2020s senatorial press release: on Immigration


Catherine Cortez Masto: Joined on bill to reverse funding diverted for border wall

Cortez Masto joined other Senators to introduce the Restoring Military Priorities Act of 2020. The bill would reverse and restore the Department of Defense's (DoD) recent short-sighted and dangerous transfer of $3.8 billion to be used to build part of President Donald Trump's ineffective border wall. The bill also reduces DoD's transfer authority so that DoD cannot try to divert additional funding for the wall.

Nathan Dahm: No citizenship for "illegal alien anchor babies"

Dahm filed Senate Bill 1226 to prohibit illegal alien anchor babies from receiving citizenship in Oklahoma. "Birthright citizenship was never the intent of the 14th Amendment," Dahm said. "We remain one of the last western civilized nations that grants citizenship to anchor babies."

The bill requires each birth certificate include the citizenship of the parents. If neither of the parents are citizens of the United States, the child will not be granted U.S. or Oklahoma citizenship.
