Trump's Deportation Plan

President Trump's immigration bill proposes a staggering $150 billion over four years for mass deportation, featuring a $46.5 billion border wall and $45 billion for expanding detention facilities. With significant increases in immigration fees, many applicants could feel the financial strain. Meanwhile, the Senate is engaged in heated debates over a similar proposal.
