What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Congressional Border Security Assessment Act'', aims to give certain officials access to specific lands. It provides Members of Congress and their accompanying staff lawful access to Indian reservations that contain 50 or more contiguous miles of the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. The purpose of this access is to obtain information to assess national security, public safety, and the security of the international boundary. This access includes any roadways or easements located on Indian country.
