Atlanta, GA – Today, the House is expected to vote on the “Secure the Border Act,” House Republicans’ border security, asylum and immigration reform package. In response, TPPA Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:

“The ‘Secure the Border act’ is the strongest comprehensive border security and asylum and immigration reform bill we’ve seen in a long, long time. We support it, and we strongly urge every House Member to vote for it. This legislation addresses the ‘Biden Border Crisis’ and his administration’s abject failure to enforce our immigration laws and ensure the security of our southern border. This legislation will build the border wall, make E-Verify mandatory, and continue the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy, among other things.  With Title 42 expiring today, and a new surge of migrants expected to cross the border, this legislation is more timely than ever.

“Once the House has taken action, the onus will be on the Senate to pass its own bill so we can keep the momentum going.”
