56 / 90 · methodology full_text_v3

The Secure America Act allocates significant funding to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for personnel, technology, and operations, with a focus on border security and immigration enforcement. The bill includes specific appropriations and restrictions on the use of funds, but lacks detailed oversight mechanisms and transparency provisions.

How the methodology works →

The Quiet Ledger grades legislation on its content. A bill grade is analysis of the bill — not a grade of its sponsor or of any member who voted on it.
