Trump says he needs more money to carry out mass deportations, and the legislation would make sure he has it. New funding would support building more of the wall along the southern border, adding more border surveillance and constructing more prisons,

Republicans are rushing to pass President Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ and get the legislation to Trump’s desk by the self-imposed July 4 deadline.
