Securing our Border Act
HR 4765, the "Securing our Border Act," allocates federal funds to enhance border security at land ports of entry. It directs one-third of unobligated funds toward achieving 100% scanning of vehicles using nonintrusive inspection systems by 2034, and two-thirds toward constructing a border wall along the southwest border, requiring quarterly reports on progress and costs. The bill also authorizes recruitment, retention, and relocation bonuses for U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents, with specific limits (e.g., up to $15,000 for recruitment). Additionally, it amends immigration law to require returning certain migrants to contiguous territory or a safe third country while processing their cases, rather than allowing immediate release. These provisions directly affect CBP operations, border infrastructure, and immigration processing procedures.
