Secure the Border Act of 2023 Rather than uphold humanitarian principles and protect the rights of all workers regardless of immigration status, this punitive immigration bill focuses on deterrence, detention and removal. It would restrict asylum, reduce protections for children, limit relief options, erode due process, allocate funds for a border wall, cut humanitarian program funding, and support detention and deportation. |

Protecting Taxpayers and Victims of Unemployment Fraud Act Rather than targeting intentional fraud, as the Department of Labor Office of Inspector General recommended, this bill would penalize unemployment insurance (UI) recipients for inadvertent errors in program administration. It would suspend the requirement that merit-based public employees administer the UI program for seven years, undermining program stability and expertise. |

The cuts would jeopardize Medicaid coverage for 10 million low-income Americans, eliminate food assistance for millions of families and cancel debt relief for 40 million student borrowers. The plan also would jeopardize funds for veterans’ medical care, clean energy projects, COVID-19 vaccines and public transit subsidies. |

Congressional Review Act resolution to block the Department of Labor rule relating to “Prudence and Loyalty in Selecting Plan Investments..." This resolution would have overturned a Department of Labor (DOL) rule that permits private sector retirement plan trustees to consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors when selecting retirement investments. The DOL rule is consistent with trustees’ fiduciary duties because prudent investment requires the consideration of all relevant information which includes ESG factors. |

Pandemic is Over Act House Republicans were determined to stop the federal government’s response to COVID-19, despite thousands of lives still being lost every week and ongoing strain on health care workers. The bill would curtail important aspects of the government’s response, eliminating access to testing and treatment, and causing millions of Americans to abruptly lose Medicaid coverage. |
