Rep. Roy introduces legislation to mandate 900 miles of border wall construction
The Permanent Trump Secure Border Act requires the federal government to resume wall construction within seven days of enactment. This bill aims to codify border enforcement measures to prevent policy shifts between presidential administrations. It sets a specific target of completing at least 900 miles of physical barriers along the southern border. Supporters argue that Congress must pass the legislation to ensure long-term security and move beyond what they describe as political theater. In addition to physical walls, the proposal mandates 24-hour surveillance using drones and sensors. The bill also includes provisions to restrict asylum access and increase the number of Border Patrol agents.
