So basically a bunch of money to build Concentration camps, gas chambers, Gestapo, and other imprisoments. While our borders are still open...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Senate on Thursday approved a wide-ranging $42.9 billion measure to pay for improving U.S. border security, clamp down on illegal immigration and beef up cyber security in fiscal 2010.

Debate over the bills offered insight into deep divisions over how to address illegal immigration into the United States, beef up security on the U.S. borders, and what to do with the estimated 12 million people in the country illegally.
The Senate measure provides $10.1 billion for customs and border protection, including $800 million for bolstering security along the U.S. border with Mexico...
The Senate agreed to several amendments, including one that would block the release of photographs of abuse of detainees by U.S. personnel. The American Civil Liberties Union has sued to make the photos public.

Two quick things:
1). Your link in your post says millions but that actual article says billions.
2).

It's three in the morning so maybe I'm missing something but the article actually mentions this is about securing the border:

I was thinking maybe the biggest chunk of that would be going to cyber security but the article looks like 'only' $400 million will be going towards that.
Do you think they are being untruthful with where the money is actually going? Or that whatever holding facilities for illegals is just a cover to contain American citizens? Just curious to hear your thoughts. This actually seems like they're finally doing something about immigration, securing the border, adding fencing, and E-Verify.
What does worry me is this, though:
The Senate agreed to several amendments, including one that would block the release of photographs of abuse of detainees by U.S. personnel. The American Civil Liberties Union has sued to make the photos public.
I don't agree with that. As nice as it would be to get the illegals caught and deported, I don't want them to suffer abuse.
