America is currently facing a massive border crisis, and House Democrats, along with seven Republicans, responded to it Tuesday evening by voting to pass an amnesty bill with absolutely no border security money or asylum system reforms.
Critics point out that the legislation would do absolutely nothing to address the border enforcement problems and legal loopholes that created the current crisis in the first place.
Conservative Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, took to social media on Tuesday to say the bill would cost the American taxpayer $34.6 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office, while providing "$0 dollars for border security" and no asylum reforms.
According to a summary sheet from House Judiciary Committee Republicans, the total cost of the bill comes from the combined estimated costs of the two bills that make up the legislation in its current form.
Briefing materials about the bill from the office of Republican Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., say that "Applicants with several misdemeanor convictions can obtain a green card, even if the misdemeanors were violent and resulted in death or bodily injury."
The bill bars the DHS from using state and federal gang databases as the determining factor in disqualifying potential beneficiaries.
"The Democrats are making us consider a bill that will worsen - give a green light - to the border crisis, incentivizing more people to cross our borders illegally in hopes of getting a piece of the amnesty pie," said House Judiciary ranking member Doug Collins, R-Ga., on the House floor Tuesday.
