A bill to authorize certain States to erect temporary protective fencing within 25 miles of the southwest border to deter illegal immigration.

Bill 118 s 3668, also known as the "Temporary Protective Fencing Authorization Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that would allow certain states to install temporary protective fencing within 25 miles of the southwest border in order to deter illegal immigration. The bill aims to address the ongoing issue of unauthorized individuals crossing the border and entering the United States without proper documentation.

If passed, this bill would grant specific states the authority to erect temporary fencing along the border to help prevent illegal immigration. The fencing would serve as a physical barrier to deter individuals from crossing into the country unlawfully. The bill does not specify which states would be eligible to participate in this program, but it is likely that states along the southwest border, such as Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California, would be the primary candidates.

The proposed legislation does not provide details on the specific design or construction of the fencing, but it is likely that it would be similar to existing border barriers such as walls or fences. The bill does not specify a timeline for the installation of the fencing or how long it would remain in place. Overall, Bill 118 s 3668 seeks to address the issue of illegal immigration by authorizing certain states to install temporary protective fencing along the southwest border. The bill aims to enhance border security and deter individuals from entering the country without proper authorization.
