"U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Katie Britt (R-Alabama) today introduced a bill that would restrict one of the biggest magnets for illegal immigration into the United States.

Graham first introduced the legislation in September 2024."

“After four years of Biden-Harris open borders policies fueling an unprecedented humanitarian and national security crisis at our southern border, it’s clear the American people deserve a Secretary of Homeland Security who is actually committed to securing our homeland.

"U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) yesterday spoke on the Senate Floor to provide an update on the Laken Riley Act. She discussed the path forward for her legislation and called on her colleagues in the Senate to stay focused on delivering safety and security for the American people through this commonsense, targeted, and bipartisan bill.  

“Last week, the Senate took a big bipartisan step toward honoring the life and legacy of Laken Riley—answering her loved ones’ call to action and protecting American families. But that step, no matter how big, was just that—a first step, and there are many to follow if we want to follow through for the American people on their demands to secure our border . . . And to do that, we’ll have to break the cycle we’ve seen over the past year,” said Senator Britt."

Sen. Katie Britt

"U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) recently joined CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper to discuss her bipartisan Laken Riley Act—which would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain illegal aliens who commit theft, burglary, larceny, or shoplifting offenses so they cannot reoffend and commit further crimes—and the need to quickly confirm President Trump’s cabinet nominees.

“The Laken Riley Act is ultimately going to save lives. It is a commonsense piece of legislation, and it actually puts the talk that we have been having over the last four years into action,” said Senator Britt. “ . . . The American people entered a verdict on . . .  November 5th saying we are ready for secure borders; we want our streets and communities to be safe and secure. [The Laken Riley Act] is the first step in doing this. This is a targeted piece of legislation that goes directly to the heart of the tragedy that occurred with Laken Riley  . . .  [Laken] should still be with us. If this piece of legislation had been enacted, she would. Americans are ready for commonsense solutions. They’re ready for us to stop talking and actually yield results.”

Sen. Katie Britt

U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) today praised the Senate’s bipartisan 84-9 vote to advance the Laken Riley Act on the eve of what should have been Laken Riley’s 23rd birthday.

“Today’s vote on the Laken Riley Act is an important step forward in making our country safer, but there’s still more work to be done to get this commonsense legislation across the finish line,” said Senator Britt.“Laken’s horrific murder should never have happened. While we cannot bring Laken back, Congress can and must pass the Laken Riley Act to save American lives and prevent this tragedy from repeating itself. Congress has an obligation to Laken, her family, and to Americans in every corner of our country to get this bill passed and signed into law.”

It’s time to make America safe once again.”

"U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) released the following statement after Laken Riley’s killer was found guilty:

“Laken Riley’s family is finally seeing justice after having lost their loving daughter. While it’s welcome news her killer will be behind bars, we must ensure this never happens again in America. Jose Antonio Ibarra should not have been in the U.S. in the first place, but the Biden-Harris Administration’s weak border enforcement allowed and welcomed dangerous individuals to come here illegally.”

"U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), and 12 of their colleagues introduced the Visa Integrity Preservation Act, which would close a loophole in current law that the Biden-Harris administration exploited in a June 2024 executive action to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants who entered the United States without inspection or overstayed a visa:

“Since day one in office, the Biden-Harris administration has made it crystal clear that they support an open border and providing mass amnesty to illegal immigrants through unlawful catch-and-release programs,” said Senator Blackburn. “Our Visa Integrity Preservation Act would stop the Biden-Harris administration from devaluing U.S. citizenship and making illegal immigration legal."

"U.S. Senator Steve Daines joined his Republican colleagues in introducing the “Visa Integrity Preservation Act,” which will halt the Biden-Harris administration’s violation of the “Immigration and Nationality Act” by ending its policy of allowing immigrants who illegally entered the U.S. or overstayed their visas to regularize their status through obtaining temporary work visas."

“For almost four years, the Biden-Harris administration has waived their magic amnesty wand to create unlawful programs that allow any and every person to enter and stay in the U.S. – legally or not,” said Sen. Cornyn. “By strengthening the laws already on the books, our legislation would root out this massive pull factor while also preserving the integrity of our employment-based nonimmigrant visa program, and I’m grateful to my colleagues for their support.”
