Redirect UNRWA Funds to Border Wall Construction and Prohibit Future Funding

This bill proposes to redirect federal funds appropriated for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) to construct a permanent physical barrier along the southwest border of the United States. Additionally, the bill prohibits any future federal funding for UNRWA. This signifies a shift in taxpayer money from international aid to border security projects. For citizens, this could mean increased investment in border infrastructure at the expense of support for Palestinian refugees.
Key points
Federal funds allocated for UNRWA, but not yet disbursed, will be redirected to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
All future federal funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) will be completely stopped.
A shift in federal spending priorities from foreign aid to national border security.
