David Vitter (R-La.) today called on Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to bring legislation passed through the House of Representatives to enforce immigration law to a vote in the Senate. President Obama announced last week that he will defer any action on immigration until after the midterm elections. Vitter called on Reid last month to bring the Senate back into session to address the border crisis. “Obama's balk on an executive amnesty for illegal immigrants does not change the fact that Harry Reid needs to bring up the House-passed enforcement bills,” Vitter said. “I'll continue fighting against amnesty every day, and also working to actually enforce our immigration laws and secure our border.” Vitter has been calling out the administration for its practices of assisting foreign children being smuggled into the country illegally without penalizing their parents. Vitter has legislation to implement mandatory detention and expedited removal. He has also asked DHS how many times this practice has occurred. Click here to read more. Vitter is the Chairman of the Senate Border Security Caucus. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
