Cybersecdn- In a recent U.S. House of Representatives hearing titled “The Biden Administration’s Regulatory and Policymaking Efforts to Undermine U.S. Immigration Law,” a Florida lawmaker made a dramatic proposal. During the discussion of H.R. 2, the “Secure the Border Act” which aims to continue building a wall along the U.S. southern border, Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., labeled the bill as bigoted.
Frost, the youngest member of Congress, criticized the bill, invoking Irving Berlin’s poem “Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor” inscribed on the Statue of Liberty. He accused H.R. 2 proponents of hypocrisy and proposed a bill to remove the Statue of Liberty, symbolizing the U.S.’s rejection of its immigrant-welcoming stance.
Countering Frost’s arguments, Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., highlighted the dangers faced by migrants attempting to cross the border, referencing U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell’s criticism of policies encouraging illegal crossings. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., also played a pivotal role in introducing the “Secure the Border Act” in the Senate.
