Florida Rep. Cory Mills has introduced legislation to block illegal aliens from ever obtaining U.S. citizenship.
The No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to “protect American sovereignty by ensuring that illegal immigrants cannot exploit the U.S. immigration system,” according to Rep. Mills.
If passed, the bill would add the line, “No alien who enters the United States unlawfully shall be eligible for naturalization, notwithstanding any other provision of the immigration laws,” to the end of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
“Under the Biden administration, we saw more than 10 million encounters at our borders, a crisis exacerbated by reckless catch-and-release policies that allowed criminals who broke our laws to remain in the United States,” said Congressman Mills in a press release.
Mills continued, “President Trump has made it clear that anyone that tries to unlawfully undermine, exploit, or bypass our immigration system is a criminal. The No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act will ensure these criminals will never be granted U.S. citizenship, that privilege will be reserved for those who respect our laws.”
The bill’s cosponsors include Reps. Josh Brecheen, Andy Harris, and Anna Paulina Luna.
Rep. Brecheen said of the bill, “America is a nation of laws, and if we allow those laws to be subverted by illegal aliens who have no constitutional right to be here in the first place, then we will cease to be a nation. The No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act prevents illegal aliens from being rewarded with citizenship after breaking our laws. It’s time we get back to common sense policies that restore law and order to America.”
Illegal aliens can currently pursue citizenship through various pathways, such as marriage to a U.S. citizen, asylum claims, or special programs like Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). This bill would eliminate those options.
According to Pew Research, over 22 million illegal aliens are living in the U.S.
