In a bold legislative move, Florida Representative Cory Mills has introduced a bill designed to prevent illegal immigrants from ever obtaining U.S. citizenship.
The proposed legislation, known as the No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act, seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to fortify American sovereignty by ensuring that those who enter the country unlawfully cannot exploit the immigration system to gain citizenship.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, the bill aims to append a crucial line to the Immigration and Nationality Act: No alien who enters the United States unlawfully shall be eligible for naturalization, notwithstanding any other provision of the immigration laws. This legislative effort comes in response to what Mills describes as a border crisis exacerbated by the current administration's policies. "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," Mills stated in a press release.
He further emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law, echoing President Trump's stance that those who undermine the immigration system are criminals. "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," Mills asserted.
The bill has garnered support from several cosponsors, including Representatives Josh Brecheen, Andy Harris, and Anna Paulina Luna. Rep. Brecheen underscored the necessity of the legislation, stating, "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. Its time we get back to common sense policies that restore law and order to America."
Currently, illegal immigrants can pursue citizenship through various avenues, such as marriage to a U.S. citizen, asylum claims, or programs like Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). This bill, however, seeks to eliminate those pathways. With an estimated 22 million illegal aliens residing in the United States, according to Pew Research, the proposed legislation aims to address a significant concern for those advocating for stricter immigration controls.
