Rep. Gill Files Bill to Ban Somali Immigration to the US for 25 Years
Congressman Brandon Gill has announced that he’s filed legislation to slap a 25-year moratorium on Somali immigration.
Gill didn’t hold back, declaring in a post on X on Wednesday, “Mass Somali immigration makes life worse for Americans. That’s why I filed a bill today to stop it.”
The post links directly to an interview with The Dallas Express, in which Gill lays out his case against the “fundamental transformation” of Texas communities through Islamic migration.
“We have a huge problem in Texas, particularly in the Dallas area, with mass Islamic migration,” Gill told the outlet.
Gill cited welfare fraud and high crime rates, Somali immigrants to unapproved school visits promoting Sharia law, and sprawling mosque developments as part of the problem.
“This is a simple recognition that mass immigration from Somalia doesn’t make the United States better off,” Gill told The Dallas Express. “Somali immigrants use welfare at rates that are significantly higher than Americans. They have crime rates that are significantly higher than Americans. That doesn’t do anything to make life better for us.”
