Congressman Wesley Hunt and Senator Marco Rubio have introduced the Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act, a bill that aims to address the issue of aliens whose visas are revoked on security or related grounds. The bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to immediately initiate removal proceedings for such individuals.

In a statement, Congressman Hunt expressed his support for the bill and highlighted the urgency of the situation. He said, "I am pleased to lead Senator Marco Rubio's Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act in the House of Representatives, and I applaud his efforts to tackle this matter in the United States Senate. At a time when Biden's Border Crisis is crippling the American people, we need an all-hands-on-deck approach to solving this crisis, and the Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act is a significant step in that direction. I am proud to lead this effort in the House and urge my colleagues to join me in holding the Biden Administration and DHS accountable to the American people."

Senator Rubio also emphasized the importance of the bill in preventing individuals who have been involved in supporting terrorism from remaining in the country. He stated, "Supporting terrorism disqualifies individuals from having a visa, and we should not allow these individuals to remain in our country based on the whims of this administration. The Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act stands as a decisive measure, ensuring that when a visa is revoked on security grounds, that individual is automatically placed in removal proceedings."

The introduction of the Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act comes at a time when border security and immigration issues are at the forefront of national debates. The bill seeks to address concerns regarding national security and the enforcement of immigration laws. By requiring the immediate initiation of removal proceedings for individuals whose visas are revoked on security grounds, the bill aims to ensure a more robust and efficient system for handling such cases.

As the bill makes its way through the legislative process, Congressman Hunt and Senator Rubio are hopeful that their colleagues will join them in supporting this crucial measure. The Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act is seen as an important step towards holding the Biden Administration and the Department of Homeland Security accountable for ensuring the safety and security of the American people.
