Immigration Bills

The "Border Safety and Security Act of 2023" would give the Sec. of DHS the authority to suspend the entry of illegal aliens to achieve operational control of the border during a crisis or surge. Additionally, H.R. 29 requires the Secretary to stop entries if DHS cannot return them to the country they entered through (like Remain in Mexico), or detain aliens until their hearings. Finally, H.R. 29 allows states and municipalities to sue the administration for not following the required suspension mentioned above.

H.R. 85 would grant jurisdiction over immigration cases brought by aliens challenging removal or other action under the Immigration and Nationality Act exclusively to the D.C. District Court - allowing the development of immigration expertise in a single court.

The "Voter Integrity Protection Act" would classify voting as an illegal alien not only as a deportable offense, which it is already, but also as an aggravated felony that carries various consequences, such as rendering the alien inadmissible, deportable, and barred from naturalization.

The "Fund and Complete the Border Wall Act" would establish a federal fund to build effective border barriers along the entire southwestern border. The fund will be established by taxing all alien remittances, raising I-94 fees from $6 to $25, and reducing foreign aid to any nation by $2,000 per foreign citizen who crosses into the U.S. illegally.

The "Security First Act" would create a trust fund for FEMA's Operation Stonegarden, which provides funding to local law enforcement agencies to support joint efforts in securing the U.S. borders. H.R. 163 would also require a report on DHS hiring practices, designate Mexican Cartels as terrorist organizations, and call for a study on border security technology to determine needed upgrades.
