illegal immigration – Page 2

2 million encounters on southern border this year. Secure the border.

The Biden-Harris “root cause” migration plan has failed, as is documented in The Washington Post column “U.S. arrests along Mexico border top 2 million a year for first time” that was published this month.

Lower immigration rates will reduce population growth and save nature.

I believe in welcoming immigrants to America, and having a humane immigration system that respects the dignity of every person. However, I’m concerned about how big our population will grow and, in turn, the fate of our nation’s wilderness areas.

Back the Freedom Caucus’ border plan!

It is incredibly disappointing that the White House has taken no steps to address the Biden Border Crisis. The situation at the border represents a threat to our national security, and you and your fellow Republicans need to keep it front and center.

Democratic cities are being overwhelmed by border surge

New York City Mayor Adams is overwhelmed by busloads of migrants coming from the border. Cities closer to the border have been overwhelmed for months. There is nothing “compassionate” about facilitating a border crisis. End asylum fraud, catch and release, and the abuse of parole authority. Reinstate and mandate the Migration Protection Protocols program.

Immigration hurts minority workers, especially American descendants of slavery

I’m deeply concerned that legislators are waging an immigration offensive that will worsen the job prospects for American descendants of slaves, working class Americans, and U.S.-born STEM professionals. Please make helping the American middle-class your primary legislative focus. More immigration means fewer jobs for the American citizens that need them the most.

I’m glad you support mandatory E-Verify

H.R. 78, the Legal Workforce Act would, within three years, require all employers to run new hires through the E-Verify system. Isn’t this great news? Instead of unscrupulous employers being able to drive down wages and take advantage of illegal aliens, they will now be obliged to hire unemployed Americans and legal immigrants.
