Chip Roy's Permanent Trump Secure Border Act HR 9199 advances committee

Rep. Chip Roy's H.R. 9199 mandates 900 miles of wall, 22,000 border agents, and new asylum fee and work limits.

Mandates resumed wall construction within seven days, covering 900 miles of the southwest border.
Caps parole authority and imposes new asylum application fees and work permit restrictions.
House Judiciary Committee advanced the bill on July 21, 2026, one day before this report.

Why it matters: Naming a law after a president does not bind future ones; it builds a permanent apparatus they inherit.
