<p>With the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Republicans just delivered record funding to secure our border and support our federal law enforcement agents, which will make every American safer.</p>
<p>This law paves the way for a brighter, safer, and stronger future for every American. Here’s how you will benefit.</p>
<p>First, it makes permanent the largest tax cut in history for middle- and working-class families, reduces costs by unleashing American energy, and rebuilds our military to outpace and dominate 21<sup>st </sup>century challenges.</p>
<p>But that’s not all.</p>
<p>Importantly, the One Big Beautiful Bill will restore order and strengthen border security after 10.5 million illegal immigrants flooded the United States under President Joe Biden and the Democrats. For four years, a slow-motion invasion of our nation drove up medical and insurance costs for Americans, as well as criminal activity in our communities.</p>
<p>With tragic stories of violent illegal aliens committing heinous crimes against innocent Americans, it’s no wonder <a href="https://apnews.com/article/immigration-poll-deportation-trump-border-security-40b2a28e34f8d0c76b4a6589f3db1ba3" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://apnews.com/article/immigration-poll-deportation-trump-border-security-40b2a28e34f8d0c76b4a6589f3db1ba3&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1752789380627000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1-bVazWRwDe1J3g9kRdwob">82% of voters</a> said that increasing security at the border should be a high or moderate priority.</p>
<p>For instance, in Arkansas, Jennifer Ann Morton, a nurse in Little Rock, was tragically killed by an illegal immigrant who was driving while drunk. In Michigan, Ruby Garcia was just 25 years old when she was shot to death by an illegal immigrant and left on the side of a highway. We owe it to the memory of these innocent Americans to do all we can to prevent senseless, horrific crimes from happening again.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans have made it a priority to close the border, stop the invasion, and enforce the law without hesitation. Since taking office earlier this year, Trump has deported hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, designated ruthless gangs — such as Tren de Aragua and MS-13 — as foreign terrorist organizations, and resumed border wall construction.</p>
<p>Nationwide encounters of illegal immigrants are at the lowest ever recorded, and not one illegal immigrant was released into our country over the past two months. Compare this to the height of the invasion under Joe Biden, which saw nearly <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/07/extraordinary-president-trump-drives-illegal-border-crossings-to-a-new-historic-low/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/07/extraordinary-president-trump-drives-illegal-border-crossings-to-a-new-historic-low/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1752789380627000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1_9QpUPXMI-nhgbJf6ukTA">10,000 unvetted migrants</a> enter the United States every day.</p>
<p>And this new law builds on these accomplishments.</p>
<p>The One Big Beautiful Bill will ensure that we can finish what we started. It is a major win for the American people that provides law enforcement with the tools, resources, and training needed to curb illegal immigration and secure the border.</p>
<p>For example, the law provides $46.5 billion to finish the construction of the border wall and improve other related infrastructure. An additional $6 billion will also be used to heighten surveillance at the border for various operations. This includes combating the scourge of illicit drug trafficking that has gripped, devastated, and destroyed far too many American lives and families. This means you won’t need to worry about tens of thousands of illegal aliens crossing the border each day — including many on the terror watch list.</p>
<p>The law also provides essential funding to hire, train, and give bonuses to Border Patrol agents, Air and Marine agents, and field support personnel. These brave Americans put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe; they deserve to have what they need to succeed and to be recognized for their work.</p>
<p>The law also allocates $10 billion to the Department of Homeland Security. An additional $45 billion will be used to expand detention capacity for illegal aliens taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. This is critical, given that <a href="https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1942940878244282615" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1942940878244282615&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1752789380627000&amp;usg=AOvVaw19kLgMGBG55QCQX96ome9w">70%</a> of individuals arrested by ICE during the Trump administration have had criminal convictions or have pending charges, including criminals with aggravated assault, rape, and murder charges.</p>
<p>Thanks to Joe Biden’s border crisis, every state is now a border state. Across America, ICE agents—working in tandem with the FBI and state and local law enforcement — are doing excellent work enforcing immigration laws and keeping our communities safe. Since President Trump took office, ICE agents in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/27/us/ice-arrests-trump.html?smid=url-share&amp;rsrc=deeplink#ice_arrests_Arkansas" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/27/us/ice-arrests-trump.html?smid%3Durl-share%26rsrc%3Ddeeplink%23ice_arrests_Arkansas&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1752789380627000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0pnQZ_H2VRZy5mfYzLy4_r">Arkansas</a> have increased arrests by 176% and by 154% in<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/27/us/ice-arrests-trump.html?smid=url-share&amp;rsrc=deeplink#ice_arrests_Michigan" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/27/us/ice-arrests-trump.html?smid%3Durl-share%26rsrc%3Ddeeplink%23ice_arrests_Michigan&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1752789380627000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2ZHc3yXOw0xZlTeMsFvR_K"> Michigan</a> compared to 2024. This law will give these agents the resources they need to continue their critical work.</p>
<p>As President Trump said before signing the once-in-a-generation legislation into law on Independence Day, “The American people gave us a historic mandate in November. … We made promises, and it’s really promises made, promises kept, and we’ve kept them. This is a triumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy.”</p>
<p>He’s absolutely right. The success of the One Big Beautiful Bill is proof that President Trump and Republicans in Congress are keeping our promises.</p>
<p>The provisions in this law that secure our borders and halt illegal immigration will advance and augment American strength, prosperity, and security for generations to come.</p>
