U.S. Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN-05) introduced a bill on Tuesday that would make all illegal aliens who have entered the U.S. since January 20, 2021, eligible for expedited removal from the country.
Ogles’ bill is titled the Sending Evading Non-Documented Threats Home Especially Migrants Biden Accepted Carelessly and Knowingly (SEND THEM BACK) Act.
“It is unfathomable that the Biden Administration has so blatantly attempted to utilize the southern border as a means of securing Democrat voters. The United States is being invaded by millions of people every single year. At this point, more people have illegally entered America on Joe Biden’s watch than the entire population of the State of Tennessee,” Ogles said in a statement. “We cannot continue to abuse taxpayers by forcing them to pay for the housing these trespassing criminals. I am grateful for the support of Congressman Clyde on this important legislation to start clawing back our country by removing Biden’s illegal squatters from our land.”
Also grateful to @RepBarryMoore and @RepJeffDuncan for cosponsoring. 🇺🇸

The bill, referred to the House Judiciary Committee upon introduction, is cosponsored by U.S. Representatives Andrew Clyde (R-GA-09), Barry Moore (R-AL-02), and Jeff Duncan (R-SC-03).
“For the last three years, President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas’ intentional invasion has flooded communities across the country with millions of illegal aliens. In addition to securing the southern border to stop the unsustainable influx, we must expel every solitary illegal migrant who accepted the Biden Administration’s invitation to unlawfully enter and reside in our nation,” Clyde said in a statement. “I’m proud to join my friend, Rep. Ogles, in introducing this commonsense legislation that achieves this goal by deporting every illegal alien who entered the U.S. under President Biden’s watch. After all, failure to remove individuals who break the law to enter our Republic — which guarantees liberties to those who obey the law — will ultimately destroy our great nation.”
On Monday’s edition of The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy, Ogles said he hopes his bill will “send a message back to the Senate” demonstrating “what the American people want” amid the chamber’s negotiated emergency spending package for Ukraine, Israel, and the southern border, dubbed as the “bipartisan border bill.”

“SEND THEM BACK”,
NUFF Said.
Drain the swamp. Government must live within its means. ( suggest Biden use his corvette to personally drive the illegal aliens back to whence they came. That would be less ridicules than the bill that the Senate cooked up.
