Prohibition on Federal Removal of State-Built Border Barriers

This bill aims to prevent the federal government from removing or altering barriers, fences, or barbed wire constructed by individual states along the U.S. border. This means that state-built structures designed to prevent unlawful crossings will be protected from federal intervention. For citizens, this could imply strengthened border control in certain regions, potentially impacting security and immigration policies.
Key points
