State Border Security Assistance Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement.
Latest action on H.R. 3464: Referred to the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects states, local governments, law enforcement agencies, courts, jails, and noncitizens involved in immigration enforcement or related criminal cases. Border communities could see more barriers, surveillance, land preparation, or enforcement activity. Some non-border areas could also receive money if they meet rules set by the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Justice.
Why this matters: This bill could change how much border and immigration enforcement work states and local governments can afford to do. It would put large federal grants behind barriers, surveillance, arrests, prosecutions, detention, and transport. That could affect local staffing, jail use, court workloads, equipment buying, and border construction. The bill does not say exactly how it would affect migration, crime, or local communities, so those results remain uncertain.
