The invoice handed 422 to 2 with one Democrat voting current: Rep. Delia Ramirez (IL). Different Squad members voted for the invoice which was launched by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA).

In a press release, Tlaib, the one Palestinian-American in Congress, mentioned, she voted in opposition to the invoice as a result of it’s “redundant” and that it was a “GOP messaging invoice getting used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe.”

The invoice now goes to the Senate.

Bush posted a press release about her vote on X Twitter, “I opposed H.R. 6679 as a result of it’s a redundant, empty messaging invoice Republicans are utilizing to focus on immigrants and incite anti-Palestinian hate. Republicans have ZERO credibility on these points.”

Ramirez launched a press release on her ‘current’ vote:

“I voted PRESENT as a result of I’m performed with political video games. The bulk is losing time bringing a invoice that’s already present regulation. There are ALREADY no immigration advantages for Hamas terrorists. After collaborating for 15 hours of a sham impeachment, I couldn’t abdomen one other invoice solely launched to attain low cost political factors, politicize immigration, and divide our communities. Just like the Republican’s sham impeachment, this invoice doesn’t meaningfully handle border safety nor additional defend our communities. H.R.6679 is pointless. It’s a waste of assets and time. And I’m not taking part in alongside.”

Tlaib posted an extended assertion protecting her ‘no’ votes on 4 payments in search of to tighten immigration legal guidelines:

Tlaib Opposes Hateful GOP Anti-Immigrant Payments

At the moment, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) launched the next assertion concerning her opposition to 4 hateful anti-immigrant payments:

“As soon as once more, my colleagues have chosen to waste our time inciting racism that places our immigrant neighbors in danger and makes our communities much less protected. These 4 payments have one widespread theme: dehumanizing our immigrant neighbors. These are racist, fear-mongering payments that do nothing to repair our outdated and inhumane immigration system.

H.R. 6678 would violate basic due course of protections by including new grounds of exclusion and deportation primarily based on mere allegations, not convictions, of Social Safety fraud. Nobody needs to be separated from their communities and their household attributable to an unproven allegation.

H.R. 6976 would imply that our immigrant neighbors who got here right here lawfully and who’ve resided in our communities for many years could possibly be deported and ripped from their households attributable to one misdemeanor DUI conviction, making a separate and unequal system of justice.

H.R. 5585 would create a brand new federal legal offense for evading Border Patrol, although this offense already exists in practically equivalent kind in federal regulation. Since that is already unlawful, it’s clear that the purpose of this invoice is solely to demonize migrants and asylum seekers.

H.R. 6679 is pointless as a result of it’s redundant with already current federal regulation. It’s simply one other GOP messaging invoice getting used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe.

I made a promise to my residents once they despatched me to Congress that I’d take significant actions to finish hateful Trump-era immigration insurance policies, reunite households, welcome migrants and asylum seekers, and reform our immigration system. I reaffirm that dedication in the present day, and can at all times converse fact to energy within the face of disgusting makes an attempt by my colleagues to dehumanize our immigrant neighbors.”
