Border Security Investment Act

This bill creates a 37% fee on electronic money transfers sent to the five countries whose citizens most often entered the United States illegally in the previous year. Half of the money collected would go to a fund that pays border states back for their border security costs. The other half would go to a fund for building technology and barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border and paying Border Patrol agent wages. If too much money builds up in these funds, the extra money must be used to reduce the national debt.
