A few billion here. a few billion there of taxpayer dollars. that is OK. After all. Republicans are not proposing this bill to solve any problem within our immigration system. this Donald Trump Act was designed to demonize immigrants and spread the myth that they are criminals and threats to the public. It promotes discrimination and bias. Decadesdecadesof research demonstrate that immigrants are less likely to commit serious crimes or be jailed than nativeborn individuals. and high rates of immigration are associated with lower rates of violent crime. not higher. So the notion that The Donald Trump Act is necessary to protect Americans from violent criminals is preposterous. Violent gun murders are a tragedy our Nation faces far too often.
