Senate Reconciliation Bill Immigration Funding Sparks Unprecedented Tech Border War
A leaked Department of Homeland Security memo reveals that $85 billion allocated in the new Senate reconciliation bill for immigration funding will be used to deploy a fleet of AI-powered drone swarms and facial recognition kiosks along the southern border. By 2035, analysts predict biometrics will replace physical IDs for all non-citizens, sparking a bitter legislative battle over privacy rights. The bill’s proponents argue this is the only way to process 2 million annual asylum claims, while critics warn of a “digital iron curtain” that will turn every port of entry into a surveillance checkpoint.
