President Joe Biden has opened the floodgates on illegal immigration and wants to allow illegal immigrants already here an opportunity to stay legally, if not become citizens.
Yet one Arizona Republican lawmaker says it’s to put the brakes on any new arrivals.
Rep. Paul Gosar on Friday announced that he was introducing a bill to impose a 10-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States.
“America is a nation of laws. And like every country on earth, it has laws limiting how and when, and who, can come into our borders. Not just to visit, to live, and work. The current regime is ignoring and actively assisting the violation of our federal laws,” Gosar said in a statement released Friday.
“The Biden administration has literally and figuratively opened the gates and is waving hundreds of thousands of criminals into our country. We are looking at 2 million criminals being let in this year alone. On top of over 30 million already here.”
Gosar noted that federal immigration authorities “encountered” almost 370,000 illegal immigrants just in May and June alone. He argues that an immigration pause is necessary to how to determine how to stop illegal immigration.
“To harm our people more, the Biden administration uses tax money to pay for transportation, fancy hotels, food, and health care for these illegal aliens. Meanwhile, Americans suffer with inflation and low wages,” Gosar added.
“We can’t have legal immigration when we have rampant illegal alien invaders. This is a threat to our national security and our economy and to our citizens.”
Gosar continued, “With the destruction of President [Donald] Trump’s solid immigration enforcement, and current disregard and violation of existing federal law, Mr. Biden has unleashed the most severe border and humanitarian crisis in United States history.”
“No other nation, save England and Germany, has willingly participated in its own economic and cultural destruction. No American voted for this desecration. The laws have not been changed. This is lawless criminality.”
“With millions of Americans including our veterans who are now unemployed, homeless, or living in poverty we need to take care of one another before we allow millions to migrate here,” he concluded. “Time to pause migration to America and figure out how to put the American people first.”
Gosar’s bill does not have any sponsors so far. Nor does it appear to have much of a chance with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in charge of the House.
