IAP is grateful to all who have served.

BUMPY ROADS AHEAD

The House barrels ahead without reforming some of the massive loopholes for trafficking to the border. Also major source of NGO slush that Admin had a mandate to eliminate. HR2 sits idle (would close many loopholes). Meanwhile amnesty discharge petitions are being prepared.

The Senate puts Lankford in top R committee spot. Recall his base-rejected "compromise" bill under Biden.

Meanwhile in Texas, all signs point to as much destruction of progress as possible.

Patriots need to be on high alert. We are the accountability alarm.

The House of Representatives is planning to double down on government-assisted trafficking of children by reauthorizing the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA). Despite the name, the TVPRA actually incentivizes child trafficking and makes the US gov’t complicit. Instead of fixing the law, @SteveScalise has scheduled a vote on a bill (HR 1144) to reauthorize it. Shameful. Tell your Representative to vote NO on HR 1144.

Fair question in 2013. Still a fair question today.

American workers first — NO AMNESTY!

.@RepJasonCrow has filed a discharge petition to force a House vote on a bill to give Temporary Protected Status to all Afghan nationals in the United States until July of 2029. Obviously, Rep. Crow and his colleagues don’t care that multiple government reports have documented the fact that these Afghans were poorly vetted, or not vetted at all, and may present a threat to our national security. https://t.co/hjJE47Axn2

For everyone on my feed this is in addition to my earlier Ag amnesty @iaproject is all over this !

[Immigration Accountability Project Action @iaproject]

Bishop, our nation's history and the political realities of Washington make a single immigration package that solves everything unworkable.

Every time we have entertained a form of amnesty (from large bills to executive actions), we have seen an increase in illegal immigration, not a decrease.

In 1986, when President Reagan signed IRCA, we were promised a "one-time" amnesty in exchange for enforcement that never came. Nearly 3 million were amnestied, and we faced endless waves of illegal immigration.

It's no mystery why we saw a border surge in 2019 after Congress considered three amnesty proposals. Similarly, it's no mystery why we faced a true border crisis for the entire duration of the Biden presidency, which only came to a halt with the promise of robust immigration enforcement.

While we support proposals to improve immigration enforcement, we can't ignore how many vulnerable women and children have been saved by choosing to stay home rather than risk the journey north.

Now, particularly given the hostility of many Democrats to the enforcement of immigration law against even the most vile criminals, and the call to fully dismantle ICE, why should the public believe that this time we'll finally get enforcement, and not just another amnesty with false promises?

We believe Congress needs to demonstrate that the border can be closed for good. We've had two years of relative calm, and Congress has failed to codify any of it. The simple reality is that the U.S. border could be reopened by any future Administration. If Congress is serious, it should lock in permanent solutions to stop illegal immigration now. Only after that should they consider any next steps.

We can't keep talking about bailing out the water before we've plugged the holes in the boat.

An important final note: You have quite a few fans here at IAP. If you ever find yourself with free time in D.C., we'd love to sit down with you.

God bless you!

More data confirming the obvious. Only Republicans vote on immigration.

Democrats really don’t care about the issue, they want Medicare for All, liberation for Palestine, and $20 minimum wage. At this point, saying they want amnesty is just a reflex.

[Immigration Accountability Project Action @iaproject]

Right answer, @SecMullinDHS! Definitely going to save this!

[Secretary Markwayne Mullin @SecMullinDHS]

Amnesty will NEVER be on the table.

[Immigration Accountability Project Action @iaproject]

@USLatAmEnvoy Ok. Let’s just lay it out. DEPORTATION FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS IS THE OBJECTIVE, just as it is the law. Is that clear enough?

[Immigration Accountability Project Action @iaproject]

@craigdvc And later said it was the move he most regretted.

[Immigration Accountability Project Action @iaproject]

“Amnesty is never the right answer,” said Rosemary Jenks, policy director at the Immigration Accountability Project, and a veteran of the last half-dozen amnesty legislation battles in Congress. “The polls clearly showed that immigration was the single issue that Republicans did well on.” https://t.co/NzuM8C83DJ

[Immigration Accountability Project Action @iaproject]

@USLatAmEnvoy Two things:
1. Conditional amnesty is still amnesty and will incentivize more illegal immigration, just like unconditional amnesty.
2. Deportation is not “punishment.” It is the civil consequence of illegal immigration.

[Immigration Accountability Project Action @iaproject]

IAP’s Rosemary Jenks: “There is never a reason for amnesty if you want people to respect our laws,” she told the Daily Signal. “So you know the fact that somebody has been here for 10 or 15 years illegally only means that they have been more successful at violating our laws. So why would we reward them for that?”

[Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell @TheElizMitchell]

After President Trump said he’d work with Dems on a deal to give some aliens legal status, conservative immigration hawks say they fear this will inspire caravans of border crossers.

“The message that it sends to the rest of the world is if you can manage to break through and get in, there’s a pretty good chance that you’re going to be rewarded in a big permanent way, so people are going to come bum rushing the border over this," @BensmanTodd told @DailySignal.

Bensman said there is a lot of “internal back and forth” in the admin over Trump’s comments. Another source close to the admin said many officials are not happy with the suggestion of a deal on amnesty.

“The mere discussion of amnesty encourages more caravans,” @lora_ries said.

We not only need mass deportations, we need at least a 40 year moratorium on all immigration......or we won't have a country

[Todd Bensman @BensmanTodd]

“Activists are descending on Washington this week to lobby Congress to bring in more Afghan nationals to join the 200,000 ushered in by the Biden administration after its bungled Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021, despite whistleblower warnings about the national security threat posed by inadequate vetting and rampant visa corruption.”

The data shows the Hispanic vote was driven by economics

In 2024, Hispanics voted for Trump FOR his mass deportation agenda

[William Wolfe 🇺🇸 @WilliamWolfe]

I am against amnesty because of the overwhelming love I have for my fellow American citizens
