HB40

HB40 **__Title:__** Clean Crossings Alyssa Schwartz: Arizona Moderate @Genevieve Cimoroni: Texas Moderate Kelsey Kadow: Oklahoma Moderate __** Purpose: **__ This bill has the purpose of stopping illegal immigrants from sneaking drugs across the border. Not only are they coming here illegally, but they are bringing unwanted substances into our country. Most of the drug dealers are violent and dangerous to the citizens of the US. This bill will help keep the country safe from harm and will help keep U.S. citizens drug free. We want to enforce the fact that they will no longer get away with this. The bill we are proposing will help make border patrol stronger. __** Eligibility: **__ This bill benefits many people. This includes the good, clean citizens of the U.S. This bill will keep them free from drugs and safe from violence. It will create more jobs for the American workers and will also take advances in technology in order to catch illegal immigrants. The U.S. citizens deserve to be benefitted from this bill. The people who will receive a penalty for this bill are the drug dealers who try to smuggle goods and the people who buy the goods. Both of these groups will be punished whether they are U.S. citizens or not. Illegal immigrants will also be affected by this bill. They could be punished for drugs or coming here illegally to the United States.
 * __ Sponsors’ Names: __**


 * __ Terms and Benefits: __**
 * 1) By making improvements to the border patrol, more jobs will be created. Border patrol will become stronger and enforce the rules. We will need people to help build an electric fence in the areas where illegal immigration is a main concern. More help for border patrol can also be a job available to the citizens. Some benefits from this bill should be for the border patrol to protect this country more and try to keep it drug free.
 * 2) Punishments will also be decided by the amount of drugs the people possess and how much harsh and violence the people have used. This will lead to an increase in court cases. Those are only a couple of ways to punish illegal immigrants with drugs. This bill affects everyone not only in the United States but also the places where illegal immigrants are from.
 * 3) One effect of this issue is that people can rebel. They also could hurt the border patrols that are doing their jobs. This bill also involves more money to be spent. The bill we propose is discretionary and will be in effect for however long the congressman or woman is in place. In order to pay for these changes, the rich people will be taxed greater amounts and will use taxes.
 * 4) People who will enforce the bill are border patrol, police, and a committee for spending. The committee includes respected people in government who are passionate about this issue. Some items the committee will look into buying are weapons, transportation vehicles, and guard dogs.
