Bill 119 HR 445, also known as the "Border Security Trust Fund Act," aims to establish trust funds specifically dedicated to funding border security measures in the United States.

The bill does not specify a specific amount of funding for the trust funds, but rather authorizes Congress to appropriate funds as needed to support border security initiatives. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for oversight and accountability measures to ensure that the funds are used effectively and efficiently. Overall, the Border Security Trust Fund Act aims to provide dedicated funding for essential border security measures to help protect the nation's borders and enhance national security.
