If enacted, the bill would bar DHS from issuing a COVID‑19 vaccine mandate for its workforce unless Congress expressly authorizes it. DHS could not take adverse action solely for refusing the vaccine. The Secretary must report to Congress within 90 days on past terminations or resignations tied to… - Border staffing, bonuses, and patrol: benefit, medium. If enacted, the bill would require CBP to maintain at least 22,000 Border Patrol full-time equivalent agents by September 30, 2025 and to issue a Border Patrol Strategic Plan. It would set workload staffing models, workforce tracking, and reporting rules, require secure radios for CBP officers, rai… - Grants for local border law enforcement: benefit, medium. If enacted, DHS would run an Operation Stonegarden grant program to pay eligible state and local law enforcement that work with CBP and ICE. Grants could fund equipment, personnel (including overtime and backfill), and other costs. Each grant must last at least 36 months. The bill would authorize $… - State and private legal enforcement tools: benefit, low. If enacted, a State attorney general could sue the Secretary of Homeland Security for violations of detention, return, or removal rules that affect the State or its residents. The bill would also let a person, State, or local government sue the Federal Government in U.S. district court for financia… - Tighter asylum rules and fees: cost, high. If enacted, the bill would make asylum harder to get and add costs. It would raise the credible-fear screening standard to a “more likely than not” test and narrow many grounds for asylum. Asylum applicants would pay at least $50 per application (payable in installments) and the Attorney General mu… - Faster child screening and detention: cost, medium. If enacted, the bill would speed processing and change placement rules for unaccompanied children. HHS must get and share sponsor information before placement and DHS must start removal proceedings within 30 days if a sponsor is unlawfully present. Some screened children must have an immigration-ju… - Higher penalties for visa overstays: cost, medium. If enacted, a new visa-overstay violation would apply when a nonimmigrant is out of status for an aggregate of 10 days or more. Civil fines would be $500 to $1,000 per violation (doubled for repeats). Criminal penalties could include up to 6 months jail for a first offense and up to 2 years for rep… - New airport ID and biometrics rules: cost, medium. If enacted, TSA would be barred from accepting certain DHS immigration documents as valid ID at airport security checkpoints. If someone shows a prohibited document, TSA must notify ICE, CBP, and local law enforcement and may deny access to secure areas in many cases. Within 120 days, TSA would als… - Big border wall, tech, and upgrades: mixed, high. If enacted, the bill would restart southwest border wall construction within 7 days and require reinforced barriers and related infrastructure on at least 900 miles until operational control is achieved. The Secretary must give an implementation plan with annual benchmarks (including 200 miles per… - Repeal of two H-2A rules: mixed, medium. If enacted, two named H-2A temporary agricultural rulemakings would be invalidated and may not be reissued in substantially the same form. The change would affect employers and H-2A workers by removing those regulatory methodologies and blocking reissuance of similar rules. - More detention power and funding limits: mixed, medium. If enacted, DHS would have to reopen ICE facilities closed after January 20, 2021 and report plans to Congress every 90 days. The bill would bar authorization of funds for certain DHS programs (for example, alternatives-to-detention pilots and CBP shelter services) while authorizing $216 million fo… ## Related bills - 119-hr-22: SAVE Act - 119-hr-425: Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act - 119-hr-4448: Restoring Equal Opportunity Act - 119-hr-925: Dismantle DEI Act of 2025 - 119-hr-1301: Death Tax Repeal Act - 119-hr-645: National Constitutional Carry Act ## Sources - [119-hr-9199 on Congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/9199) ## Related - [119-hr-22: SAVE Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-22) - [119-hr-425: Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-425) - [119-hr-4448: Restoring Equal Opportunity Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-4448) - [119-hr-925: Dismantle DEI Act of 2025](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-925) - [119-hr-1301: Death Tax Repeal Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-1301) - [119-hr-645: National Constitutional Carry Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-645) - [All bills in Congress](https://policyrisk.com/legislation) Source: PRIA, https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-9199 (as of 2026-10-04).
