ABC news again not reporting news. I have to give them credit where credit is due. They never give up on their spin. Really it should read: ABC to report the "news" to ensure their narrative aligns with their political spin of daily events.

Are some of the small businesses the ones selling all the cheap Chinese made trinkets on eBay and Amazon? I can definitely see their sales business being impacted by tariffs.

Ideally, the tariffs should go away. It's a tool to alter behavior of countries we trade with and to alter the behavior of companies that favor cheap labor in other countries then import their product to the USA. The money coming in should only be seen as a cherry on top of a current strategy to better position the USA (America First).

BREAKING: @FDRLST has obtained the most recent 266-page tranche of declassified FBI documents.

Because we believe in the right of the public to access and analyze these documents in their entirety, we are making the entire file available to everybody.

Yeah, and some large businesses sell more expensive garbage, so?.

Bottom line without covering for Dear Leader, he looks like a fucking idiot who doesnt care about small business and increasingly doesnt understand the economy

Uh, Ok
 
So um,

1- If its secure and nobody is getting in, why exactly did we need another $165 Billion to secure it?

2- What happened to mass deportations? (Kinda like the Ft Knox Audit? and a couple dozen more promises everyone seems to have forgotten)

Suckers

Nice try, Except they aren't chasing illegals in DC nor is it ICE (two completely different subjects)

I have no problem with ICE doing what they need to do, or paying for it, which we did

===========

“President Trump’s signing the One Big Beautiful Bill is a win for law and order and the safety and security of the American people,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “This $165 billion in funding will help the Department of Homeland Security and our brave law enforcement further deliver on President Trump’s mandate to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens and MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!”

In June, Secretary Noem

laid out the national security wins that the BBB secures for the American people. The highlights include:

  • $46.5 billion to complete construction of the border wall.
  • $14.4 billion for removal transportation.
  • $12 billion in state reimbursements for states that fought against the Biden administration’s open border.
  • $4.1 billion to hire additional CBP personnel, including 3,000 more customs officers and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents.
  • $3.2 billion for new technology and $2.7 billion for new cutting-edge border surveillance.
  • $855 million to expand Customs and Border Protection’s vehicle fleet.
  • The law will also provide ICE with the funding to hire 10,000 new agents, which would allow the rate of deportations to reach as high as 1 million per year. ICE currently has 20,000 law enforcement and support personnel across 400 offices.
  • The BBB provides ICE with enough detention capacity to maintain an average daily population of 100,000 illegal aliens and secures 80,000 new ICE beds.
  • The Big Beautiful Bill will also fully fund ICE’s 287(g) program, which empowers state and local law enforcement to assist federal immigration officers.
  • Under the law, ICE and Border Patrol agents will also receive a $10,000 bonus for the next four years.
The BBB also bolsters the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) with the following:

  • $14.1 billion for USCG cutters.
  • $3.7 billion for USCG aircraft.
  • $6 billion for USCG infrastructure.
