More Funds for US Border Security: Redirecting Aid for Domestic Safety.

This act reallocates $240 million from foreign aid designated for refugee and migration assistance in Central America. These funds will be transferred to the Department of Homeland Security to enhance security along the southern U.S. border, including supporting Customs and Border Protection activities and reimbursing Texas and Arizona for their border security programs. This means resources previously intended for international humanitarian efforts will now be used to bolster domestic border protection.
