Border Security Reserve Fund: New Resources for Protection and Drug Fight.

This act establishes a special fund to help border states and the U.S. Border Patrol enhance security. Money for the fund will come from confiscated illegal narcotics, meaning the fight against drug crime will directly support border protection. Importantly, these funds cannot be used by "sanctuary cities" or for migrant overflow housing.
