The amount this bill does on immigration is wild compared to how little attention its getting

This is going into tomorrow's weekly Border Update. Unless the Senate changes it drastically (unlikely but not impossible), this bill is going to do so much harm to non-citizens and border communities in the United States.
Border and Immigration-Related Items in the House Reconciliation Bill (H.R. 1) Spending Over $1 Billion Spending Over $100 million New Fees (to increase with inflation) "$46.5 billion for border barriers. “Planned investments,” the Homeland Security Committee reported, “include: completion of 701 miles of primary wall, construction of 900 miles of river barriers, 629 miles of secondary barriers, and replacement of 141 miles of vehicle and pedestrian barriers.” $45 billion for adult and family detention, enough to detain 100,000 people at a time. The New York Times reported in early April that ICE had already requested proposals from contractors who run detention facilities. $14.40 billion for transportation and removal of deportees. $12 billion to reimburse states’ border security spending, like Texas’s “Operation Lone Star” crackdown. $8 billion to hire 10,000 new ICE personnel. $5 billion for CBP facilities construction. $5 billion for military role in border security. $4.1 billion to hire 3,000 new Border Patrol agents, 5,000 CBP Office of Field Operations Officers, 200 new Air and Marine Operations agents, and 290 support staff. $3 billion to the Office of Refugee Resettlement for unaccompanied children. $2.77 billion for CBP surveillance technology, “such as ground detection sensors, integrated surveillance towers, tunnel detection capability, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and enhanced communications equipment.” $2.05 billion for CBP retention bonuses and signing incentives. $1.63 billion to protect the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics. $1.32 billion for ICE legal advisor (immigration prosecutors). $1.25 billion for the immigration court system (EOIR). $1.23 billion for CBP Air and Marine Operations procurement. $1.08 billion for non-intrusive inspection scanners." "$950 million to incarcerate criminal aliens. $860 million for bonuses to recruit and retain ICE officers. $813 million for CBP vehicles. $790 million for state and local participation in homelan…

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

If you know someone who was recently illegally fired, please check on them. This is a hard time, and your care could make a difference.

They were only off by about $231 million.
DOGE Said It Cut $232 Million From Social Security Budget. It Was Only About Half a Million.
The Social Security budget cut, an anti-trans attack, was the latest example of confusion sown by bold claims that wither under scrutiny.
