WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Lawmakers say they are concerned about an increase in human and drug trafficking across the border between the U.S. and Canada.
Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pennsylvania, says it’s time to expand the discussion about border security.
“There’s a lot more to the borders of the United States than just the southwestern border. We also have a northern border,” Kelly said.
That’s why Kelly and other House Republicans created the Northern Border Caucus.
“We have big borders but we’ve always kind of trusted that there’s going to be oversight. The thing we’re finding out now is there really not as much oversight as we need,” Kelly said.
