The bill delivers $1.6 trillion in savings, which is the largest spending reduction in a generation, secures our borders, and implements commonsense policies to right-size federal programs.\n\n\u201cThis bill is a strong conservative work product, and one that is long overdue,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cIt delivers a historic spending reduction and roots out abuse of federal programs. These changes are a meaningful attempt to turn our fiscal house in the right direction.\u201d\n\nThe three most important parts of the package:\n\nSecures our borders.\n\nIt will complete 701 miles of primary walls, 900 miles of river barriers, 629 miles of secondary barriers, replace 141 miles of vehicle and pedestrian barriers, and strengthen border surveillance technology.\n\nIt funds \u201cRemain in Mexico\u201d enforcement and at least one million annual removals of illegal aliens, ensuring immigrants come to the U.S. the right way.\n\nHires thousands of Border Patrol and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel to carry out the mission.\n\nAvoids a historic tax hike for most Americans and businesses.\n\nWithout extending current tax rates, the average taxpayer in South Dakota would see a 25% tax hike if the Trump Tax Cuts expire.\n\nWithout extending current tax rates, a family of four making $71,810, the median income in South Dakota, would see a $1,431 tax increase if the Trump Tax Cuts expire. This is worth about seven weeks of groceries to a typical family of four in the region.\n\nWithout extending current tax rates, 101,690 South Dakota families would see their household\u2019s Child Tax Credit cut in half.\n\nWithout extending current tax rates, 94% of South Dakota taxpayers would see their guaranteed deduction slashed in half.\n\nWithout extending current tax rates, the National Association of Manufacturers expects South Dakota would lose 17,000 jobs, $1.5 billion lost wages, and $3.1 billion lost economic output.\n\nImplements commonsense policies to right-size federal programsand decrease spending.\n\nIt saves $1.6 trillion over 10 years, the largest spending reduction in a generation.\n\nIt removes 1.4 million illegal immigrants from Medicaid, protecting the program for the neediest Americans.\n\nIt removes SNAP eligibility for illegal immigrants, ensuring Americans who need assistance the most receive it.\n\nIt enforces work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents who receive SNAP or Medicaid benefits, helping to lift them out of poverty. These work requirements will not affect pregnant women, seniors, those with disabilities, or those with young children at home.\n\nLinked here is an X thread of 32 conservative wins included in the bill.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T00:49:36Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://dustyjohnson.house.gov/media/press-releases/johnson-house-reconciliation-package-one-big-beautiful-bill-begins-turn-dcs"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8827401325106621, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
