SCM 1017 Summary

• Concurrent memorial urging the United States Congress to provide funding for expansion of the port of entry at Douglas, Arizona.

• Identifies the Douglas port of entry as critical to national security, border security, immigration enforcement, and facilitation of trade between the United States and Mexico.

• States that the existing land port of entry in Douglas lacks adequate physical space, logistical capacity, and infrastructure to efficiently process people and materials and accommodate projected increases in U.S.-Mexico trade.

• Asserts that insufficient port resources enable drug trafficking, human trafficking, counterfeit goods, and other security threats.

• Directs the Arizona Secretary of State to transmit copies of the memorial to the President of the U.S. Senate, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and each Member of Congress from Arizona.
