IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT, IOWA ATTORNEY GENERAL BRENNA BIRD SAID PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS REFUSED TO ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAWS AND IOWA IS DOING THE JOB FOR HIM BY PASSING THIS LAW.
BIRD SAYS “BIDEN’S OPEN BORDERS HAVE NOT ONLY CAUSED RECORD ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, BUT THEY HAVE OPENED THE DOOR FOR DRUG CARTELS, HUMAN TRAFFICKERS, AND SUSPECTED TERRORISTS TO ENTER OUR COUNTRY.
PATRICK VALENCIA, THE STATE’S DEPUTY SOLICITOR GENERAL, TOLD THE JUDGE STATES HAVE POLICE POWER TO ENFORCE FEDERAL LAWS AND IOWA’S LAW WOULD NOT AFFECT IMMIGRANTS WHO’VE BEEN GRANTED LEGAL STATUS TO STAY IN THE UNITED STATES.
WINGER SAYS WHILE FEDERAL LAW GIVES PROTECTION TO THOSE WHO’VE BEEN DEPORTED AND RETURN WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE IOWA LAW DOES NOT HAVE THAT EXCEPTION.
IMMIA3 OC…….THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.” :12
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS SUING TO BLOCK SIMILAR ILLEGAL REENTRY LAWS IN TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA.
