Key Points
- This bill, introduced by Cornyn and King, would create a new program where the U.S. and Mexican militaries train together on U.S. soil. The goal is to help Mexico's military get better at fighting powerful criminal groups and drug cartels.
- The training would focus on specific skills like using helicopters for missions, tracking where cartel money comes from, and stopping the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people across borders.
- If passed, the Department of Defense would have about six months to create a plan and must get the Mexican government to agree to the partnership before starting the joint exercises.
- This matters because it aims to weaken cartels by improving the tactics and technology used by the Mexican military, which could eventually lead to less illegal activity and violence near the U.S. border.
