Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced on Thursday that she is introducing the “Protect America First Act” to secure the U.S. Southern Border amid the dramatic surge of unaccompanied minor children and illegal aliens, which appears to be causing a border crisis.
Joe Biden, on his first day in office, signed an executive order, halting the border Wall under construction during the Trump administration, although the funds were available to finish the Wall to protect American citizens.
On Friday, Rep. Greene kept her word and said in a press release that she introduced the “Protect America First Act” to “end Joe Biden’s crisis at the Southern border by halting all immigration for four years, funding and building the wall, expediting the deportation of illegal aliens, rescinding DACA and DAPA, and other measures protecting our national sovereignty.”
“The ‘Protect America First Act’ is the most comprehensive and thorough piece of border security legislation to be introduced in the 117th Congress. When enacted into law, the ‘Protect America First Act’ will end the flood of illegal border crossings unleashed during the first 50 days of the Biden administration,” Congresswoman Greene said about her groundbreaking immigration bill.
“Joe Biden is rewarding human traffickers and coyotes who smuggle illegal aliens across the border. My bill will end these Democrat-created incentives by stopping all immigration during the Biden administration. The ‘Protect America First Act’ will fund and finish the wall, defund sanctuary cities, expedite removal of illegal aliens, repeals Biden’s radical executive orders, and so much more,” she said.
“The ‘Protect America First Act’ is critical to secure our Southern border, conserve American culture, and defend U.S. sovereignty,” Rep. Greene added. Continued Below
