GOP Rep Says New Bill Could Lead To Mamdani’s Deportation

Speaking on Carl Higbie FRONTLINE, Ogles argued that the nation’s immigration system has been undermined by fraud and inadequate enforcement.

“Immigration is an 80/20 issue,” Ogles told the Newsmax TV host.

He blamed many of the current challenges on the 1965 Hart-Celler Act, which overhauled the nation’s immigration laws.

“I have the ASSIMILATION Act, which redoes the immigration framework,” Ogles said.

“After 1965, Hart-Celler was put into place and really creates this mess that has been abused, used and abused. There’s fraud, H-1B visas, the chain migration. So that’s part of it.”

The ASSIMILATION Act would make sweeping changes to legal immigration by increasing the residency requirement for citizenship from five years to 10 years, expanding the “good moral character” standard, strengthening English-language requirements and revising birthright citizenship under federal law.
