WASHINGTON (WOWO) – Indiana 3rd District Representative Jim Banks has introduced the End Executive Branch Amnesty Act, a significant immigration bill aiming to curb what he calls “abuses” of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and the CHNV Parole Program by the Biden-Harris administration.

The bill proposes restrictions on immigration parole, a ban on the CBP One mobile app as an official form of identification, and new policies for the handling of unaccompanied minors.

Banks expressed concern over the impact on smaller communities like Logansport, Indiana, where an estimated 5,000 Haitian migrants have reportedly strained resources, leading to issues in housing and schooling. Pointing out what he perceives as unchecked policy changes by the current administration, Banks argues his bill will help restore legislative oversight to immigration decisions and reduce incentives for undocumented migration.

The bill’s text is now available for review by clicking here.

Since the early 1900s, Congress has abdicated it’s authority and responsibility to the Executive Branch. THE IS AN ONGOING DISASTER IN ACTION. We have utter tyranny and decisions have been given to the Executive Branch that should have been kept in the hands of the Representatives of The People. This is a fundamental abrogation of the US Constitution. Yet all of them take a sacred oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Take a little time to read our founding document. Then consider how the various executive departments fit into the 18 enumerated Powers found in Article I, Section * of the Constitution. Nearly ALL of the presence scheme are not to be found there.
