The United States House of Representatives approved a $92 billion bill mandating GPS tracking for non-detained aliens. This move could spike Michael Burry‘s $5 million bet on Geo Group Inc (NYSE: GEO), a dominant GPS tracking device company.
As reported by the “Michael Burry Stock Tracker” account on X (Twitter) on November 1, the bill approval is bullish news for the GPS tracking sector. Notably, the Geo Group controls 87% of this sector and will absorb the largest share of the U.S. government’s new expenses.
Notably, non-detained aliens, individuals in the U.S. without documentation but not in custody, will now require mandatory GPS tracking, which will be purchased within the pre-approved budget of $92 billion.

Moreover, the bill comes amid a surge in illegal immigration in the country. In this context, the well-known short-seller and editor of Citron Research, Andrew Left, shows a bullish bias towards GEO.
Michael Burry is another relevant financial personality who bets on an increased performance for the GPS-leading company. Burry reportedly holds a $5 million position in GEO stocks.
