Texas Rep. Chip Roy to Introduce Bill That Would 'Freeze All Immigration'

As President Donald Trump and his administration have done an amazing job trying to clean up the various messes left behind by Joe Biden, America will be feeling the results of the Biden administration's reckless open borders policies for decades to come. High rates of violent crime, drugs, and human trafficking, and a strain on the American economy have been the result of a mass influx of illegal immigrants into the country. But now, one member of Congress is saying enough and is introducing legislation that would shut all of America's open doors to the rest of the world.

On Thursday, GOP Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) announced that he would be introducing a bill that would place a freeze on all immigration into the U.S. until rigorous immigration and national security reform is enacted. Roy stated that the bill would halt all types of immigration "until certain objectives are achieved." Roy explained that the bill would address current issues surrounding all forms of immigration into the country, saying:

I've got a bill that I'm going to be introducing that is a freeze on all immigration. Freeze it until we achieve certain objectives--reforming chain migration, ending H-1B visas, getting birthright citizenship dealt with, and vetting people for their adherence to Sharia law.

Roy went on to explain the bill further, adding,

We're dealing with a massive Islamism problem. We're dealing with a massive problem of the advancement of Sharia law. We're dealing with a mass community that is growing up and has no desire to assimilate and come here, to become American and embrace Western civilisation [sic], embrace our Constitution, and embrace our values.

The debate over H-1B visas is currently front and center. My colleague Bonchie recently reported on an interview with Fox News Channel's Laura Ingraham and President Trump. When the subject of H-1B visas came up, things got a little contentious, with Trump saying the visas are necessary "to bring in talent." However, quite often that is not the case. As Bonchie reported, there have been cases of fraudulent visas, and people who are often not as skilled as advertised.

The bottom line of Roy's bill is the basic lack of assimilation by many groups of immigrants. Those coming into the country and wanting to institute Sharia Law are a problem. A proposed Muslim-only enclave was proposed earlier this year near Plano, Texas, that Republican Gov. Greg Abbott quickly put the kibosh on, and there have been bills in both the House and Senate that would ban Sharia Law anywhere in the U.S. As Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have begun tracking down illegal immigrants across the country, protests against them have ramped up in places like Los Angeles, where demonstrations featured a sea of Mexican flags and those of other nations.

There is also the ongoing debate over birthright citizenship and whether the children born on American soil to illegal immigrant parents are automatically American citizens. The question has gone before the Supreme Court, but there has been no ruling yet.

America is indeed a nation of immigrants. Our culture is an amazing mix of food, music, and so much more. But one hundred years ago, people from all over the world came to America to become Americans. They remained proud of their heritage, but they were first and foremost Americans. That is no longer happening, and it needs to happen again and be central to the idea of anyone immigrating to America, the idea that you become a loyal American first.

Chip Roy's bill is probably not the "immigration reform" Democrats say they want, and that can only be a good thing.
