H.R. 1 Is The Strongest Border And Immigration Enforcement Bill Ever

July 2, 2025, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement in support of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and its $170 billion for border and immigration enforcement provisions:

“H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, is by far the strongest border and immigration enforcement bill ever in the history of America, with $170 billion of border and immigration enforcement provisions. It includes some $46 billion to finish the border wall, $45 billion for new immigration detention centers that can deal with 116,000 detainees, enabling President Donald Trump to keep his and Congressional Republicans’ promise to engage in the largest deportation operation ever. There will be 10,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, and $10,000 signing bonuses for Border Patrol agents as well. Another $1 billion goes to the Department of Defense for border security, too, and $10 billion for states to assist federal immigration enforcement efforts. With these provisions and more, including removing 1.4 million illegal aliens from Medicaid and other public services, President Trump once and for all will be able to permanently secure America’s southern border and deport 1 million or more illegal aliens every year after there were more than 10 million border encounters under former President Joe Biden’s disastrous administration.

“And yet I’m seeing conservatives say that the bill is spending too much and adding to deficit or complaining about the floor procedure. Are they kidding? Do they want America to continue to be overrun every time there is a Democrat in the White House, with the goal of enfranchising tens of millions of people who should never have been here in the first place to create one-party rule? Where is their urgency?

“There will never be a better opportunity to put America first on the border and immigration. 77 million Americans swept President Trump and Republicans back into power largely on the promise that they would secure the border and boost immigration enforcement. This bill does all that and more, will enhance our national security and guarantee that never again will we have a border crisis. No other president would have ever presented such legislation, let alone be in a position to actually pass it. For any Republican who ever promised to deal with the border and illegal immigration, this bill is more than they could have ever dreamed of. Maybe it’s so good they’re spoiled now and think they can make it perfect. It doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to get done, and then we can build on with next year’s budget. Keep going! Great work. Pedal to the metal, and of course there’s more to be done. This is the culmination of all the hard work done by the House and Senate and is legislation the American people will be proud of. Now it is finally the time to secure the border, tell illegal aliens hell no and put America first.”
