Grant Integrity and Border Security Act

HR 8334, the Grant Integrity and Border Security Act, requires all applicants for federal grants to certify they have not violated immigration laws (specifically, harboring unauthorized immigrants) in the past decade. If an agency determines a grant recipient violated this requirement - based on information from Homeland Security, employee convictions, or credible evidence - the agency must withhold grant funds. The bill directly affects organizations and entities applying for or receiving federal grants, including local governments, nonprofits, and educational institutions. It adds a new compliance check to federal grant programs, linking eligibility to adherence to immigration law, without altering border security operations themselves.
