Immigration-driven population growth like the migrant crisis can exacerbate the effects of extreme weather events, with the stakes (e.g., tax dollars, property, and lives) getting higher every year.

For example: The urban heat island effect, where the sprawl of asphalt, concrete, buildings required to support a growing population — plus waste heat from motor vehicles — increases the ambient temperatures in growing cities. 41 million people live in a census tract with an urban heat index of 8 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

Attach The Secure the Border Act to the continuing resolution or send the bill on its own to Resident Biden to sign.

P.S. Secure our borders. Stop the influx of immigrants and refugees. Implement the Congressionally-mandated biometric entry/exit system. Evict those here illegally. End chain migration. End birthright citizenship. End the visa lottery. End amnesty. End asylum. End catch-and-release. Make E-Verify mandatory. And more! Illegal immigration is a weapon of mass destruction!
