Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Appropriates $25 billion for construction of a physical barrier on the U.S.–Mexico southern land border. Tightens tax-credit eligibility by requiring Social Security numbers for child tax credit, EITC, and education credits, and adds a $300 fee per ITIN on U.S. resident returns.
Liberals emphasize harm to mixed-status families and citizen children
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a substantive policy change that is specific in its statutory amendments and appropriation amount but incomplete in implementation, fiscal, and oversight scaffolding.

Requires SSA verification of SSNs and mandates E-Verify use for certain federally funded benefits and housing programs, with rulemaking duties for agencies.
Ambitious, ideologically charged package with major spending and restrictive offsets; historically such comprehensive immigration measures rarely pass without broader dealmaking.

Likely strongly opposed.
The bill funds a large border wall and restricts benefits access through SSN requirements, ITIN fees, and expanded E-Verify, which could harm immigrant families and citizen children in mixed-status households.
Mixed view: supports reasonable border security but worries about costs, administrative feasibility, and collateral harm.
Sees value in fiscal offsets but is concerned about implementation, legal risk, and effects on eligible citizens and state agencies.
Likely broadly supportive.
The bill funds a border wall, strengthens penalties for illegal entry and overstays, and tightens eligibility for taxpayer-funded benefits, aligning with priorities of enforcement and protecting taxpayer resources.
