EXCLUSIVE — A senior House Republican is poised to introduce legislation that would ban illegal immigrants from flying into the United States from abroad or from the border without the same documents that the general traveling public must have, the Washington Examiner has learned.

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) will debut the Verifying that All Illegal Aliens Have Legitimate Documents, or VALID, Act on Thursday in an attempt to shut down lawful pathways for immigration that the Biden administration has rolled out and admitted hundreds of thousands of immigrants into the country through.

“While Americans must show proper identification to board their flights, illegal immigrants are not required to do so,” Green said in a statement. “Illegal immigrants should have to comply with the same laws as American citizens, especially when it comes to valid identification. Refusing to enforce these laws poses severe national security risks.”
