House Passes Budget Framework for $70B Immigration Enforcement Boost

WASHINGTON – The House of Representatives passed a budget framework Wednesday that could clear the path for a massive $70 billion increase in immigration enforcement funding over the next three years.

The budget outline, approved by lawmakers, would enable Congress to move forward with deliberating on the significant boost in resources for federal immigration agents and enforcement operations.

The three-year spending plan represents a substantial potential investment in border security and immigration enforcement activities across the country.
