I have no access to OPM that I know about, so I can't spend it.  

I am modestly generous with my own money at times.

This is an ad, but comprehensive I think.

Another issue I have with our tax code is that "simplification" is out the door as a concept.

You’ll block individuals but won’t cut a check to Uncle (or Maximum) Sam? Hm.

How much will be saved to offset the budget, by jettisoning freeloaders?

It’s all funny money anyway. 
how many of them are actually free loading? I'm not denying there are some, but I don't think it's a crazy high number dollar total (relative to federal budget) and it's probably a small % of total illegals- I'd imagine 90%+ of them don't get state benefits. And yes, that is a problem that needs to be addressed but $150 BILLION with a B to ICE is flat out nuts. This is more than most countries spend on entire defense budgets.

The #1 thing they needed to do was seal the border up and lock it down and stop the flow of unchecked mass illegal immigration- and they did that. As far as the deportations go- yes people need to be deported but there has got to be a better way than how they are going about it- and I fear throwing ridiculous sums of money at the problem is not the solution. When the US government throws $150 billion at a problem that problem just tends to never get solved and only gets worse and it leaves things sucesptible to rampant waste, fraud, and abuse.

Here are the immigration provisions in Trump's megabill : NPR

Nearly as I can tell, the ICE budget goes from $8 billion a year to $30 billion.  There is $45 billion for increased housing (which seems like a lot).  There is another $70 billion basically for border protection stuff.

I read one target is 3,000 deportations a day, which is about a million a year.

Ted Cruz is 100000% on the Epstein Mossad blackmail tapes banging kids. his devotion to Israel is just weird as absolute fck- and it has to go beyond AIPAC giving him $2 million. we know he is a dumb ass and a whore for sale with zero principle or moral character- but this is just.....fcking bizarre.

I must be the "one of us who sees the plight of the poor on a daily basis".  Maybe there are some others,  but you claim there is only one of us.

I also make an effort to help.
