Rep. John McGuire Introduces Border Wall Status Act

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, U.S. Representative John McGuire (VA-05), introduced the Border Wall Status Act. This bill directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish a publicly accessible webpage on the Department of Homeland Security website individuals can use to view active border wall construction and progress. 

“President Trump has done more to secure our southern border than any other President in our nation’s history,” said Congressman McGuire. “Illegal crossings at our southern border are at a record low thanks to President Trump and his Administration’s decisive action. I was proud to join my Republican colleagues in passing the Working Families Tax Cut, which provided the resources necessary to finish the border wall and make the southern border the most secure border in history. I am proud to introduce this bill which will allow the American people to view the historic progress at our southern border.” 

Background: 

The American people want a secure border and deserve to see the historic progress made by President Trump in fortifying our southern border. The Border Wall Status Act delivers for the American people and will establish a public webpage through the Department of Homeland Security website, where the American people can view active border wall construction and the progress made.
