What this bill would do

This bill, known as "THE DON-ument Act," would create the Southern Border Wall National Monument. It would cover about 289,920 acres in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. The goal of the monument is to protect the southern border wall from being altered. The Bureau of Land Management would be responsible for administering the area. The Secretary of the Interior must also create a general management plan within three years of receiving funds.

The opposite· 3 of 8

  • Would immigrants be better off under this?-7

    The bill specifically seeks to protect a wall designed to deter immigration.

  • Does this make it easier for immigrants already here to become citizens?-5

    The focus on maintaining a physical barrier is generally contrary to goals of facilitating legal immigration pathways.

  • Does this better protect air, water and wildlife?-4
