Grothman did continue advocating for the People’s Border Wall Fund Act and introduced H.R.256 in the 116th Congress, which is a serious legislative attempt. However, the bill was only referred to committee on January 4, 2019 and remained introduced, so the promised Treasury fund for private donations to build a southern border wall was not created.
