Fund and Complete the Border Wall Act

HR 114, the "Fund and Complete the Border Wall Act," establishes a Secure the Southern Border Fund to finance border barrier construction and maintenance along the U.S.-Mexico border. The bill creates a 5% fee on remittance transfers to foreign countries and increases Form I-94 processing fees, with portions of these fees directed to the fund. It requires the Department of Homeland Security to report annually on illegal border crossings and sets a December 31, 2023, deadline for completing border barriers. The legislation also includes provisions for border patrol agent compensation and allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to waive legal requirements to expedite border wall construction.
