Barrasso Bill Finishes Border Wall with COVID Funds

U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) recently introduced legislation requiring unobligated COVID-19 funds to be used to finish building the southern border wall. Barrasso said that border walls work and his proposal would finish the wall.

The Build the Wall Act would establish the “Southern Border Wall Construction Fund” and require the Department of Homeland Security to use any unobligated Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to construct and maintain physical barriers along the southern border of the United States.

Co-sponsors of this legislation include U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Jim Risch of Idaho, James Lankford of Oklahoma, and Roger Marshall of Kansas.
