Bill > S42

This bill, known as the "Build the Wall Act of 2025", establishes a new Southern Border Wall Construction Fund within the U.S. Treasury to finance the construction and maintenance of physical barriers along the southern border of the United States. The bill mandates that all unobligated funds from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (which were originally allocated to help state and local governments recover from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic) will be immediately transferred to this new Fund. Specifically, the unobligated amounts from sections 602 and 603 of the Social Security Act will be redirected, and the Secretary of Homeland Security will be authorized to use these funds exclusively for building and maintaining border wall infrastructure. By repurposing pandemic relief funds for border wall construction, the bill represents a significant shift in the allocation of federal resources from pandemic recovery to border security efforts.
