$31,000,000 more for border operations, reduced as fees arrive
What the document says“For an additional amount for ``U.S. Customs and Border Protection--Operations and Support'', $31,000,000, to remain available until expended, to be reduced by amounts collected and credited to this appropriation in fiscal year 2026”
Section 229(a). A further $31,000,000 is appropriated to the border agency's operations account, available until spent, and reduced dollar for dollar by fees collected during fiscal year 2026 under the immigration user fee, agricultural quarantine inspection and customs authorities the section names. Subsection (b) credits collections above $31,000,000 to the same account, available until spent.
What the document actually says“For an additional amount for ``U.S. Customs and Border Protection--Operations and Support'', $31,000,000, to remain available until expended, to be reduced by amounts collected and credited to this appropriation in fiscal year 2026”
The border agency gets $31,000,000 more. That sum drops as fee money comes in.
The fees come from travelers and from farm goods checks. If more comes in than $31,000,000, the extra stays in the account.
