HR 7372 United States House · 118th Congress

Defending Borders, Defending Democracies Act

This bill, HR 7372, creates two main components: border control measures and defense appropriations. The border provisions authorize the temporary expulsion of certain inadmissible aliens arriving at the US-Mexico border for one year, with specific rules for where they can be sent and protections against expulsion to countries where they'd face persecution or torture. The defense section appropriates over $34 billion for military personnel, operations, and equipment to support Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, including specific funding for defense systems like Iron Dome. It includes reporting requirements for how these funds are used and sets a one-year expiration for all provisions.
