His amendment would remove restrictions on Customs and Border Patrol funding for construction of new walls along our southern border. Congressman Harris made the following statement on the amendment: "Violent, criminal gangs like MS-13 are an increasing problem and remain a critical threat to our nation. My amendment removes Congressionally-imposed restrictions on Customs and Border Patrol authority to use border security funds for whatever purpose they feel most effective, including the construction of a border wall. The amendment would allow funding for the deployment of new sections and new designs of the border wall as President Trump and Customs and Border Patrol deem necessary. I am committed to keeping our promise to the American people to secure our nation. I am confident that my amendment will allow just that." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:06:18Z |
