Look at the final version. His name is 8th from the bottom as a cosponsor.

I just assumed it was the final version. If your version didn't have Schumers name on it and this version did, something changed. The link says cosponsors and I see Chucks name on it. Is that wrong?
International law allows the navy/coast gaurd to intercept these stateless vessles in international waters if they pose a risk to our country.
These boats have no flag so they can be considered as pirates. They are carrying contraband that poses a risk to our national security. It is documented that hundreds of thousands of Americans die each year from these drugs. Our prison systems are kept full with drug dealers which costs the tax payer $billions.
These drug cartel members are heavily armed. Attempting to board these vassels could pose a risk to service members. Do we risk losing a crew and helicopter into the ocean or take them out the easy way?
