Immigration Bills Introduced in the House of Representatives

Legislation Behind the Scenes

In the midst of all the controversy surrounding Donald Trump and his erupting daily scandals, the Republican held Congress is quietly busy behind the scenes devising legislation based upon Trump’s mandate to crack down on Immigrants and reduce overall immigration.

Avoiding the Spotlight

With most news coverage focused on the Russian investigation and Trump’s daily tweets, even controversial legislative efforts aren’t garnering much attention these days, which is the case with several Immigration Bills recently introduced into the House of Representatives.

The Legislation

The Enforcement Act H.R. 2406, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Authorization Act, introduced by Republican Bob Goodlatte, and the Davis-Oliver Act, H.R. 2431, introduced by Republican Raul Labrador, while purporting to secure and protect Americans from dangerous criminal Immigrants and “job stealers”, would among other things:

criminalize “unlawful status”, making it a crime to be in the U.S. without current legal immigration status (even overstaying a visa)
make drunk driving a deportable offense
result in deportation of millions of Immigrants
substantially increase both federal and local immigration enforcement
encourage States and local law authorities to act as Immigration enforcement forces
mandate social media vetting for Visa applicants
increase Visa refusals
