SECURE AMERICA

The United States Senate is debating a bill.
It is called the Secure America Act.
It costs roughly 70 billion dollars.
It funds ICE. It funds border patrol.
It funds the Department of Homeland Security through 2029.
It also, until very recently, included money for security at Trump's ballroom. Republicans quietly removed that part before the vote.
Nobody explained why it was in there in the first place.
Securing America. And the Ballroom.
70 billion dollars is a large number.
Switzerland's entire federal budget is around 85 billion.
For comparison.
The bill passed its procedural vote along party lines.
53 to 46.
One senator did not vote.
America is being secured.
The ballroom, for now, pays its own way.
What Security Means
The Declaration of Independence was written by men who had just fought a war for freedom. They knew what security meant. They also knew what it cost — not in dollars, but in principle.
They wrote that governments exist to protect the rights of the people.
All the people.
Not just the ones with the right papers.
Not just the ones with a ballroom.
