Money is appropriated for staff, bonuses, vehicles and facilities
What the document says“$4,100,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2029, to hire and train additional Border Patrol agents, Office of Field Operations officers, Air and Marine agents, rehired annuitants, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection field support personnel.”
The section appropriates to the Commissioner for fiscal year 2025 four sums: $4,100,000,000 available until September 30, 2029 to hire and train more Border Patrol agents, Office of Field Operations officers, Air and Marine agents, rehired annuitants and field support staff; $2,052,630,000 for recruitment, performance and retention bonuses; $855,000,000 to repair and to lease or buy patrol units; and $5,000,000,000 for leasing, buying, building, designing or improving facilities and checkpoints.
What the document actually says“$4,100,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2029, to hire and train additional Border Patrol agents, Office of Field Operations officers, Air and Marine agents, rehired annuitants, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection field support personnel.”
The sum is $4.1 billion. It hires and trains more border staff. It can be spent through September 30, 2029.
Three more sums follow. One pays bonuses. One buys and fixes patrol vehicles. One covers buildings and checkpoints.
