Senator Josh Hawley introduced a bill where the states of the country will have the ability to deport undocumented immigrants who live in their cities. The Republican made this policy to show that there are solutions to the immigration crisis that is being experienced throughout the country and that the Biden Administration has allegedly refused to ensure.
The project entitled: “Law for the Empowerment of States to Deport Illegal Immigrants”, introduced by the senator from Missouri, is intended to empower state and local law enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration law.
The Republican asked the US to “remove the gloves” , to fight against illegal immigration, a problem, which according to the Biden Administration is not looking for a solution to secure the borders. The legislation will fight so that people from other countries who enter the United States illegally are deported to their places of origin.
Fox News detailed that this bill would strike down a Supreme Court case from 1200, which significantly limited the capacity of the states to participate in the application of the law of immigration. With the legislation introduced by Josh Hawley, would allow each of the states to use their own resources to enforce immigration laws.
But not only this, since the “Act for the Empowerment of States to Deport Illegal Immigrants”, also will allow the states that make borders with others, to have the ability to secure their space and deport to people who are not documented.
The Administration of President Joe Biden has argued on constant occasions that the border is “secure” and has said that it is re-establishing legal asylum processes that are in accordance with US law and that were demolished during the administration of Donald Trump.
However, Republicans do not agree with this argument, especially the governors of border states such as Texas , whose government sent two trucks with mostly Venezuelan immigrants to the home of Vice President Kamala Harris as a sign that the border is not “secure” as they say.
The action of the Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, to send immigrants from Texas to the island of Martha’s Vineyard to whom he supposedly promised that they would find work, and who after giving account that were used, they filed a class action lawsuit against the Republican.
Likewise, they have pointed out the more than 2.1 million migrants who have crossed the borders into the United States in this fiscal year. A significant number and that had not been registered on previous occasions and for which the Republican legislators reproach regarding the lack of initiative to seek a solution to the migratory problem.
