Time and time again, we hear that Vice President Kamala Harris is “addressing the root causes” of the immigration crisis. I have not heard anyone in this administration address what we have on the books — only what is being done in the Northern Triangle. Well, if we have learned anything from the catastrophe at our southern border, it is that conditions in Central America are not the root cause of this problem — it is our own immigration laws.

Right now, we have an immigration system in place that incentivizes illegal immigration. Due to loopholes in our asylum laws, migrants know that once they cross our border, they are home free. The Abolishing the Lottery and Immigration Enforcement Now Act will severely mitigate these problems.
