Subject: Prohibiting the Armed Forces from Supporting Enforcement of Immigration Laws along the Southern Border
Description: Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) amendment to the National Defense Authorization bill, which would advance an open borders agenda by prohibiting the Armed Forces from supporting enforcement of immigration laws along the southern border. Specifically, this amendment would prohibit the President from deploying members of the Armed Forces to the U.S. southern border to support the enforcement of immigration laws, even in administrative roles. While ACU opposes the use of combat troops for domestic purposes, we support the use of non-combat units to assist in protecting the border.
Result: Amendment Rejected, 179-241
