Building better infrastructure sounds good, but oversight will make or break whether this bill’s a win or a waste.

A trust fund that funds smart upgrades and hires more staff? Sounds like border reform done with heart and brains.
right-leaning 02/13/2025
Another trust fund? Just a fancy name for more government spending with less accountability—pass.
left-leaning 02/13/2025
Modernize the ports, not the barriers—this bill knows security and fairness can come together without the fearmongering.

Fixing our ports can’t be an afterthought; this bill sets a clear path, but will Congress actually fund it properly?

Trust funds are great on paper—let’s hope this one modernizes borders without burying taxpayers in hidden fees.
left-leaning 02/13/2025
Investing in border infrastructure with transparency? Finally, government doing something right while protecting workers and communities.
right-leaning 02/13/2025
Fees and surcharges climbing while the border stays a mess? No thanks, we want security, not gimmicks.
right-leaning 02/13/2025
Modernization is code for bureaucracy ballooning—how about securing the border before throwing good money after bad?
