This act significantly increases financial penalties for unlawful entry into the U.S. It also establishes a special fund, financed by these penalties, dedicated to the construction and maintenance of a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border, as well as for purchasing equipment for Border Patrol agents. Citizens should be aware that these provisions aim to strengthen border control and increase consequences for individuals attempting to enter the country illegally.
