Bill Title~ Improving America's Search Methods

Purpose~ We are trying to decrease the amount of illegal or dangerous objects that visitors bring with them to the United States.

Eligibility~ This bill will affect visitors from all countries and the border states along the Canadian and Mexican borders.

Terms and Benefits~ Step 1: Present proof of Citizenship Step 2: Search Belongings with scanners. If anything suspicious is found, employees can look through it by hand. Step 3: Search person with X-Ray machine and metal detector wand. -if something is detected, they will receive a pat-down. If nothing dangerous, illegal, or suspicious is found, they will continue on normally with the entry process.. If they are not, the person is deported and unable to return to the U.S. for 30 months.

Fiscal Impact~ We are going to pay for this bill by rasing taxes. The employees pay is $36,658 per person. This is the pay for the GL-5, which is the lowest in the border patrol. There will be 3,000 employees per building. This was decided based off of airport security. In an airport, there are 45,000 security employees. We decided on having less than the airport, because there wouldn't have to be as much security. The metal detecting wands cost $50 to $200 each. We will get 200 of them at about $100 each. The X-Ray machines will cost 130,000-170,000 each. An average price is $150,000. The scanners will cost 1,000,000 each. The whole bill will cost about $ 111,126,000 plus $109,974,000 a year to pay the employees.
