Over 10 million illegal aliens have entered our motherland illegally because of the border crisis unleashed by the Biden-Harris administration. Today, lawmakers passed the Stop Illegal Entry Act, spearheaded by Reps. Stephanie Bice (R-OK) and Brad Knott (R-NC), imposing tougher penalties on illegal re-entrants and felons in the country unlawfully.
In an exclusive statement to Townhall, Rep. Bice emphasized the bill's role in empowering law enforcement amid the chaos left by Democrats. “The Biden Administration let over 10 million illegal migrants into the country and failed to prosecute those who defied U.S. immigration law. These individuals included people from countries designated as state sponsors of terror, with 400 illegal aliens on the Terrorist Watch List being encountered at the border,” Bice said. “We must deter future illegal immigration and give our law enforcement and border patrol officers the tools they need to hold dangerous criminals accountable. This is why I was proud to see my colleagues vote to pass the Stop Illegal Entry Act. This legislation increases penalties for illegal aliens who re-enter the United States, as well as those in the United States who have committed felonies. President Trump has delivered on his promise to secure the border, but we have more work to do to safeguard and protect our communities. This is another step in the right direction.”
