A look at how Trump’s big bill could change the US immigration system
- The House and Senate are debating immigration bills in 2025 that propose major funding increases and system overhauls amid unrest in Los Angeles.
- These bills arise after illegal border crossings plunged since January 2025 and include controversial measures like suspending asylum and raising immigration fees sharply.
- Key provisions allocate $45 billion to expand detention facilities, $1.25 billion to reduce the immigration court backlog, and expand ICE detention capacity from 41,000 to 100,000 beds.
- Greg Chen called the funding boost "a significant increase" and urgently needed, while Stephen Miller called the bill the "most essential piece of legislation" currently considered.
- If enacted, the bills would expand enforcement and detention networks substantially but also impose high fees on immigration applications, potentially increasing costs for legal immigrants.
