States to get billions for border security and crimes by non-citizens.
This bill would set aside $14.5 billion — roughly $44 per American — to help states and local governments pay for border security efforts and to deal with crimes involving non-citizens. States could use this money for things like building border barriers, increasing surveillance, and prosecuting certain crimes. It would also let states get reimbursed for eligible costs they've already spent since January 20, 2021.
Currently, no specific federal funds are dedicated to grants for state and local governments for border security. There are also no dedicated funds for apprehending, prosecuting, and detaining non-citizens involved in crimes. This bill would establish two new federal funds, setting aside a total of $14,500,000,000. This money would be available as grants to states and local governments for these specific activities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred since January 20, 2021.
