A Brief Overview of H.R. 6657, the 'Fund and Complete the Border Wall Act'

By Dan Cadman on October 16, 2018


Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) has introduced into the House of Representatives H.R. 6657, the "Fund and Complete the Border Wall Act".1

The bill is relatively compact because it focuses on means to fund the border wall, as the title clearly suggests, although there are some interesting and, in my view, desirable additional provisions in the bill, as readers will shortly see.

Section 1. This section simply titles the bill as the "Fund and Complete the Border Wall Act".

Unlike many bills introduced into either chamber of Congress these days, the first letter of each name in the title doesn't result in a clever acronym or buzzword. What a relief since the titles of many of those bills are clearly manipulated to arrive at the buzzword, leaving one with a sense of the artificiality of the process, which in turn can cast a shadow over the substance of the bill itself.
