Today I was asked what I understood about the steps you have to take to get money for ICE in the budget. Here’s my response:
The first step (which is also really easy) is talking to the Senators and the Representatives themselves to make sure that they are on our side. You could say that the other first step is to make sponsors for our bill. Then the next step is to talk with the most important committee which is the Ways and Means committee who are in charge of the money. Then the next step is to contact any one you know who could be helpful by calling up their own Senator and Rep. The last step is to just wait to find out the answer of the outcome. The Representatives vote first and now it is the Senators time.
