House Homeland Security Committee chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.) has unveiled a bill that would prohibit illegal aliens from boarding commercial flights into and within the United States without valid identification.
“Allowing illegal aliens to abuse commercial airline travel is unacceptable,” Mr. Green said in a statement on April 11, in which he announced the draft House legislation, titled the “Verifying that all Aliens have Legitimate Identification Documents Act,” or the “VALID Act.”
“While Americans must show proper identification to board their flights, illegal aliens are not required to do so,” Mr. Green continued, adding that the measure is a direct challenge to the Biden administration’s decision to validate the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) One mobile app as an acceptable form of identification for air travel into and across the United States.
“Every American needs to show ID to enter our country,” Mr. Lee said in an April 11 statement. “So why do we make it simpler for illegal aliens to come in than for our own people?”
While blaming President Joe Biden and his administration’s policies for “encouraging illegal immigration and compromising our nation’s security” amid record numbers of illegal border crossings, the Republican senator said that the VALID Act would close “the loopholes that have allowed 200,000 illegal immigrants into the country unchecked.”
What Does the VALID Act Do?
The new draft measure prohibits the acceptance of CBP One as a legal form of identification for illegal immigrants at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints and for boarding planes.
It also bars the use of a Notice to Appear (NTA) or a Notice to Report (NTR) as legal forms of identification for use at TSA checkpoints and for boarding airplanes by illegal immigrants.
The VALID Act also prohibits aircraft from foreign countries that accept the above documents as valid forms of identification from flying into the United States.
