A graphic with the PPC logo at the top and black text on a yellow background. A hooded skeleton with a scythe is by the headline, "Terrible ways the Congressional Budget causes harm." Text reads, "The GOP's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich since chattel slavery. Here is one of the worst things about it. It terrorizes immigrant families. The GOP budget provides $170 billion to arrest, detain, deport, and wall off migrants. That includes $45 billion for new immigration detention centers, including family detention facilities — a vast increase that will primarily benefit private companies contracted to build and run them.
