U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, will be in El Paso for a roundtable talk about improving international commerce along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Cornyn, who sits on the Judiciary Committee’s Immigration, Refugees and Border Security subcommittee, will meet with trade representatives and business leaders from both the U.S. and Mexico. He plans to use the discussion to include some topics into an updated version of the Emergency Port of Entry Personnel and Infrastructure Funding Act of 2009, which he will introduce next month.
He will then tour Secure Origins Inc., technology services company, to learn about advanced technology being created to monitor cargo entering the United States from Mexico. Customs and Border Protection has developed a pilot program with the company to transport cargo more effectively through the country's ports of entry.
Participants in the discussion will include the presidents of the Border Trade Alliance, El Paso Chamber of Commerce, El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and representatives from the Coalicion Empresarial Pro Libre Comercio, a Juarez-based trade and commerce group.
