This bipartisan proposal could represent the last chance for Washington to address these issues in 2024. If it fails to pass, the consequences are predictable and catastrophic.
At home, hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants will continue to flow across our border every month. Abroad, America will be abandoning our allies in their time of need and strengthening the hands of Hamas, Russia, and the Chinese Communist Party.
Everyone in Washington understands this. Most want to do something about it. Just last week the Senate passed a bipartisan bill 70-29.
But that Senate bill is going nowhere in the House thanks to election-year politics. Once again, cynical members of Congress – and candidates on the campaign trail – have decided they would rather run on the immigration issue and blame the other side for the problem, than to do the hard work to solve it.
The No Labels movement won’t stand by and let this travesty continue, and fortunately, Representatives Fitzpatrick and Golden and their brave colleagues won’t either. They are working tirelessly to get more support for their bipartisan proposal in both the House and the Senate and they are in close touch with Representative Josh Gottheimer, who is advancing a separate proposal related to humanitarian aid.
But the ultimate fate of these proposals lies with one person:
House Speaker Mike Johnson.
He alone has the power to put a bill on the floor for a vote, which is exactly what he should do immediately with these bipartisan proposals.
Please add your voice to the growing chorus of commonsense Americans who demand action to secure our border and to protect American allies abroad. Please tell House Speaker Mike Johnson to LET THEM VOTE.
