Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) is introducing legislation to prevent President Joe Biden from allowing migrants at the United States-Mexico border to bypass Transportation Security Administration (TSA) rules while flying throughout the country.
Green, who serves as chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, issued the “Verifying that All Illegal Aliens Have Legitimate Documents Act”, also referred to as the VALID Act, earlier this month.
Under the Biden administration, migrants from the U.S. Mexico border can use DHS documents as their official identification to present to TSA agents at airports.
For example, a migrant who recently crossed the border can use arrest warrants, deportation orders, Notices to Appear in immigration court, and federal custody booking records as their ID at TSA. Meanwhile, Americans are required to present official government IDs to pass through TSA agents at airports.
Should illegal migrants living in the United States be allowed to bypass screening in airports without official government ID?
