HR 199 United States House · 118th Congress

Secure America’s Borders First Act

HR 199, the "Secure America’s Borders First Act," prohibits using U.S. funds for Ukraine security programs until two conditions are met: a border wall system is completed along the U.S.-Mexico border and full border control is achieved (as defined in the 2006 Secure Fence Act). The bill specifically blocks Department of Defense funding and security assistance for Ukraine until these border requirements are satisfied. The border wall must include a 30-foot steel barrier, access roads, lighting, and surveillance technology. This restriction applies only to Ukraine-related security aid, not other defense spending.
