Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy introduced legislation Monday to make President Donald Trump’s border policies permanent, the Daily Caller learned.
The Permanent Trump Secure Border Act would codify the Trump administration’s immigration policies on asylum and border security and is modeled after the border package House Republicans passed last Congress, according to bill text obtained by the Caller. Roy is also looking to couple these reforms with the Republicans’ second attempt at a reconciliation bill to prevent Democrats from reversing Trump’s policies in the future.
“President Trump’s most successful border security policies remain vulnerable because Congress has failed to codify them into law,” Roy told the Caller. “If we fail to act now, we risk returning to the chaos and crisis we saw under President Biden the next time Democrats take power.”
“House Republicans already passed the blueprint in H.R. 2 last Congress,” Roy added. “We must pair these critical reforms with Reconciliation 2.0 and finally make border security permanent.”
