Latest Devastating Consequence of Biden's Border Crisis

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MEUSER. Mr. Speaker, just the latest devastating consequence of the atrocious Biden border crisis is the dramatic rise in the number of illegal immigrants squatting in American homes.

We have heard story after story of migrants squatting on Americans' property to the point of a viral Venezuelan TikToker urged illegal immigrants to take advantage of States' adverse possession laws, which caused even more migrants to squat.

Just last week, Homeland Security officials arrested eight illegal immigrants on drug and gun possession charges who had been squatting in a Bronx, New York, home.

I am taking action to curb this trend, which is why I recently introduced the Safeguarding Homes from Illegal Entry, Living, and Dwelling Act, or SHIELD Act. My bill would make trespassing a deportable offense for illegal aliens, as well as deem the alien permanently inadmissible for entry or return back to the United States of America.

This legislation should serve as a deterrent and make illegal immigrants think twice before attempting to trespass on our homes in an unlawful manner.
