North American Cooperative Security Act

The North American Cooperative Security Act (S. 853) seeks to strengthen security and law enforcement coordination between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The bill directs the Secretary of State to establish formal agreements for sharing border information, tracking international gangs, and improving security at Mexico’s southern border with financial and technical assistance.

For the average citizen, this legislation aims to improve public safety by streamlining the removal of dangerous criminal aliens and enhancing the tracking of terrorist watch lists and money laundering operations. Additionally, the bill requires regular reporting on border wait times and the movement of goods, which could lead to more efficient travel and trade across North American borders.
