A concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.
This measure establishes a ten-year federal budget framework beginning in 2026, projecting $5.5 trillion in outlays and a $1.3 trillion deficit in its first year while allowing the national debt to reach nearly $50 trillion by 2035. It orders congressional committees to draft fast-track legislation allocating up to $70 billion toward border security and immigration enforcement. Additionally, it creates special budget allowances for operations aimed at arresting, detaining, and deporting undocumented immigrants convicted of serious violent crimes, provided those initiatives are paid for without increasing the deficit.
