Catholic bishops, Evangelical Latino group oppose Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill

[Michie]

A coalition of Catholic bishops and Evangelical Latino leaders has formally opposed President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” warning that its provisions on immigration and artificial intelligence threaten both moral values and civil liberties.

In a joint letter to the U.S. Senate, the faith leaders called on lawmakers to reject the legislation, citing its potential to harm immigrant families, weaken poverty assistance programs and erode states’ rights.

Signed by more than 40 senior religious figures, including Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington, D.C., and the Rev. Gabriel Salguero of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition, the letter criticizes the bill’s allocation of billions for a nationwide deportation campaign and expansion of border wall infrastructure.

As somebody that is very familiar with using AI, the ban on laws regulating AI is troubling, and irresponsible. AI offers the potential for a great deal of benefits, but it also carries significant risks of misuse or exploitation. The Biden administration was working on conservative, prudential policies to regulate AI without unduely stiffling innovation, but it seems like current Republicans favor a "wild west" atmosphere, and I'm afraid if recent past technology revolutions are anything to go by ( like the Internet, which also was given a laissez-faire treatment), that could have dire consequences for our wellbeing.
