What did Kari Lake claim about immigration on 13 Sep 2024?
Kari Lake, Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Arizona ·
Gallego’s first act in Congress was to propose legislation to BAN the use of the term “illegal alien.”
Gallego's first bill in Congress was a veterans' student-loan tax bill introduced in March 2015. The bill to stop federal agencies using the term "alien" was introduced in October 2015 by Rep. Joaquin Castro, not by Gallego.
H.R. 1581, the Veterans Education Tax Security Act of 2015, was introduced on March 24, 2015 by 'Mr. Gallego (for himself and Mr. Zinke)'. H.R. 3785, the CHANGE Act, which would bar executive agencies from using the term 'alien', was introduced on October 21, 2015 by 'Mr. Castro of Texas' (U.S. Government Publishing Office, bill texts as introduced).
