Yesterday, Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) introduced his first bill as a United States Senator, the Build the Wall Now Act.

Senate co-sponsors include Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Steve Daines (R-MT), Mike Crapo (R-ID), James Risch (R-ID), and Mike Rounds (R-SD). The House version of the bill is led by Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN). The bill is supported by the National Border Patrol Council, Federation for American Immigration Reform, NumbersUSA, and Heritage Action for America.
