Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) announced today that he is cosponsoring House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act, which would fully fund President Trump’s border wall, crack down on sanctuary cities, and boost penalties for deported criminals who try to re-enter the U.S. The bill also includes language from Congressman Higgins’ resolution to support ICE personnel and their mission, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this year.
Congressman Higgins issued the following statement:
“My office continues to work toward reforms that assist law enforcement and restore the sovereignty of America’s borders. Border security is a critical national security priority. I am proud to cosponsor Leader McCarthy’s bill, which builds the wall and arms frontline defenders with the necessary resources to enforce law and order. I will continue to stand for strong border security and with the men and women who enforce our immigration laws.”
