Reps. Tom McClintock and Mario Diaz-Balart have introduced H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act. This legislation, if passed, would help to end the crisis at the U.S. – Mexico border. This legislation would:

Co-sponsor H.R. 1100 to end the visa lottery!
Fifty-two percent of all lottery visas have been awarded to Europeans, who represent 56 percent of all immigrants since 1820, dispelling the notion that true diversity was the goal of the lottery.

I’m angry that U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh incorrectly claimed that “One of the biggest threats to our economy is not inflation or wage growth, it’s lack of workers. And immigration reform is a key to that.”
