President Donald Trump<\/strong> signed the GOP\u2019s massive tax and funding cuts<\/a> bill into law on July 4, meeting his self-imposed deadline<\/a>, in an outdoor ceremony attended by hundreds of supporters and military jets<\/a> flying over the White House.<\/p>\n The newly minted law will fund many of Trump\u2019s domestic policies<\/a>, including his immigration crackdown, resulting in nearly $170 billion to support the administration\u2019s border goals.<\/p>\n The final bill, as detailed<\/a> by NPR, allocates $45 billion for immigration detention centers, around $30 billion to hire more Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for transportation costs, and to maintain ICE facilities.<\/p>\n Additionally, roughly $46.5 billion has been earmarked to complete Trump\u2019s border wall\u2014a campaign promise he\u2019s been repeating<\/a> for nearly a decade\u2014and includes $5 billion for Customs and Border Protection facilities and $10 billion for other border security initiatives. Approximately $13.5 billion will be set aside to reimburse states and local governments for their assistance with immigration and border-related enforcement.<\/p>\n The One Big Beautiful Bill<\/a> Act, which cleared the Senate and House in an expedited push marked by intra-party fighting, includes several provisions aimed at taking additional money<\/a> out of immigrant pockets, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.<\/em> Through cuts to benefits and added or increased fees, immigrants, both documented and not, will be paying a sizable amount of the cost to fund the president\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n Details of the legislation include not allowing children who are US citizens and have parents without legal status to be eligible for the child tax credit\u2014an annual financial break for families to help defray the cost of raising children. The move is estimated to make 2.6 million children ineligible for the $2,200 credit. Young immigrants protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) will also no longer be eligible for subsidies through the Affordable Care Act. Several other groups of immigrants, including visa holders, will now be prohibited from buying insurance through the ACA.<\/p>\n
