Brownsville has received significant media attention surrounding immigration policies and border-wall funding costs. In 2006, President George W. Bush signed into law the Secure Fence Act of 2006. The act administered the construction of a border fence extending from San Diego in California through the entry of the Port of Brownsville. In 2008, the United States Department of Homeland Security issued a proposal to add of border fence and reallocate portions of the University of Texas at Brownsville campus. The proposal would have transferred of university land, including several historical monuments and the university's golf course, to Mexico. However, the proposal was altered after Andrew Hanen, a federal district judge, rejected the department's idea.
