H.R. 2740 would worsen the border crisis -- Tell Representative Williams to vote NO!
Tell Representative Williams to oppose H.R. 2740!
Dear activist,
The House of Representatives has begun consideration of H.R. 2740 -- the first of the FY2020 spending bills that would fund the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Defense, State, as well as the Legislative Branch, Foreign Operations, and Energy and Water Development.
While most immigration enforcement spending is reserved for the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, H.R. 2740 contains several provisions that would severely limit enforcement, including:
H.R. 2740 funds border security for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia, but blocks any funds in this -- or any prior -- appropriations bill from being used to construct "border security infrastructure."
H.R. 2740 allows illegal aliens who have received work permits through the DACA executive amnesty to work for the agencies funded by the bill even though most federal jobs are reserved for U.S. citizens only.
H.R. 2740 prohibits Health and Human Services from working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain or remove illegal alien sponsors of unaccompanied alien children, even though, most times, the sponsors are the ones who paid the drug cartels to smuggle the children to the United States.
This bill would significantly weaken the administration's ability to end the ongoing border crisis and, as a result, would allow the drug cartels to continue to rake in millions of dollars through smuggling fees.
