House Considers Immigration Legislation

June 28, 2018

In the past week, the House of Representatives considered two different immigration reform bills that would secure America's borders and improve the American immigration system.

Congressman Moolenaar voted for both bills. He made the following statement on today's legislative action:

"This month in Washington we have been working on legislation to improve and fix our broken immigration system including legislation that secures our borders and keeps families together. We need to help those who come to our country legally and those who have come through no fault of their own. We should also increase penalties for those who repeatedly enter the country illegally and that is why I have supported past efforts to pass Kate's Law. Finally, we need to make vital reforms that will help Michigan farmers hire the workers they need to have a successful year. We were not able to pass legislation today but I will continue to work for a solution that upholds our American values, enforces our laws, and fixes problems with the immigration system."
