This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to restart construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall within seven days of enactment, using funds already set aside for it. It would require a wall, barriers, and surveillance technology along at least 900 miles of the southwest border. It would also require the Secretary to waive legal requirements that would slow construction. Other provisions would set a minimum of 22,000 Border Patrol agents and authorize retention bonuses. They would also create a border law enforcement grant program, bar funding to process entry of people arriving between ports of entry, and require monthly publication of border statistics. The bill also contains immigration provisions on asylum, family detention, unaccompanied children, visa overstays, and parole.
