Sept. 11 (UPI) -- The House of Representatives on Thursday passed the "Stop Illegal Entry Act," which increases potential prison sentences for those who are convicted of repeatedly illegally entering the United States.
The proposed Stop Illegal Entry Act of 2025 is part of the Trump administration's and the GOP's efforts to discourage illegal immigration and related crimes.
Eleven Democrats joined with Republicans to approve House Resolution 3486, 226-197, and sent the measure to the Senate, where a similar measure has been introduced, Roll Call reported.
"The Biden Administration let over 10 million illegal immigrants into the country and failed to prosecute those who defied U.S.immigration law," said sponsor Rep. Stephanie Bice, R-Okla.
