The bill would
Authorize Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to purchase up to 50 nonintrusive inspection (NII) systems for use at the southern border of the United States
By March 30, 2027, require CBP to inspect at least 10 percent of vehicles exiting the country into Mexico
Require Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to hire 200 additional agents
Impose reporting requirements on CBP

Costs associated with construction and with procurement and maintenance of NII systems
Adding CBP and ICE personnel
Areas of significant uncertainty include
Projecting the amount of vehicle traffic into Mexico from the United States
Predicting the configuration of land ports of entry
