Bill overview
This bill, the State Border Security Act, amends the Secure Fence Act of 2006 to allow states within 25 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border to erect temporary protective fencing, such as concertina wire or razor wire, to deter unlawful immigration. The bill specifically prohibits the federal government from removing this state-erected fencing unless it can prove the state intended to facilitate illegal immigration. It also clarifies the definition of ‘protective fencing’ and incorporates ‘operational control’ into the existing legal framework.
