Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, asserts the proposed bill will accelerate the administration's deportation targets, with a goal of 3,000 arrests daily. Immigration and Customs Enforcement set new single-day arrest records on Tuesday and Wednesday, with over 2,000 apprehensions.
"Under the Biden Administration, the American nation experienced a full-scale invasion threatening our national security and sovereignty. With millions of illegal aliens in the U.S. due to Democrats' open-border policies, firm actions are essential to remove them from our country," notes Miller, who also serves as a Homeland Security advisor for the White House.

Millions of people were estimated to have entered the country illegally during the Biden administration, primarily through the southern border.
