After keeping the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shut down for months because they refuse to enact reforms for ICE and Border Patrol that Americans want, Republicans are now using the budget reconciliation process to shower even more taxpayer funding on these unaccountable agencies.
Republicans want to give ICE and Border Patrol up to $140 BILLION more to fund their concentration camps and militarized deployments to US cities.
That’s all on top of the $170 billion Republicans pumped into these agencies in last year’s Big Ugly Bill that was paid for by cutting Medicaid and SNAP.
Email your representative today and urge them to vote NO on the reconciliation budget resolution that will shovel more taxpayer dollars to ICE and Border Patrol.
Dear Representative,
I’m writing to urge you to vote NO on the reconciliation budget resolution and any amendments that will shovel more taxpayer dollars to ICE and Border Patrol. Republicans already voted to give them the budget of a small army last year, and now I see they are trying to use the reconciliation process to give these agencies billions more.
Enough. Let’s focus on funding healthcare and housing instead of shoveling even more money to these out of control agencies. I urge you to oppose this reconciliation legislation.
