the megabill if passed in it's current form, would devote 1/6 of the entire GDP to ICE and related offices.

[Crepitus]

The bill would provide $45 billion to build immigration jails “for single adult alien detention capacity and family residential center capacity” — a 13-fold increase over ICE’s 2024 detention budget, according to a National Immigration Law Center analysis.

The bill also allocates $29.9 billion in additional funding for ICE activities, including hiring thousands of new immigration agents and giving them huge bonuses, some up to 5 figures just for signing up., as well as for transportation contracts for moving their victims.

And then there's $46.6 billion for border wall construction and even more for facilities ($5 billion), personnel ($4.1 billion), bonuses ($2.05 billion) and vehicles ($855 million).

Plus $10 billion for a “State Border Security Reinforcement Fund,” which would compensate states that build their own border walls, “interdict” unauthorized migrants and “relocate” those migrants elsewhere in the country. ( basically paying texas and florida to shuffle them somewhere else.

That all adds up to nearly $5 trillion.

Which is a lotta money to spend on screwing up the country.

Lol. Why shouldn't it?

The law is made to be obeyed, correct? Or are you just for selective application?

All laws apply in every situation. Never should they rest.

Trump’s immigration agenda is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate, seeking to lawlessly remove immigrants of color regardless their immigration state – including those who have committed no crimes.

Trump’s immigration agenda is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate, seeking to lawlessly remove immigrants of color regardless their immigration state – including those who have committed no crimes.

There’s a program that is putting out ads from HSA, telling these illegals, that if they would self deport, the US would arrange their flight, give them $1000, and would not block them from coming back legally. If they have to be caught, and removed, they get none of that, and will be barred from returning.

I’d say that’s pretty generous.

That math doesn't sound right.

So
$45 B

• $29.9 Billion
• 46.6 Billion
• 10 Billion

= 131.5 Billion.

Not 5 Trillion.

Or 1/6 of GDP.

Worth every penny. When something is messed-up you have to spend the money to fix it....And even more prudent spending to prevent more of what you had to fix.

To put it in perspective....After the CW a few of the Southern States spent the bulk of their state budgets buying/fitting artificial limbs to their wounded veterans that needed them.
