The bill would redirect remaining unobligated funds identified in the text. One-third would go to Customs and Border Protection for inspection systems, with a goal of scanning all vehicles at northern and southwest border land ports by February 6, 2034. Two-thirds would go to border wall construction along the southwest border. The Department of Homeland Security would report quarterly on construction costs and plans to reduce illegal immigration. The bill would also allow bonuses for certain Customs and Border Protection agents and change how some people arriving from neighboring territory are handled while immigration proceedings are pending.
If enacted, the bill would support more border inspections and wall construction. It would allow hiring, retention, and relocation bonuses for certain agents. Some people arriving from neighboring territory could be returned to that territory or a safe third country while proceedings continue, or detained while their asylum applications receive further consideration, including a credible fear review.
The bill does not state the total amount of funds available for transfer. It would divide the remaining unobligated balances described in the bill, with one-third for inspection systems and two-thirds for wall construction. It also authorizes bonuses, but does not state a total cost.
