Higgins described the bill in a statement as “a strategic maneuver in our war against the cartels.”
Correa, in an interview Tuesday, said the U.S. does not cooperate enough with its foreign partners. He called on the government to adopt a more collaborative approach with Mexico and other nations over strong-arming tactics.
“They’re working with us, but it’s not a working cooperation among equals,” Correa said. “We’ve got to get away from this, ‘We’re going to kick your ass, we’re going to force you to work for us,’ and say we’re working together because it’s the right thing to do for all of our constituents.”
Correa said he wasn’t sure if the Homeland Security Committee would ultimately take up his bill, but he has seen more interest from his Republican colleagues lately in working together on homeland and national security issues.
“Now, whether that makes a difference getting them through, we’ll see,” Correa said. “You know how we say here: It’s not the Republicans that are the enemy, it’s the Senate.”
