Border Airport Fairness Act of 2025

# Border Airport Fairness Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would require the President to designate certain major airports located near the U.S. border as official "ports of entry" for customs purposes. It would also eliminate user fees that airports currently pay for customs services. In simpler terms, it aims to streamline how customs operations work at border-area airports and reduce costs for those airports. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects airports situated near U.S.

borders, their operators, and potentially travelers passing through these airports. It could also impact the federal government's ability to collect fees that currently help fund customs operations at these locations. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't been debated or voted on by the full Senate yet. Bills in committee status may be revised, discussed further, or abandoned before moving forward.
