This week, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz introduced the "Blocking Assistance and Resources to Restrict Illegal Entry and Residency (BARRIER) Act" in response to what he describes as an unprecedented number of illegal entries into the United States under the current administration. The proposed legislation aims to halt federal funding to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), non-profits, and other entities that assist migrants in entering or residing unlawfully in the country.
The bill has garnered support from several representatives, including Lauren Boebert, Mary Miller, Eric Burlison, Randy Weber, Troy Nehls, Andy Ogles, and Andy Biggs.
Congressman Gaetz stated: “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.”
Further details about Congressman Gaetz's bill are available online along with exclusive coverage by Fox News.
