Public Description:
H.R. 4437, the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act, would strengthen border enforcement through increased personnel and infrastructure (including border fencing); would encourage involvement of state and local law enforcement agencies in – and provide appropriate reimbursement to those agencies for – immigration enforcement; would authorize coordinated border surveillance efforts between DHS and DOD; would eliminate the visa lottery; and would require completion of all background checks prior to the granting of any legal immigration status.
