Subject: Nullifying Bureaucratic Rules That Facilitate Illegal Immigration
Description: This Congressional Review Act resolution sponsored by Sen. Marshall (R-KS) nullifies a 2022 rule issued by the Department of Homeland Security titled "Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility." This Biden administration rule overruled a Trump administration rule that made it more difficult for the U.S. to admit a foreign migrant into the U.S. if it was found that the migrant would be likely to depend on the U.S. welfare system. CPAC opposes the expansion of the welfare state, opposes measures that incentivize illegal immigration into the U.S., and supported this resolution.
Result: Joint Resolution Passed, 50-47
