S 2: lobbying, campaign donors and results

The bill, briefly

Secure America Act This act provides $70 billion in funding to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through FY2029 for immigration enforcement, border security, and related activities. It is known as a reconciliation bill and includes legislation submitted by certain congressional committees pursuant to provisions in the FY2026 congressional budget resolution ( S. Con. Res. 33 ) that directed the committees to submit legislation to the House or Senate Budget Committee that will increase the deficit. (Reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.) TITLE I--COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS (Sec. 101) This section provides funding for CBP to hire, pay, train, and equip Border Patrol agents and Border Patrol support personnel to conduct functions other than immigration enforcement and customs functions.

Budget/Appropriations

NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that, if passed, will significantly harm millions of hardworking people and families to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice opposed the FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025. This bill made significant cuts to programs that help keep costs down in housing, healthcare, veterans services, seniors services, and more. This bill also shifted significant funding from human needs programs to fund the major expansion of family detention centers and private prisons to cage immigrant families. NETWORK strongly opposes H.R.1, the budget reconciliation bill, because it makes significant cuts to our nation's healthcare programs - MEDICAID and the Affordable Care Act - and food programs - the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - to pay for 4.5 trillion dollars of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and to fund the mass separation of families through detention and deportation. The bill also raises our nation's debt by 3.5 trillion dollars. NETWORK opposed House CR proposal because it did not addres…

NETWORK strongly supports HR 6397, the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, which would seeks to overhaul the U.S. immigration detention system by ending for-profit detention, abolishing mandatory detention, and prohibiting solitary confinement. NETWORK strongly supports S. 3348, the Dream Act, which would federal proposal to provide a path to lawful permanent residency and eventual citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, known as "Dreamers." NETWORK strongly supports S. 455/H.R. 1061, the Sensitive Locations Act, to prohibit immigration enforcement actions in places vital to community life, such as schools, hospitals, courthouses, places of worship, and social service centers.

Immigration

NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that will substantially expand detention and deportation of law-abiding immigrants who contribute to our communities. NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice opposed the FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025. This bill shifted significant funding from human needs programs to fund the major expansion of family detention. NETWORK opposed S. 5, the Laken-Riley Bill. The bill raises serious due process concerns by requiring mandatory detention in cases where people have been accused of theft and other petty crimes. Additional concerns include the guaranteed right to sue for states that disagree with federal immigration policy (including threatening the exclusions of visa to entire countries). NETWORK strongly opposes H.R. 1 for many reasons including spending approximately 900 billion dollars in immigration enforcement, detention and deportation which will separate families and terror law-abiding immigrant communities across the country. NETWORK strongly supports: Protecting Sensitive Locations Act (H.R. 1061) which would prohibit enforcement …
