During consideration of a consolidated appropriations bill (H.R. 2882), Senator Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) made a motion to offer an amendment to prohibit funds in the bill from being used to fly in illegal migrants under the Department of Homeland Security’s “Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans” (CHNV) parole program and resettle them in towns and cities across the United States.
The Senate rejected Hagerty’s amendment on March 23, 2024 by a vote of 47 to 51 (Roll Call 112). We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the Constitution does not authorize the federal government to facilitate the transportation of illegal migrants into the United States.
