Mills Introduces Bill Denying Citizenship to Illegal Aliens

Representative Cory Mills (R-FL) has introduced legislation preventing illegal aliens from ever obtaining American citizenship.

Naming it the No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act, Rep. Mills' bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act's Section 312 to include the following line: "No alien who enters the United States unlawfully shall be eligible for naturalization, notwithstanding any other provision of the immigration laws."

"Under the Biden administration, we saw more than 10 million encounters at our borders, a crisis exacerbated by reckless catch-and-release policies that allowed criminals who broke our laws to remain in the United States," said Rep. Mills in his press release, adding, "President Trump has made it clear that anyone that tries to unlawfully undermine, exploit, or bypass our immigration system is a criminal. The No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act will ensure these criminals will never be granted U.S. citizenship; that privilege will be reserved for those who respect our laws."

Representative Josh Breechen (R-OK), the bill's primary cosponsor, said, "America is a nation of laws, and if we allow those laws to be subverted by illegal aliens who have no constitutional right to be here in the first place, then we will cease to be a nation."

"The No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act prevents illegal aliens from being rewarded with citizenship after breaking our laws. It’s time we get back to common sense policies that restore law and order to America," Rep. Breechen concluded.

The Florida Congressman's bill comes hot on the heels of his Prohibiting Automatic Rights to Enter National Territory (PARENT) Act, which restricts birthright citizenship solely to children born to at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

As Mills previously explained, the PARENT Act builds upon President Donald Trump's executive order, which ended birthright citizenship and has been challenged in court.

"Building on President Trump's efforts to protect American sovereignty, this bill ensures birthright citizenship is reserved for those with a legal right to be here. It's past time to restore integrity to our laws and put American citizens first," Mills said of the PARENT Act.
