Reps. Gosar and Crane Reintroduce Bill Placing 10-Year Moratorium on All Immigration  Washington, D.C. – Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09) issued the following statement after joining Arizona Congressman Eli Crane in reintroducing H.R. 6374, legislation providing a 10-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States: “Last week’s tragic shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. within a few feet of the White House on Thanksgiving eve by Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal is a sad reminder of Joe Biden’s reckless and unchecked open-border policies.  Our immigration system is overwhelmed and unmanageable thanks in large part to the previous administration’s open border policies, poorly vetted asylum claims, and visa overstays. We cannot maintain a lawful immigration process when we cannot control our borders or account for who is entering our country. Fraudulent asylum claims, illicit trafficking, and insufficient vetting present real threats to our national security, our economy, and our citizens. Adversaries are exploiting these failures. Americans are being murdered. Meanwhile, schools, hospitals, law enforcement, and local governments—especially in border states like Arizona—are stretched to their limits. Immigration must be legal, orderly, and in the national interest. Every nation has the right and responsibility to secure its borders and protect its people. I’m proud to join my friend and colleague Representative Eli Crane in reintroducing this legislation, which imposes a 10-year moratorium on all immigration until our system is restored, our borders are secured, and future immigration can occur safely and in a way that strengthens our country,” stated Congressman Paul Gosar. “One of our most important responsibilities as representatives is to protect the citizens of our great nation. Due to the premeditated border invasion under the Biden administration, Americans have faced devastating consequences. I’m proud to join Rep. Paul Gosar in introducing this sensible legislation to restore stability and help reestablish security within our borders,” stated Congressman Eli Crane. ###
