"We've got to stop all of this flow of dollars that is corrupting our system, empower the American people to do what they do best, and we've got to pause immigration. I introduced a bill to pause immigration because we've got to stop this massive abuse of our system using H-1Bs, using diversity visas. President Trump is exactly right to have frozen the diversity visas, to have stopped that, to freeze the flow from countries of concern."
"Remember that in 1920, when we had a high percentage of people who were foreign born? We froze immigration for 40 years, and our country vanquished the Nazis in Germany, freed the world. We did great things in those 40 years. We can do it again. That's why I introduced legislation to pause immigration. The president's right to do that, and I'm supporting him in that effort."
Rep. Chip Roy urged a pause on immigration, arguing that stopping flows of money and limiting visa programs will reduce systemic corruption and misuse. He cited H-1B and diversity visa programs as examples of alleged abuses and supported the Trump administration's freeze on diversity visas. Roy referenced the 1920s immigration freeze and credited that period with national focus that helped the United States defeat Nazi Germany during World War II. The controversy began amid scrutiny of Rep. Ilhan Omar's reported 3,500% wealth increase, largely tied to her marriage to Tim Mynett, owner of Lake Rose Capital.
