S 4392 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Build the Wall Act of 2024

This bill establishes the Southern Border Wall Construction Fund in the Treasury, using unobligated funds from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (originally allocated for pandemic relief). The Secretary of Homeland Security would direct these funds to build and maintain physical barriers along the southern U.S. border. It directly affects federal border construction efforts by redirecting existing, unused pandemic recovery money toward border barrier projects, without creating new taxes or spending.
