An Arizona congressman has introduced a measure that would help fund the construction of President Donald Trump’s promised border wall by trimming foreign aid to the home countries of those who illegally enter the United States.
Republican Rep. Andy Biggs says the legislation, dubbed the “Fund and Complete the Border Wall Act,” would penalize countries $2,000 in aid for each illegal alien caught crossing onto U.S. soil. Money from these penalties would then be redirected into a border wall fund.
