I’ve half-assed searched for the prohibition asserted by the OP. Maybe it’s in there, I don’t know. Page 739 allocates $341,200,000 to replace approximately 40 miles of border fence

Meanwhile, Trump’s actual proposed first budget, which will be for fiscal 2018, calls specifically for $2.6 billion for a “physical wall”. I’ll wait and panic when Trump surrenders on his own actual proposal.

There are explicit restrictions to block the border wall. We knew last week there would be no money to start construction on a project that the president says is more important to his base than anything else. But the final agreement goes further, putting strict limitations on how Trump can use new money for border security (e.g. to invest in new technology and repair existing fencing)
