The U.S. House has passed legislation barring all noncitizens, except permanent residents from acquiring Small Business Administration loans.
The American Entrepreneurs First Act of 2025, which passed in a 217-190 vote Friday, would require the SBA to verify the citizenship status and age of every applicant, codifying reforms recently implemented by the agency.
If the bill passes the Senate and becomes law, the SBA will permanently exclude illegal immigrants, refugees and asylees, visa holders, DACA recipients or nonimmigrants from obtaining taxpayer-funded SBA loans. It would also disqualify companies partially or completely owned by such individuals.
Co-sponsor of the bill, Rep. Beth Van Dunye, R-Texas, told lawmakers Friday that the legislation is “just common sense.” She added that it does not prohibit lending based on applicants’ nationality — as some Democrats have contended — but rather is based on legal residency or status.

The amount of money we pay to support illegal aliens is simply astronomical. From education, to health care, to crime, the money adds up and destroys the budgets for towns big and small. Allowing them small business loans meant for citizens is a slap in the face to hard working middle-class Americans.
If this legislation becomes law, what is to stop some Leftist “Judge” from blocking it too?
If the Deep State can overrule the President, what’s to stop them from overruling Congress?
Congress passes a law restricting Federal Judges. Those same Judges rule it unconstitutional.
Crazy indeed. But at least we’ve got movement on it now.
Waiting for some liberal judge to overturn it.
“Bipartisan! Democrats Join Republicans Supporting Sanctuary City Crackdown”
“A pair of bills cracking down on sanctuary cities passed the House of Representatives this week — with the support of multiple Democrats.
On Thursday, the House passed a bill to withdraw Small Business Administration (SBA) services from jurisdictions that shelter illegal immigrants.
The legislation passed the House in a 211 to 199 vote, with five Democrats joining the GOP: Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Laura Gillen of New York, Don Davis of North Carolina, Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington.”
Gillen is from Long Island and just won her race 51-49 last fall.
.
So 190 people voted against this bill!
Dems are pro-illegals!
