HR 816 United States House · 119th Congress

Build the Wall Act of 2025

The Build the Wall Act of 2025 creates a new fund called the Southern Border Wall Construction Fund to finance physical barriers along the U.S. southern border. It requires all unspent funds from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (originally for pandemic relief) to be transferred immediately into this new account. The Secretary of Homeland Security would then use these redirected funds to construct and maintain border barriers. This bill changes how existing federal funds are allocated, shifting resources from pandemic recovery efforts to border security infrastructure.
