By office of U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.)
• 13 hours ago Amid rising COVID-19 cases, U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) led border state lawmakers in introducing the Border Health Security Act to strengthen multi-country cooperation to screen for infectious diseases and support vital public health initiatives in border communities. While millions of residents who live in border regions are citizens of different countries with independent public health infrastructures, these regions are highly interdependent with shared economic interests.
The legislation is cosponsored by U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.). U.S. Representatives Veronica Escobar (D-TX) and Tony Gonzales (R-TX) introduced companion legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives.
