Moolenaar Cosponsors Bill Prohibiting Federal Flights for Migrants

Statement

Congressman John Moolenaar has cosponsored legislation that prohibits any federal entity - specifically the Department of Homeland Security - from using federal tax dollars to fly illegal immigrants across the country.

"President Biden is opening the border for illegal immigration by providing flights to people who break the law, which encourages them to come to the United States and enter the country illegally. I am proud to support this legislation which will uphold the rule of law and bring an end to these flights that reward and release lawbreaking immigrants into the country," said Moolenaar.

The legislation is called the Stop the Betrayal Act and it is led by Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, a Republican from Iowa. More information on the Stop the Betrayal Act can be found here.

The Department of Homeland Security reported there were over 2 million encounters with illegal immigrants on the southern border last year - the most on record.
