But Congressman Wittman voted against Biden/ Democratic Build Back Better infrastructure bill for Broadband Funding even after knowing it would pass with enough Democratic votes.In reality every Republican but one voted against it.
As Wittman Watch has written Congressman Wittman and his Republicans really DO NOT want to correct immigration/asylum problems.
That is because Republicans know that cheap immigration slave labor is needed by billionaire investors to power American agricultural systems like slaughter houses and industrial farming.
Here are the verbatim bullet points of the Bipartisan Biden/Senator Langford asylum reform bill that Trump Republicans rejected prior to the 2025 election.
Overview of Lankford's Immigration Bill
Senator James Lankford co-authored a significant bipartisan immigration overhaul aimed at addressing border security and the ongoing migrant crisis. This bill is notable for its comprehensive approach to immigration reform.
Key Features of the Bill
Funding: The bill allocates $20.23 billion specifically for border security and fentanyl interdiction efforts.
Border Closure Triggers:
The bill includes provisions to close the border if migrant encounters exceed certain thresholds:
4,000 encounters in a seven-day period
5,000 encounters in a seven-day period
8,500 encounters in a single day, which would trigger an automatic closure.
Goals of the Bill
Enhance Border Security: The legislation aims to strengthen border security measures to manage the increasing number of migrants effectively.
Address Fentanyl Crisis: A significant focus is placed on combating the influx of fentanyl and other illegal drugs across the border.
Streamline Asylum Process: The bill seeks to improve the efficiency of the asylum process, reducing the backlog of cases and ensuring timely hearings.
This immigration bill represents a critical step towards reforming the U.S. immigration system, addressing both security concerns and humanitarian needs.

Congressman Wittman blatantly lies to his voters yet they continue to vote for him.
