GOP Looking To Close Biden Loophole

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A rising GOP star is leading the charge to shut down what many conservatives call a dangerous immigration loophole left wide open by the Biden administration.

Rep. Addison McDowell, R-N.C., introduced legislation Wednesday to end the abuse of immigration parole, a process he says has allowed over 2 million illegal immigrants to enter the U.S. without proper vetting — overwhelming public resources and putting national security at risk.

“President Biden blew open the side door to America,” McDowell said. “This wasn’t immigration reform — it was a mass-entry scheme with zero accountability.”

🚨 Biden’s Parole Policy Enabled Mass Illegal Immigration

McDowell’s bill, the Preventing the Abuse of Immigration Parole Act, directly targets a controversial policy used by former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Under this Biden-era policy, over 2.8 million foreign nationals were granted immediate parole, bypassing traditional visa screening, background checks, and public safety protocols.

“This was never about helping real asylum seekers,” said McDowell. “It was about creating a backdoor to flood our towns with unvetted foreign nationals — without the knowledge or consent of the American people.”

🔒 What the GOP Bill Would Do

McDowell’s legislation delivers a strong, America-first approach to restoring immigration integrity:

• Terminates the parole authority abused under Biden.
• Bans parole for nationals from hostile nations like China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, and Cuba, unless cleared by the Secretary of State.
• Caps parole approvals at 3,000 per year, starting in 2029, preventing future abuse by left-wing administrations.
• Re-establishes vetting, accountability, and lawful immigration pathways.

“Parole isn’t a rubber stamp,” McDowell said. “We’re not going to allow bureaucrats to bypass the law and endanger American lives.”

🧱 Conservatives Back the Bill to Secure the Border

McDowell’s legislation has already earned support from leading House conservatives:

• Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX)
• Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO)
• Rep. Abraham Hamadeh (R-AZ)
• Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI)
• Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC)
• Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV)
• Rep. Nicholas Langworthy (R-NY)

Each has voiced concern about Biden’s open-border policies and the strain on American communities — from soaring healthcare costs to rising crime in border states.

⚠️ A Wake-Up Call for American Voters

With the 2024 election behind us and conservatives taking the lead, McDowell’s move signals a growing GOP focus on real border reform. As illegal crossings and parole abuse continue to dominate headlines, the pressure is mounting for Washington to act.

“This bill is about protecting American families,” said McDowell. “We cannot afford another four years of border chaos. It’s time to put the safety of our citizens first — and shut down this loophole for good.”
