The bill says that money seized from people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border with unreported cash will be used to pay for this program from 2025 to 2028. The Department of Homeland Security must also write reports to Congress about its hiring practices from 2018 to 2024, whether certain gangs and drug cartels should be called terrorist organizations, and what technology is needed to secure the border with Mexico.
