Vote No on The Secure America Act

I’m a constituent urging you to vote NO on S. 2, the Secure America Act. The Senate bill would provide about $70 billion in additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol over the next three years, dramatically expanding enforcement operations through the rest of President Trump’s term. At a time when families are worried about costs, healthcare, and economic stability, Congress should not approve a massive new enforcement blank check without stronger guardrails, oversight, and accountability. This bill is especially troubling because it moved forward without removing the administration’s “anti-weaponization” fund, a roughly $1.8 billion pool that has raised bipartisan concern about the misuse of taxpayer dollars for politically connected claims. Even if members disagree on immigration policy, Congress should be able to agree that federal money must not be used in ways that invite political favoritism or reward allies of any administration. A vote for S. 2 would also deepen serious due process and civil liberties concerns. Expanding detention, raids, and removals at this scale without meaningful protections increases the risk of wrongful targeting, family separation, and abuse of power. Members who believe in limited government should not support unchecked enforcement authority with too little transparency and too few protections for constitutional rights. If Congress wants to address immigration seriously, it should pursue reforms that improve border management, reduce backlogs, and strengthen lawful, orderly processes. S. 2 does not do that. It prioritizes political theater and unchecked spending over durable solutions. Please vote NO on S. 2 and oppose any effort to rush it through the House without full scrutiny.
