Plain-English Summary

This bill would ensure that U.S. Border Patrol agents and other immigration enforcement officers continue receiving their paychecks during government shutdowns, when normal funding lapses. The measure affects thousands of federal workers who patrol borders and enforce immigration laws, guaranteeing they stay on the job and get paid even when Congress fails to pass a budget.
