The department has exercised its waiver authority in recent years, including in 2018 and 2019. H.R. 1232 would repeal this authority for any future construction. The Congress appropriated about $1.4 billion for fiscal year 2019 for construction of barriers along the southern U.S. border. CBO expects that implementing the bill could result in DHS modifying its future plans for constructing barriers in certain areas or moving some projects to other sites. Implementation of the bill could change the rate of future spending on barrier projects, but CBO does not expect total DHS spending over the next few years to change significantly. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was reviewed by Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
