GOP's Border Bill: Wall Funding, Mass Deportations Planned | JQJO

Republicans in Congress are advancing a massive bill including $46.5 billion for a border wall, funds for 20,000 new border officers, and a $1,000 asylum fee. The bill, part of a larger tax package, aims for 1 million annual deportations and 100,000 detention beds. Democrats are opposing the bill's strict immigration measures, citing concerns about human rights violations and the targeting of American citizens. House Republicans aim for passage by Memorial Day, while the Senate prepares its own version. The bill faces considerable public opposition and legal challenges.
