Evidence
"That is why I will continue to champion my bill, the People’s Border Wall Fund Act, which will create a special fund within the U.S. Treasury that will be able to accept privately donated funds for the sole purpose of building a wall along our southern border."
"Sponsor: Rep. Grothman, Glenn [R-WI-6] (Introduced 01/04/2019)" and "Latest Action: House - 01/04/2019 Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means." The tracker lists the bill status as "Introduced."
Assessments
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.
