Congressional Votes

Would redirect $10 million for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and prohibit the use of the funds to detain or deport DACA recipients.

Would cut $45 billion for foreign aid, $16 billion for the Department of Education, $5 billion for refugee programs, and $4 billion for the National Science Foundation in order to offset a $70 billion increase in border-security spending.

Would require the secretary of homeland security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status (TPS) until April 2029.

Would eliminate $5.16 billion in refugee-and-entrant-assistance funding.

Prohibits the District of Columbia from limiting its cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

During consideration of the fiscal 2025 homeland-security appropriations bill (H.R. 8752), Representative Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) offered an amendment to prohibit funds in the bill from being used for the "Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans" (CHNV) parole program that incentivizes illegal mass migration from those four countries.

Prohibits funding in the bill from being used to fly illegal migrants into the United States.

Migrants who do not satisfy the conditions for asylum are often, upon their entry into the United States and release from custody, granted parole for up to two years under Title 8 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, making them eligible for work permits. Given that aliens are presumed to be ineligible for asylum if they enter the United States unlawfully after failing to seek refuge in a third country (e.g., Mexico), the CBP One app has effectively become a fraudulent gateway for millions of illegal migrants. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution stipulates that Congress shall have the power to "establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization," and Article II, Section 3 requires the president to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."

The purpose of the U.S. Census is to determine the allotment of congressional seats and Electoral College votes for each state. Illegal aliens, who are not U.S. citizens, should not be counted toward determining those numbers. Furthermore, changing the demographics of a congressional district or state also changes the voting patterns of those areas.

Secretary Mayorkas deserves impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold office in the future. He has failed to uphold his duty to support and defend the U.S. Constitution by repeatedly violating laws enacted by Congress regarding immigration and border security. His unlawful conduct has allowed illicit drugs and millions of illegal aliens to enter and remain in the United States annually by means of insecure borders. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress power to "establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization," as well as to call forth "the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions," and Article II, Section 4 provides that "all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of … high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Eliminates all $2,548,250,000 of funding for the State Department's Migration and Refugee Assistance program.

The right to vote and choose representatives in America is retained solely by citizens of the United States, who, owing true faith and allegiance to the Constitution, are not subject to any foreign power. According to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution, Congress is granted the authority to "exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever" involving Washington, D.C.

Gives amnesty to over 1.5 million illegal aliens in the agriculture industry and changes the H-2A visa program to make it more attractive to migrants and increase chain migration.

Would allow for legislation enforcing the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico" policy that requires illegal migrants attempting to gain asylum in the U.S. to wait in Mexico.

To provide "conditional permanent residence" (i.e., amnesty) to DACA program recipients.

The flood of illegal immigrants into the United States has risen to the level of an invasion swamping our Republic, and political entities that provide sanctuary to illegal aliens in contravention of federal immigration laws should not expect to do so while receiving federal aid.

The presence of "sanctuary cities," in which cities and states harbor illegal immigrants and protect them from deportation, is a violation of federal immigration law. Saying such cities and states are ineligible for federal grants, while imperfect in that it essentially uses federal (and likely unconstitutional) grant money as a "bribe," is still a step in the right direction.

This is constitutionally exemplary for the House of Representatives to take legal action to uphold Congress' sole authority to legislate regarding naturalization and to make the point that the executive branch has the duty to enforce the laws made by Congress.

Congress is authorized to protect each state against invasion.

With this omnibus bill members of Congress are failing to address their fiscally and constitutionally irresponsible budgeting and appropriating process that is currently yielding annual federal deficits measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars, as well as minimizing their accountability to the voters by combining all discretionary federal spending for fiscal 2016 into one gigantic "take it or leave it" bill.

Under the U.S. Constitution, "all legislative powers herein granted" are delegated to Congress, and it is the responsibility of the president to faithfully execute the law. The president is not a "king" or "dictator" who may make his own law.

Would effectively grant amnesty to the 12 million illegal immigrants who already reside in the United States and create a guest-worker program for up to 200,000 immigrants a year.

Would authorize 700 miles of security fence to be built on the U.S.-Mexican border and make unlawful entry into the United States a criminal offense.

Would allow certain illegal immigrants to remain in this country while applying for legal residency.
