Sensenbrenner's Immigration Enforcement Bill Passes the House

Approval Challenges Senate to Match Effort at Protecting Homeland Security and American Workers

By a 239-182 vote the House of Representatives approved the Border Protection, Antiterrorism and Illegal Immigration Control Act, H.R. 4437, on December 16. The legislation, authored by Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), would make improvements in this nation’s ability to control rampant illegal immigration.

All but eight House Republicans supported the Sensenbrenner legislation, while 42 Democrats joined the effort to enact these homeland security measures. On the eve of the House vote, the Bush Administration also threw its support behind passage of H.R. 418. Pressure from the White House had been instrumental in stripping these same provisions from the homeland security bill last December. In a statement issued prior to final consideration of the bill in the House, the White House stated that H.R. 418 would “strengthen the ability of the United States to protect against terrorist entry into and activities within the United States.”
