To impose a fee on certain remittance transfers to fund border security.

HR 6817 imposes a 10% fee on money sent overseas through remittance services (e.g., Western Union, MoneyGram) to fund border security. The fee applies to all international transfers, with U.S. citizens receiving a refundable tax credit equal to the fee paid. Collected fees will fund the new Border Enforcement Trust Fund, which can only be used to hire border agents, build barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border, and operate detention facilities for undocumented immigrants. The bill also includes penalties for evading the fee and restricts foreign aid for countries aiding fee evasion.
