The United States is a nation of immigrants, but the attacks on immigrants and the anti-immigrant provisions in the Big Brutal Bill are anything but welcoming.

The budget bill supercharges efforts to terrorize communities by allocating $100 billion for ICE through 2029—including $45 billion for detention facilities and $14 billion for deportation operations—and increases fees for asylum seekers.¹

It also denies Medicare to immigrants here legally, who paid Medicare taxes for a decade or more, and by law were promised they could receive Medicare benefits. This bill breaks this promise.

These attacks on our communities cannot stand. We’re working with our immigration partners and allies in Congress to do everything we can to protect immigrant communities, but we need your support.

This 4th of July weekend, and every day, we’re demanding the rights of all people. Donate $4 today.

DONATE $4 TODAYBreaking a longstanding bipartisan tradition, this budget bars lawfully present refugees, asylees, victims of trafficking and domestic violence, and others from receiving SNAP and Medicaid along with Medicare, ACA marketplace coverage, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), breaking with guidelines dating from 1996.²

This bill takes from the poor to give to the wealthy.

While this bill increases the Child Tax Credit, 17 million kids would not get the full CTC because their families make TOO LITTLE money―an average of $23,000 a year.³ And over 2.6 million citizen children lose the CTC because they don’t have at least one parent with a SSN.⁴ At the same time, the bill repeals tighter corporate tax deduction regulations, allowing corporations to deduct more and pay less in taxes—this is after their corporate tax rate was already cut from 35% to 21% in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.⁵

Our society cannot continue to give to the wealthy while taking from the poor. We must work towards an economy and society that benefits all. Donate $4 this 4th of July weekend to power our movement for justice and dignity for all.
