Rep #HakeemJeffries of NY, the #Democratic leader, just went past the 6-hour mark on his floor speech. He condemned #Republicans for an “all-out assault on law-abiding #immigrant #families,” including #AmericanCitizens, saying it was “unconscionable, unacceptable & it’s un-American.” The #OneBigBeautifulBill includes about $175 billion for the #Trump admin to boost #immigration enforcement & border security.
