Florida’s Senators, Byron Donalds: Do Not Give Asylum to CCP Members

Last week, Florida’s two U.S. senators–Republicans Marco Rubio and Rick Scott–and U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., threw their support behind a proposal to “prohibit members of communist or totalitarian parties, like the CCP, from being granted asylum in the U.S.”

Rubio introduced the “No Asylum for CCP Spies Act” with Scott as one of the co-sponsors. Over in the U.S. House, U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, is championing the bill with Donalds as one of the co-sponsors.

“This year alone, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has encountered an estimated 40,000 Chinese nationals along the U.S. northern and southern border. The Biden Administration has left the border wide open, allowing potential spies from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to enter the U.S. and take advantage of America’s generous immigration system,” Rubio’s office noted.

“The American people are facing the repercussions of the Biden Administration’s open border policy, which is creating chaos and putting our communities at risk. We don’t know who’s illegally entering our nation. This presents an opportunity for the Chinese Communist Party to further take advantage and threaten our democracy and national security interests,” said Rubio.

“Communist China’s murderous leaders and the thugs that carry out the brutal agenda of Xi’s regime cannot be trusted and cannot be allowed to ‘seek asylum’ in America as a front for spying. The No Asylum for CCP Spies Act is good for our national security and actually protects those who have legitimate asylum claims from being hurt by bad actors. I urge my colleagues for their support of this good bill,” said Scott.

The bill was sent to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.

“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is our nation’s greatest foreign adversary. Due to the Biden administration’s complete and utter failure to secure our borders, migrants from all over the world are being encountered at both our northern and southern border, with record numbers of Chinese nationals claiming asylum. Asylum is intended to be a form of protection that allows an individual to remain in the United States instead of being removed from a country where they will face persecution. If these individuals claiming asylum in the United States are members of the CCP, they are not in fear of returning to Communist China. They are here to infiltrate our society, steal our intellectual property, gain our country’s secrets, and report back to Xi Jinping. I am proud to work with Senator Rubio and my other colleagues in introducing this critical piece of legislation to keep Communist Chinese spies out of our country,” said Nehls/

“Throughout the first two years of Joe Biden’s presidency, our nation has watched as his administration has systematically destabilized our borders with disastrous, dangerous, and impractical policy. This unfolding humanitarian crisis has resulted in an estimated 40,000 Chinese nationals illegally entering our country. America is not and will never be a safe harbor for members of the Chinese Communist Party. I am proud to partner with Senator Rubio in making clear that Chinese Communists are ineligible for US immigration benefits,” said Donalds.

Nehls’ proposal was sent to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee.
