This legislation allows states and localities to pass and enforce laws that mirror federal immigration laws. The Biden Administration has virtually stopped immigration enforcement\u2014allowing deportable aliens to remain in the country and incentivizing illegal aliens to enter the country.\n\n\u201cCongress must authorize states to act because the Biden Administration has refused to enforce our nation\u2019s federal immigration laws amid a historic invasion,\u201d said Congressman Andy Biggs. \u201cOn Day One, the Biden Administration began issuing directives to stop nearly every border security and immigration enforcement tool in order to implement its radical open borders agenda. The result has led to an unprecedented crisis at our border.\n\n\u201cMy legislation provides the explicit congressional authorization that the Supreme Court in Arizona v. U.S. said was necessary for state and local governments to act. My bill will allow states to bypass the Biden Administration\u2019s America last open border policies and restore the rule of law.\u201d\n\nCo-sponsors include: Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), Rep. Randy K. Weber (R-TX), and Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC).\n\nThe legislation may be read here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:20:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://biggs.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-biggs-introduces-legislation-help-states-bypass-bidens-open"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.761010916903615, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
