Horowitz: State legislatures should convene special sessions to repel border invasion, bar education for illegal aliens
OP-ED
DANIEL HOROWITZMay 10, 2023
House Republicans might not have the votes to get their immigration enforcement bill (HR 2) signed into law, but the red states absolutely have the votes to choke off illegal immigration. Although much of the focus is on the border itself, these illegal aliens don’t remain at the border. The problem is most acute in individual communities within the states, particularly in the education system. Therefore, the solution to deterring it at this point in history lies primarily with the states.
Yesterday, I called on all GOP governors to gather in Texas and contribute resources to help repel the invasion. But perhaps an even less costly and more effective solution is for state governments to simply suggest that those rushing over the border this week cannot resettle in their states. No jobs, no identity, no benefits, no health care, and no schooling. Our doors are completely closed.
Most state legislatures are either out of session or are past the time for introducing new legislation and are about to adjourn. They should immediately convene special sessions to warn the world that their respective states are closed for business. If Republicans are really committed to ending this problem rather than just using it as a talking point against Biden as our communities burn, they would implement the following:
