State Border Security Act

S 3668 (State Border Security Act) prohibits federal employees from removing or destroying fencing erected by state governments within 25 miles of the US-Mexico border. This directly affects state governments that have built such fencing and federal agencies that might seek to dismantle it. The bill adds a new provision requiring the federal government to prove, with clear evidence, that the fencing was intended to *facilitate* illegal immigration (not deter it) before removing it. Otherwise, federal removal of state-erected fencing is banned. The exception allows federal action only when the state's intent to aid illegal immigration is proven.
