US Republicans have proposed $80 billion in spending to deport and imprison immigrants. Including $45 billion for detention centers. $45 billion can build a lot of concentration camps.

Jesus Christ this is fucked.
The MAXIMUM estimates at the number of folks in the US illegally is below 20 million. So this bill is proposing that we spend over $4,000 per person and only to cover the next 4 years.
I'm curious about section 287(g) is of the immigration and nationalities act is - the fact that it's not named is a bit concerning.
$20 million to "check minors for gang tattoos" is fucking gross... oh, wait it's actually $40 million bc we have two departments doing it.
