The US House of Representatives recently passed the "One Big Beautiful Bill," a sweeping piece of legislation poised to reshape immigration policies and other aspects of American life. The bill, passed on May 22nd, 2025, has sparked considerable debate. One key provision is the increase in fees for asylum applications and work permit renewals, potentially creating financial hardship for many immigrants. "The bill's impact on immigrants will be significant," comments Ukrainian immigrant and social media commentator, Ukrainian in the USA. Other provisions include changes to programs such as SNAP and Medicaid, potentially affecting access for vulnerable groups. The bill also allocates substantial funds to border security and defense, including the construction of a border wall and the hiring of additional border patrol officers. While the bill is currently awaiting Senate approval, its passage in the House signals a major shift in US policy. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the bill's final form and its lasting impact on the nation.
