Breitbart: House GOP Budget Billions for Trump Border and Immigration Policies
The House Budget Committee has responded to OMB Director Russ Vought's request for $175 billion for border and immigration enforcement, marking a significant shift in policy under President Trump. The committee passed a resolution that includes substantial funding for border security alongside $2 trillion in spending cuts.

Breitbart: Trump Admin Reforms ‘Unaccompanied Alien Children' Policy to Prevent Trafficking
The Trump administration has reformed the 2008 "Unaccompanied Alien Children" (UAC) program to reduce migrant smuggling and labor trafficking. New verification processes for sponsors aim to deter illegal migrants from using the program to bring their children to the U.S., potentially decreasing exploitation and trafficking.
Pro-migration groups criticize these reforms, claiming they hinder family reunification and could lead to longer stays in government custody for children. The changes come amid ongoing debates about immigration enforcement and the impact of previous policies that allowed significant numbers of young migrants to enter the U.S.
