A joint assertion was additionally launched by Speaker Johnson, together with GOP Majority Whip Steve Scalise and Consultant Elise Stefanik, denouncing the Senate immigration invoice for its incapability to safe the border and its potential to encourage unlawful immigration.
Home Republicans oppose the Senate immigration invoice as a result of it fails in each coverage space wanted to safe our border and would really incentivize extra unlawful immigration.
Amongst its many flaws, the invoice expands work authorizations for unlawful aliens whereas failing to incorporate important asylum reforms. Even worse, its language permitting illegals to be ‘launched from bodily custody’ would successfully endorse the Biden ‘catch and launch’ coverage.
The so-called ‘shutdown’ authority within the invoice is something however, riddled with loopholes that grant far an excessive amount of discretionary authority to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas – who has confirmed he’ll exploit each measure attainable, in defiance of the legislation, to maintain the border open.
The invoice additionally fails to adequately cease the President’s abuse of parole authority and supplies for taxpayer funds to fly and home unlawful immigrants in accommodations via the FEMA Shelter and Companies Program.
As a result of President Biden has refused to make the most of his broad govt authority to finish the border disaster that he has created, the Home led 9 months in the past with the passage of the Safe the Border Act (H.R. 2). That invoice accommodates the required parts to really stem the circulation of illegals and finish the current disaster. The Senate should take it up instantly.
America’s sovereignty is at stake.
Any consideration of this Senate invoice in its present kind is a waste of time. It’s DEAD on arrival within the Home. We encourage the U.S. Senate to reject it.
