Migrants continue to flood into the United States as President Biden's border crisis rages on, overwhelming communities across the country.

In order to deal with the massive influx of migrants, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced his plan to house illegal immigrants in public school gyms in May 2023.
  While public outcry temporarily put a stop to this school takeover, a dangerous precedent has been set, and other cities, such as Chicago, are reportedly looking at putting similar plans in action. Additionally, New York City is considering housing migrants in school gyms over the summer.
Schools should be focused on providing the best opportunities to their students, who are already suffering from post-pandemic learning loss, not housing migrants because of the Biden Administration's failing policies.

Sheltering illegal immigrants in school facilities poses safety risks to students, denies them access to physical education and extracurricular activities, and disrupts their learning environment.

Rep. Marc Molinaro’s legislation, H.R. 3941, the Schools Not Shelters Act, bans the use of public elementary schools, secondary schools, or institutions of higher education as shelters for illegal immigrants. 

The solution to the massive influx of migrants caused by President Biden’s open border isn’t to house them in schools – it’s to close the border. House Republicans won’t stop fighting to make sure children in schools have access to a safe learning environment and extracurricular opportunities, despite President Biden’s refusal to secure the border.

Investing in Safer and More Efficient Air Travel

The United States has long held the gold standard for air travel and aviation safety; however, due to a lack of innovation and bureaucratic hurdles, other countries like China are starting to pass us by. 
The United States must maintain its global leadership in aviation by constantly advancing technology and improving the traveling experience for passengers.

Investing in our aviation workforce and infrastructure improves the safety of air travel, creates good jobs, and broadens the aviation workforce pipeline. 
The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 expires on September 30, 2023, and it is important to reauthorize these vital programs as well as continue to improve our aviation system to ensure America remains the gold standard.

H.R. 3935, the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act, introduced by Chairman Sam Graves, reauthorizes the Federal Aviation Administration and aviation safety and infrastructure programs for the next five years.

House Republicans are proud to lead this bipartisan legislation, which is critical to secure our global leadership in air travel, support the economy with millions of jobs, make the system safer and more efficient for travelers, and ensure the future of American aviation.
