Biden Admin ‘Strongly Opposes’ GOP Bill To Block Migrant Housing On Federal Lands | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The White House signaled its opposition on Monday to a House Republican bill designed to stymie migrant housing on federal lands as pressure builds for Washington to tackle the border crisis.

    A statement from the Office of Management and Budget said Biden administration "strongly opposes" the legislation that prohibits the use of federal funds to provide housing to "certain noncitizens, including migrants seeking asylum," on properties under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Forest Service.

    "The Administration opposes this legislation because it would significantly restrict the ability of the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture to make decisions regarding the appropriate uses of their lands and resources, even in emergency or other situations," the statement added.

    Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) introduced the legislation, which has several GOP co-sponsors, in August and it advanced out of the House Natural Resources Committee in the weeks that followed.

    The bill contains a clause that nixes a lease agreement with the federal government allowing New York City - which has resorted to budget cuts amid the ballooning costs of taking care of the estimated 10,000 asylum-seekers arriving every month - to use Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn as an emergency shelter for migrants.

    "Not only did President [Joe] Biden create this crisis but he unfairly wants to continue taking tax dollars and public spaces like Floyd Bennett Field from citizens to perpetuate it," Malliotakis said in a statement reported by the Staten Island Advance.

    The congresswoman added that she expects and looks forward to the GOP-led house passing her bill this week and sending a "clear message" to Biden and leading New York Democrats that people in her district "have had enough of their self-created migrant crisis that they can and should end today."


    Though the legislation would likely face long odds in the Democrat-controlled Senate, the expected passage of the bill in the House this week comes as Congress grapples with a partisan debate over whether to link funds to national security priorities in places such as Israel and Ukraine to U.S. border security reforms.

    "Last month's total southern border encounters marked the busiest October in decades of [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] records. And the harsh reality of the Biden Administration's border crisis continues to impact millions of Americans in cities across the country," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in remarks pushing for a swift remedy.

Understanding that there are two firm positions concerning the Open Border Crises, but many realties regarding its current, and, or projected real impacts to the functioning, sustainability of this Constitutional Republic: What position below best represents what you know to be true regarding this impactful policy?

  The United States' must continue the Executive initiative of Open Borders until a Democratic Congress can codify full Demographic Inclusion by keeping the Biden /Harris Open Borders policy in place.

  Our United States' borders are sovereign just as are our self-governed citizens, where borders must be maintained, monitored and defended, which is the position of core Republicans.

  I am in favor of Open Borders to make my America more of a global community; however, the federal government must now fix problems that "Red State" governors have caused in our cities.

  I do NOT favor the Democratic Socialists' disruption of the cultural fabric of my Representative Republic, and there will be Treasonous Hell to Pay when the certain calamity begins in earnest.

The previous poll on Eastern NC NOW showcased what are many of OUR Constitutional Republic's certain obstacles to remain viable, where the top encumbrance to that continuance as a functioning Republic was the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border. Understanding this overwhelming concern to real America citizens: Do you believe it important to challenge the veracity of those legislated concerns of Democratic Socialists by transporting Illegal Migrants to their Sanctuary cities, counties and states for their direct care?

  Yes; test the depth of their "compassion" by giving Democratic Socialists an opportunity to enact all Sanctuary provisions in their communities to test how much they truly do care.

  No; the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border Project is designed to only inundate "Red States" to begin their Demographic Upheaval for the benefit of we Democratic Socialists, our politics.

  I generally do NOT care about politics, but it is fun watching abject hypocrites squirm; maybe I will start getting more involved.

Should the Institutionalized Corruption of the Biden /Harris Administration, in this separate instance the Open Border Policy of our Sovereign Southern Border, be not only tolerated, but sanctioned by the raising of local spending by local politicians to pay for these now visible and known effects of rampant, and out-of-control Illegal Immigration?

  Yes, it is a kind thing to do, and a way that our county, our state can aid in this tremendous effort toward local federal foreign aid; and now, thankfully, in great abundance.

  No, our Constitutional Republic WILL NOT continue to exist, as our United States of America, if we do not control our sovereign borders, to protect our citizens, to keep them solvent and safe.

  I only consider what is topical and popular since my friends, too, only care to do the same.
