Finish It Act: Stop Wasting Taxpayer Money on Stored Border Wall Materials.

This bill mandates the immediate cessation of public spending on storing unused border wall construction materials by requiring the Department of Defense to transfer or donate them to southern border states. The goal is to utilize these materials to enhance border security and stop the daily waste of approximately $130,000 in storage fees, benefiting taxpayers and potentially improving national security.
Key points
Requires the Department of Defense to use, transfer, or donate all excess border wall materials (valued at $300 million) to states along the southern border.
Ends the current expenditure of approximately $130,000 per day paid by the DoD for storing these unused construction materials.
States receiving materials must certify they will use them exclusively for building a permanent border barrier within two years or face financial penalties.
