Trump’s ‘big, beautiful’ bill would make immigration to U.S. more expensive and put $150 billion into deportation efforts

Former President Trump is pushing a new immigration bill that would significantly hike fees for legal immigration and funnel a staggering $150 billion into deportation efforts. The proposal aims to beef up law enforcement and detention infrastructure, potentially overhauling how the U.S. handles immigration—making it pricier to come legally and far tougher to stay illegally.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another policy tweak—it’s a massive financial and logistical shift that could make legal immigration a luxury while aggressively ramping up deportations. For immigrants, businesses relying on foreign labor, and advocates, this could mean higher barriers and a more militarized system. Whether you see it as necessary enforcement or overreach, it’s a story that’ll shape lives and elections.
