Indiana congressman introduces bill to finish building southern border wall 

U.S. Rep. Jefferson Shreve (IN-06) introduced his first bill in the 119th Congress to finish building the border wall along the southern border with COVID-19 recovery funds.  The “Build the Wall Act” creates a Southern Border Wall Construction Fund to utilize unspent COVID-19 recovery money from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. The bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to utilize the funds to complete the wall.& Jefferson Shreve “COVID funds have been mishandled for years. It’s time to put these taxpayer dollars to use toward something the American people want: A secure border,” Shreve said. “My first bill will deliver upon a commitment to every community and family that have been damaged by Biden’s open border policies. It is past time to secure the entirety of our southern border.”& The bill was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives on Jan. 28 and now moves to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on Homeland Security.& A companion bill has been introduced in the Senate by Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY).& This is an ongoing story and will be updated as new information comes to light. To read more like this, click here....
