Why the model tagged it this way: The bill imposes purchasing restrictions and divestment requirements on any person or company that contracts with the federal government to build a physical border wall, creating a public blacklist and certification requirements that penalize participation in federal border construction. This is classified under immigration-enforcement because it directly targets border wall activity (a form of border security and enforcement) and reduces state cooperation or support for it; no provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
