Every U.S. Senate Democrat voted against an amendment proposed by Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) that would have stopped the Biden administration from using taxpayer dollars to fund flights taking illegal immigrants to the nation\u2019s interior.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me cut through the procedural language here,\u201d Hagerty said<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m bringing forward a vote on a very simple question. Do you support Americans\u2019 taxpayer dollars being used to fly illegal immigrants from countries like Venezuela and Haiti into America to be settled in cities and towns near you? If so, vote against me. Vote \u2018no\u2019 to preserve this practice of using taxpayer dollars using taxpayer dollars to charter planes that move and import thousands of illegal aliens into your states.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMake no mistake: President Biden has been secretly flying hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into blue city airports.\u201d<\/p>\n The final vote was 51-47, with the amendment failing to pass.<\/p>\n Tonight every single Senate Democrat voted against my amendment that would stop Biden Admin from using taxpayer dollars to charter flights for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from their countries directly to American towns to be resettled.<\/p>\n Indefensible. pic.twitter.com\/ofTnhSPnY8<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Senator Bill Hagerty (@SenatorHagerty) March 23, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n American Faith reported<\/a> that President Joe Biden has flown hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from Latin American airports to 43 U.S. cities.<\/p>\n The secretive program, concealed from public knowledge, involved a minimum of 320,000 illegal immigrants, acknowledged by the administration as \u201cinadmissible\u201d immigrants, a\u00a0significantly higher number\u00a0than previously disclosed.<\/p>\n Despite facing a Freedom of Information Act\u00a0lawsuit\u00a0from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has not disclosed the 43 airports where immigrants are being unloaded after direct flights from Latin America.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile large immigrant-receiving cities and media lay blame for the influx on Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott\u2019s busing program, CBP has withheld from the Center \u2014 and apparently will not disclose \u2014 the names of the 43 U.S. airports that have received 320,000 inadmissible aliens from January through December 2023, nor the foreign airports from which they departed,\u201d a CIS report<\/a> said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe program at the center of the FOIA litigation is perhaps the most enigmatic and least-known of the Biden administration\u2019s uses of the CBP One cellphone scheduling app, even though it is responsible for almost invisibly importing by air 320,000 aliens with no legal right to enter the United States since it got underway in late 2022,\u201d said\u00a0Todd Bensman, the report\u2019s author.<\/p>\n The direct flight program is in addition to another one that gives CBP One users a green light into the U.S. That program, the report said, \u201chas brought in another 420,000 immigrants from nearly 100 nations from May 2021 through December 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
