Florida Man Proposes Dumb Bill Targeting NGOs Behind the Border Crisis

“NGOs and non-profits serve as the foot soldiers for the Biden-Harris administration’s mass-migration policies by helping illegal aliens cross the border and stay here for years after illegally. My legislation, the BARRIER Act, will strip these organizations of their federal funding, which can be used to assist those who break federal law. The federal government should not be financing the destruction of its own country." So says Florida's Beavis Butthead Congressman Matt Gaetz.  Here is the press release:

October 3, 2024

 

Washington, D.C. — This week, in response to the unprecedented number of illegal aliens entering the United States under the Biden-Harris administration, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) introduced the “Blocking Assistance and Resources to Restrict Illegal Entry and Residency (BARRIER) Act.” The legislation, if enacted, would cut off federal funding to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), non-profits, and other entities that help migrants illegally enter the U.S. or give assistance to migrants unlawfully residing here. The legislation is cosponsored by Reps. Lauren Boebert (CO-03), Mary Miller (IL-15), Eric Burlison (MO-07), Randy Weber (TX-14), Troy Nehls (TX-22), Andy Ogles (TN-05), and Andy Biggs (AZ-05).
