Reports the Houston Chronicle:
Bishop believes his bill will end a “turf war” between the Border Patrol and federal land managers who use environmental laws to block efforts to secure the nation's borders.
“What I want to do is get the Border Patrol what they need to secure the border,” Bishop said, “and they tell me that what they need more than money and people is access. There are enormous swaths of public land that have effectively been ceded over to the drug cartels.”
