Keeping America Safe In 2006, Congresswoman Sanchez helped pass the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act (or, SAFE Port Act) into law. This law has made substantial improvements to maritime security and helped secure the movement of goods through southern California via the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Through her work on the subcommittee with primary jurisdiction over America's ports, Rep. Sanchez has been able to improve the resiliency of our supply chain and further enhance maritime security. Congresswoman Sanchez embraces a pragmatic approach to maritime security and supports a balance between strong maritime security initiatives and the swift movement of goods that America's "just in time" economy requires. Immigration Reform Securing our Borders As a member of the subcommittee charged with securing America's borders, Congresswoman Sanchez has taken a lead role in addressing the Mexican drug cartel violence occurring near our southwest border. In addition to advocating for southbound border vehicle searches to reduce weapons and cash smuggling into Mexico, she has also raised awareness of the risks facing our northern border with Canada and our maritime borders. Congresswoman Sanchez believes that strong border security can be achieved without compromising America's core civil liberties. To ensure proper privacy and civil protections during border searches of travelers' electronic devices, Congresswoman Sanchez recently re-introduced the Border Security Search Accountability Act (H.R. 1726 in the 111th Congress). This legislation would ensure that fundamental civil rights are respected while ensuring the security of our nation's borders. |
