WASHINGTON—Today, House Republicans passed two pieces of legislation to strengthen border security, protect American communities, and enhance national security.

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) released the following statement:

“House Republicans continue taking decisive action to restore the rule of law at our borders and put the safety of American citizens first,” Chairwoman McClain said. “I was proud to support these two critical bills that ensure dangerous individuals cannot exploit the immigration system or harm Americans and our communities. Michigan families, and all Americans, deserve leaders who will stand up for law, order, and national security.”

H.R. 875, the Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act, ensures that non-U.S. nationals who commit DUI offenses are deported immediately and denied re-entry to protect public safety.

H.R. 275, the Special Interest Alien Reporting Act, requires the Department of Homeland Security to provide monthly reports on non-citizens attempting illegal entry who may pose national security threats. This transparency is critical for assessing risks and defending America.
