US EditionAlabama congressman on committee that approved $69 billion for border security
- U.S. Representative Dale Strong, a Republican from Alabama's 5th District, participated this week in approving $69 billion for border security funding through the House Homeland Security Committee in Washington, D.C.
- This funding approval followed ongoing efforts to advance legislation aligned with President Trump's border security priorities amid historically low daily border apprehensions reported in early 2025.
- The budget includes investment in border barrier construction, advanced surveillance technology, drone mitigation, and hiring 3,000 additional Border Patrol agents along with Air and Marine personnel.
- In March 2025, U.S. Border Patrol recorded approximately 7,181 southwest border apprehensions, marking a decline of 14% from February and continuing a trend of historically low crossings.
- The committee's action represents a legislative step toward implementing border security measures intended to enhance interdiction capabilities and staffing levels while further debate on broader reconciliation measures continues in the House.
