The Secure America Act fully funds border security through September of 2029, delivering $39B for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), $26B for Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and $5B to DHS for other border security priorities. “For six months out of the last year, Congressional Democrats kept DHS shut down,” said Congressman Barr. “They want to abolish ICE, end border security, and open the border just like they did under Joe Biden’s failed Presidency. I will not let that happen. I’m proud to stand with CBP and all our patriots serving at the DHS to secure our border and keep America safe.” Barr voted for the Big Beautiful Bill, the largest border security investment in history, enacted in July of 2025. Barr has a perfect, A+ Rating from NumbersUSA, the preeminent border security advocacy group in the country. He’s currently championing the Dalilah Act, legislation that would crack down on states that issue commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to illegal persons. ### | 1 | 2026-06-10T06:36:00Z | 2026-06-10T06:37:32Z |
