Representative Jay Obernolte

Support H.R. 38

Constitutional rights do not end at a state border, and states are required to give full faith and credit to legal permits from other states.

A devastating blow to our solvency

Details about the huge amnesty to be included in the budget reconciliation bill are out, after being passed by the House Judiciary Committee. It’s every bit as bad as I feared, including amnesty for most of the illegal aliens in the U.S.

Oppose the immigration enforcement freeze

In addition to amnestying millions of illegal aliens and drastically increasing legal immigration levels, the Democrats’ budget reconciliation amnesty will halt virtually all ICE interior enforcement for at least one year. Any alien in removal proceedings or subject to removal or voluntary departure orders will be allowed to apply for amnesty or will be assumed to qualify for an amnesty. This means that ICE must assume that nearly every illegal alien qualifies for the amnesty and the agency will be unable to apprehend illegal aliens and keep our nation safe.

Oppose Democrats’ budget reconciliation amnesty

The Democrats’ budget reconciliation amnesty shows an abject disregard for the plight of American workers and the safety and security of our nation. Border Patrol and CPB agents need additional resources to deal with the influx of illegal economic migrants. Instead, the Democrats have chosen to use the budget reconciliation process to amnesty millions of illegal aliens, thereby exacerbating the border crisis and making it even more difficult to secure the border.

Stop the Democrats’ heinous amnesty bill

Why are Democrats trying to force a massive amnesty on the American people when there is a crisis at the border and Americans are still out of work and suffering due to the COVID-19 pandemic? The Democrats’ plans include: the DACA and DREAM amnesties, the essential worker amnesty, the TPS amnesty, and the DED amnesty. Millions of Americans are out of work and amnestying more than 8 million illegal aliens will only make it more difficult for them to find work.

Oppose amnesty in the budget framework

I vehemently oppose adding an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens in budget reconciliation.
