>“It’s going to be unrecognizable in American history, the level of immigration enforcement [and] street harassment that you will see by Border Patrol, [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and all the law enforcement they have helping them out,” David J. Bier, director of immigration studies at the libertarian Cato Institute, [told NBC News](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/congress-set-hand-trump-billions-recruit-ice-agents-rcna214990) Friday.
>“The average American probably hasn’t seen an ICE raid in action, but they will if this bill passes,” he added. “It’s going to be everywhere.”
>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.
This is how you get funding to build concentration camps and start the systemic oppression of American citizens too.

>A separate part of the bill allocates $29.9 billion in additional funding for ICE activities, including hiring thousands of new immigration agents and giving them five-figure signing and retention bonuses, as well as for transportation contracts to shuttle migrants between detention centers and out of the country, Migrant Insider reported.
>Customs and Border Protection would get $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).
>These are monumental numbers, particularly considering the year-to-year budgets for ICE and CBP have, to date, been around $10 billion and $18 billion, respectively. (Current immigration and border enforcement funding is itself greater than all other federal law enforcement combined, Bier has noted, and reflects the increasing criminalization of unauthorized immigration, particularly since the 1990s.)
>Elsewhere in Republicans’ bill, $10 billion has been allocated 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.
>This might be used, for example, to reimburse Texas for its Operation Lone Star program, in which billions of state tax dollars have been used to arrest migrants, particularly those attempting to pursue asylum, and transport them to major Democratic-leaning cities like New York and Chicago.
>Bier has predicted that though the bill outlines one-time expenditures on immigration enforcement, future legislators and presidents won’t let them expire, meaning that massively heightened funding could become the norm for federal law enforcement agencies.

Republicans to Obama: „We won’t sign omnibus bills with 20 different subjects, you have to write a clean bill for every topic!“
Republicans to Trump: „Just put your whole wishlist on one bill so we only have to vote the one time“

I blame the DNC for not earning our interest. They could have prevented all this by exciting us.
They would have been infinitely better than a fascist felon insurrectionist.
Sadly, they were they milquetoast and failed to woo us enough.

A strong sense of national identity often tied to a specific race or ethnicity, with an emphasis on national unity and superiority.
Authoritarian leadership:
A single, charismatic leader often revered as infallible, with unquestionable authority.
Suppression of opposition:
Use of violence, intimidation, and propaganda to silence dissent and control information.
National decline narrative:
A belief that the nation is in a state of decline or has been humiliated, often used to rally support for the fascist movement.
Scapegoating:
Blaming specific groups (ethnic, religious, political) for the nation’s problems.
Militarism and violence:
Fascist movements often glorify military power and are willing to use violence to achieve their goals.
Disregard for human rights:
Emphasis on national unity often leads to the suppression of individual rights and freedoms.
Cult of personality: The leader is often presented as a heroic figure, embodying the nation’s spirit and destiny.
Mass mobilization: Fascist movements use rallies, parades, and propaganda to create a sense of mass participation and enthusiasm.
Control of media: Fascist regimes typically seek to control the media to promote their message and suppress dissenting views.
Traditional values: Fascist movements often appeal to traditional values and institutions, while also embracing modern technology.

Lord knows brown shirts can be quite pricey. I fear we’ve reached the point of no return; they have too much money and unfettered power to make it a fair fight.

The MAGA Murder Bill will gut Medicare and Medicaid funding, rip Healthcare away from 16 million Amedicans can cause 50k preventable deaths per year.
While also giving more funding to ICE to drag innocent people from home depot parking lots into unmarked cars and disappear university students who dare to criticize their own government.
This is not „The One Beautiful Bill Act“ the name itself is a form of narcissistic gaslighting.
This is the MAGA Murder Bill, spread the word, always call it the MAGA Murder Bill and then tell people why you call it that when they ask.

Yep. DOGE cut social programs that helped Americans like SBA and VA as well as soft power which allowed US influence abroad without the cost of lives.
That teamed with Trump’s increase in military spending should communicate a clear message: you are paying for yourself to be owned.

This is this generation of Nazis „Enabling act“ that will allow them to take control of every aspect of American life, With their new policy of violating birthright citizenship they can turn anyone they want into an illegal and throw them in prison which will be used to get rid of anyone who resists.
Right now all Americans are German citizens in the late thirties and the Nazis are taking over, Unlike them though we already know what they will do so no-one has the excuse of „I didn’t know“.
This isn’t about politics, Anyone who supports this administration has chosen a side and is also responsible for what crimes they commit against our people.

I cannot believe this issue is not getting more attention. Democrats seem to have focus-grouped their narrative: Republicans are taking health benefits away from the poor to fund tax cuts for the rich. While that’s true, this bill also represents a terrifying scale-up of the militarization of our society. Life will never be the same. We will have 10 times the number of masked, plain clothes thugs patrolling our streets in unmarked vans, brandishing machine guns and arresting whoever they want.
