Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is urging her supporters to recognize the serious implications of President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. It is crucial to understand that this legislation is indeed as stringent on immigration as Trump and his allies have asserted.
“I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE,” she began. “This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion – making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.”
“It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing,” added the prominent congresswoman.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller recently told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that the bill represents “the most robust, comprehensive border security and immigration enforcement package we’ve ever seen. One that will allow us to deport millions upon millions of invaders.”
“To oppose this bill is to support the invasion,” he added.
