A Texas Republican congressman is taking unprecedented action to protect American taxpayers and communities with legislation that would impose a 25-year moratorium on immigration from Somalia, marking one of the boldest immigration reform proposals since Trump returned to the White House.
Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) introduced the sweeping bill on Tuesday, citing Somalia's persistent failure to assimilate immigrants into American society and the rampant abuse of federal benefit programs that has cost taxpayers millions of dollars. The legislation represents exactly the kind of America First thinking that propelled Trump to victory and gave Republicans control of Washington.
"This is about putting Americans first and stopping the endless flow of people who refuse to embrace our values while bleeding our social safety net dry," a source familiar with the legislation told reporters. The bill comes as the Trump-Vance administration accelerates its mass deportation agenda and cracks down on immigration fraud nationwide.
Patriots across social media are rallying behind Gill's proposal. "Wonderful bill! Let us all get behind this! End fraud at least from Somalia!" posted Twitter user @Heather67149252, capturing the sentiment of countless Americans fed up with decades of failed immigration policies.
Another supporter, @Wolfgang1947, echoed what many are thinking: "Great idea… We should've thought about that a long time ago." Indeed, while establishment politicians spent years ignoring the obvious problems, it takes fresh conservative leadership to propose real solutions.
The timing couldn't be better. With Republicans finally in control and Trump's deportation machine ramping up, Congress has a golden opportunity to pass meaningful immigration reform that puts American citizens first. Somalia has been a notorious source of benefit fraud, with organized schemes costing taxpayers untold millions while immigrant communities fail to integrate into American society.
This isn't about discrimination – it's about common sense. When a country consistently produces immigrants who can't or won't assimilate and instead drain public resources through fraudulent schemes, why would we continue the failed policy?
Will establishment Republicans have the backbone to support Gill's legislation, or will they cave to inevitable Democrat hysteria and media attacks? The American people are watching, and they've made their expectations clear.
