WALL Act of 2025

The WALL Act of 2025 appropriates $25 billion for constructing a physical barrier along the southern U.S. border. It implements new Social Security number requirements for tax credits like the child tax credit and earned income tax credit, with exceptions for individuals prohibited from working in the U.S. The bill also mandates E-Verify checks for eligibility for certain federal benefits, including housing assistance, and increases civil penalties for illegal entry and overstay. These provisions directly affect immigrants seeking tax benefits, housing assistance, and those who enter the country without authorization.
