Elements of the House Democrats’ border security proposal

In advance of the February 15 shutdown deadline, as an alternative to Trump’s border wall, here’s what the House Democrats are proposing. This is as summarized by Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-California) in today’s House-Senate conference committee meeting:

Ports of entry: 1,000 additional CBP officers; imaging technology; southbound scans
Border Patrol stations infrastructure repair / improvement backlog
Border security technology between ports of entry
Mail processing facilities
Aircraft and vessels for CBP and Coast Guard
Humanitarian aid and improved facilities
Alternatives to detention
New HSI agents
Fewer detention beds
Detention facility inspections and healthcare
TSA and FEMA support
