It is long past time we strengthened our nation’s immigration laws and improve public safety for all Americans. Today, the House of Representatives passed two bills that will help accomplish this goal. First, the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act which combats local policies that shield criminal immigrants from federal immigration enforcement, endangering communities across America. Second we passed Kate’s Law, named for Kate Steinle who was murdered by an illegal immigrant who had previously been deported. This bill strengthens the penalties for illegal immigrants who re-enter our country.

This is simply unacceptable. Today, I introduced the No Free Rides Act to end this practice. My legislation would prohibit illegal immigrants who received Social Security Numbers through former President Obama’s deferred prosecution from qualifying for the Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC), a benefit created for American families who most need assistance. This important legislation ensures American families in need are those who receive help. To learn more about my bill click here → https://mchenry.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398608
