I compose to you currently concerning disturbing media experiences indicating that the Division of Justice, Division of Homeland Security and the Department of Wellness and Human Companies system to provide illegal immigrants hundreds of 1000’s, if not millions, of taxpayer bucks to settle lawsuits ensuing from their violations of U.S. immigration regulation.
Now this yr, this administration has pursued border insurance policies that have undermined our nationwide stability and established a preventable crisis at United States-Mexico border. These guidelines include ending border wall design, supporting sanctuary jurisdictions, and weakening immigration enforcement policies by terminating the “Remain in Mexico Policy” and generating exceptions to Title 42 enforcement. All the although, our nation continues to see a report number of encounters at the border, such as a latest caravan of hundreds of migrants from across the world functioning its way north via Mexico to the United States.
At a time when regard for our country’s immigration guidelines is at an all-time reduced, our federal authorities is now searching for to monetarily reward aliens who broke our legal guidelines. These illegal immigrants disregarded our immigration procedures, slice in entrance those people in search of to legally enter our country, and set kids at danger of wonderful private harm or loss of life. Not only would these settlements be breathtakingly unjust and unwise, but they would serve only to motivate more illegal immigration.
Us residents are a sort and generous men and women who welcome a numerous array of immigrants from around the planet. Our country has been made much better by the generations of authorized immigrants that have contributed to our region and attained the American Dream. But satisfying illegal immigration with monetary payments runs counter to our regulations and would only serve to really encourage a lot more lawlessness at our borders. To that end, I ask that your administration refuse to issue any settlement payments for aliens who broke our legislation.
Sincerely,
