GOP Lawmaker Takes Cue from DeSantis, Brings the Immigration Crisis to Doorstep of Top Dems; Tennessee Bill Would Relocate Illegal Immigrants to Biden’s Hometown; Would Relocate Undocumented to Biden, VP Harris’ Home States
GOP Lawmaker Takes Cue from DeSantis, Brings the Immigration Crisis to Doorstep of Top Dems:
State Rep. Bruce Griffey of the Tennessee General Assembly filed a new bill Wednesday that brings a spotlight to immigration issues.
The bill that Griffey filed, HB1994, proposes that illegal immigrants in the U.S should be relocated to the home states of President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, WZTV-TV in Nashville reported.
Griffey said illegal immigration was a key component of his campaign when he first ran for office in 2018 and has also been the focus of a number of bills that he has filed over the years he has been in the Tennessee House, the Gateway Pundit reported.
The bill aims to move illegal immigrants to the hometowns of the political leaders “responsible for our border crisis,” Griffy said, according to WZTV.
It’s not the first time Griffey has used national events as an inspiration for proposed legislation in the Volunteer State. On Jan. 18, he introduced HB1769, which would require the state to pay the legal fees of defendants accused of violent crimes who successfully argued justification for self-defense. —>READ MORE HERE
Tennessee bill would relocate illegal immigrants to Biden’s hometown:
A Tennessee bill filed Wednesday would relocate illegal immigrants to the hometowns of President Joe Biden and other top Democratic leaders who are overseeing the border crisis.
Tennessee state Rep. Bruce Griffey introduced the bill in an effort to highlight the need for increased border security.
“The Biden administration is quietly moving thousands of illegals to various states, including Tennessee, by putting them on planes and buses and transporting them in the middle of the night, and we should return them to their sender,” Griffey said in a statement. “I imagine that if we relocated them to the backyards of those responsible for allowing the flood of illegal immigration across our border, then those with federal power might be more apt to secure the border and secure it quickly.”
The idea for the bill was originally presented by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. —>READ MORE HERE
