Sign H.R. 2 into law to end the border crisis
The ongoing crisis at the U.S. - Mexico border will not end unless Congress takes steps to change the Biden administration’s immigration and border policies. It’s clear that passing additional funding without implementing policy changes will only fuel the administration’s catch-and-release policies. Congress must get H.R. 2 signed into law to end the border crisis. To refresh your memory, H.R. 2 would:

Mandate E-Verify
Requiring employers to run new hires through the Chamber of Commerce-supported E-Verify system, would gently move illegal aliens out of U.S. jobs. Over time, more than 7 million illegal aliens in non-agricultural jobs would be replaced by unemployed Americans and legal immigrants. While not solving America’s unemployment or illegal immigration problems, mandatory E-Verify would certainly lessen their severity.

End birthright citizenship
8 U.S.C. 1401 currently says that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth.” Clearly, the Constitution does not need to be changed in order to prevent the children of illegal economic migrants from receiving birthright citizenship; a simple piece of legislation will do.

Conserve farmland

America’s biodiversity loss
I am concerned about America’s persistent biodiversity loss, which is a direct result of population growth. Despite all our technological advances, we are completely dependent on healthy ecosystems for our water, food, medicines, clothes, fuel, shelter, energy, and more.

Crime rates don’t tell the full story
While open borders advocates maintain that illegal aliens are less likely to commit a crime, this statistic — while disingenuous bordering on false due the fact that many law enforcement encounters do not inquire or report about the immigration status of criminals — also masks another truth: increasing the number of potential illegal alien criminals entering the country will increase the number of Americans and legal immigrants impacted by it.

America’s wildlife can’t compete with high immigration. Support H.R. 7833
Even though we just had another Earth Day celebration, America still suffers from a “biodiversity crisis.” The list of endangered and threatened species (now over 1,300) gets bigger our nation loses about 1.5 million acres of natural lands every year because unsustainable population growth demands evermore agriculture, energy development, and housing sprawl. As a result, critical wildlife habitat areas are destroyed and/or disconnected.
