illegal immigration

Please cosponsor H.R. 4644 to end the OPT program

The Optional Practical Training (OPT) program for foreign graduates of American universities harms all American and legal immigrant graduates, but it harms STEM graduates the most. Currently, all foreign graduates are eligible for a 12-month OPT visa to work in their fields of study after graduation. To make matters much worse, foreign STEM graduates are eligible for an additional 24-month OPT visa.

DACA ruling should not distract you from the historic border crisis

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.

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.
