Bill overview
This bill aims to restart the construction of a border wall system along the U.S.-Mexico border. It mandates that if the National Guard or Armed Forces are deployed to the border, the Department of Homeland Security must resume construction of existing or planned barriers, roads, and related infrastructure. The bill also ensures that contracts for border wall construction established before January 20, 2021, are not canceled and makes funds appropriated from 2018-2021 available for this purpose, while also authorizing additional funding from subsequent years.
