The Biden-Harris administration and the Democrats’ dangerous open border and soft-on-crime policies have made communities across America less safe. House Republicans recently took action to protect you, your family, and your tax dollars from paying the painful price of the left’s radical, dangerous agenda.
It seems like every day we are seeing another shocking headline about illegal migrants who have crossed our border and committed heinous crimes against America’s women and girls, including rape and sexual assault. A 37-year-old Maryland mom, Rachel Morin, was raped and murdered by an illegal while out on a run. A 12-year-old Texan girl, Jocelyn Nungaray, was assaulted, strangled to death and left under a bridge by two illegals. These are just a few of the female victims who have suffered the tragic consequences of the administration’s open border policies.
Just one instance of a woman or young girl being violently assaulted by an illegal migrant should be enough for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to enforce our immigration laws and remove them from our country. Unfortunately, they are still letting these criminals roam freely. It’s infuriating, and House Republicans won’t stand for it. We passed the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act to ensure illegals convicted of sex offenses or domestic violence are deported from the United States.
Throughout our country, radical liberal sanctuary states and cities like New York City are also disregarding America’s immigration laws, imposing policies to block immigration enforcement and protect illegal criminals. This is only worsening the out-of-control border crisis and incentivizing more migrants to cross illegally into the United States without fear of consequences. Worse, these far-left mayors and governors are using taxpayer dollars to foot the bill for their sanctuary policies and subsidize illegals.
Law-abiding, tax-paying American citizens are already bearing the brunt of the Biden-Harris administration’s dangerous border policies. It’s time the federal government stopped bailing out our blue cities and started holding them accountable instead. That’s why I was proud to join my House Republican colleagues in passing the No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act. This legislation would prevent sanctuary cities from receiving federal funds that would subsidize illegals and encourage more illegal crossings.
In North Carolina and across our country, families are worried about rising crime. This is a direct result of radical policies, like cashless bail, that allow violent offenders to be released back onto our streets, jeopardizing Americans’ safety.
You and your family deserve to feel safe in your community. House Republicans passed a bill to ensure those convicted of violent crimes are not let back into our communities to commit more crimes and restore oversight to out-of-control bail funds.
Open border and soft-on-crime policies are threatening the safety and security of the American people. Rest assured, I will continue to fight for policies that prioritize law and order, ensuring that you and your loved ones can live without fear.
