Heritage Hails Well-Timed Passage of Historic Proposal to End Border Crisis, Reduce Illegal Immigration

• House Republicans Thursday passed the strongest border security and enforcement legislation put forward to date, addressing nearly every policy recommendation provided by a coalition led in part by The Heritage Foundation.
• The bill’s intentions and contents are clear: It would end the crisis and restore sanity, safety, and security at our borders.
• This firm display of leadership from House Republicans stands in stark contrast to the Biden administration and its policies that seek to worsen, not address the worst border crisis in American history.

Even Democrats Realize Biden’s Title 42 Blunder is About to Be a Massive Disaster

• After May 11, border agents are no longer able to expel people attempting to enter the U.S. illegally under Title 42, a COVID-19-prevention authority used since 2020.
• Most Americans understand that this country can only function under the rule of law – and the Biden administration’s handling of immigration and the border is as lawless as it is incompetent.   
• As long as we make it obvious that we won’t enforce our own laws, there will be an unending supply of people eager to cross illegally into the U.S.

• The FDIC’s new rule implementing this ‘special assessment’ is, in a word, ridiculous.
• The FDIC bailed out bad actors and will now ask responsible fiduciaries to bear the cost.

Democrats’ Bills Are About Supreme Court Harassment, Not Ethics

• Judicial ethics issues fall into categories: financial disclosure, recusal, and off-the-bench activities.
• Democrats and their allies among left-wing groups and in the media want you to believe that the Supreme Court, alone among all federal courts, is out of control because no rules govern the justices’ actions in these areas. This is a lie.
• The real purpose of producing an ethics code for the Supreme Court is to create a process for anyone and everyone to file unlimited, even completely baseless, complaints against any justice, accusing them of doing virtually anything the complainer doesn’t like.
