Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of Mr. Roy's amendment to prohibit any government funding for the Biden administration parole-in-place mass amnesty scheme. This parole-in-place executive order clearly demonstrates that the Biden administration is not and has never been serious about securing the border. His process would grant mass amnesty to approximately 80,000 inadmissible alien spouses of American citizens per month. Make no mistake, the timing of this executive order was purposeful. On June 21, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Department of State v. Munoz and concluded that a U.S. citizen spouse does not have a fundamental liberty interest in her alien spouse's admission into the United States. The Biden administration rolled out his executive order directly contradicting this opinion just 3 days prior. The decision was obviously leaked to the Biden administration. This is another example of in-your-face tyranny. This administration is lawless. We must not pass a DHS appropriations bill that funds this mass parole order that would grant amnesty to possibly thousands of criminals and further endanger communities across the Nation, particularly in light of the cynical and lawless timing of this order. Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support the amendment.
