Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is leading a bipartisan group in Congress urging President Joe Biden to approve permits for four U.S.-Mexico bridge projects to expand economic opportunities in the region.
"As members of Congress who represent Texas border communities, we write to express our frustration over the delayed issuance of presidential permits for key bridge projects between the United States and Mexico," Cruz and the other bipartisan lawmakers wrote to Biden. "Bureaucratic barriers are preventing Texas communities from receiving the presidential permits required to construct four crucial bridges in Brownsville, Laredo, and Eagle Pass .
"The Senate and the House of Representatives have separately advanced bipartisan legislation that would remove these unnecessary barriers for applicants," the letter said. "Instead of waiting for Congress to resolve differences and enact final legislation, we urge you to use your existing authority to remove these barriers now and to swiftly approve these economically critical cross-border bridge projects.
"Together, these four bridges will shorten lengthy delays in crossings, help lower the cost of goods for American families, and spur significant job growth. I am thankful to my Senate colleagues, including Chair Bob Menendez, and the administration for working with me to get these projects moving forward."
