Washington, D.C. - On Thursday, April 10th, 2025, the House passed the Security and Verification Enforcement (SAVE) Act. This legislation takes a critical step in enhancing border security and improving immigration enforcement across the country.
"As an original co-sponsor of the SAVE Act, I'm proud to see it pass the House," said Congressman Ellzey. "This bill strengthens our immigration system by implementing much-needed verification measures. This isn't just about securing our borders - it's about ensuring that we can trust the integrity of our immigration policies and enforcement practices. We have a responsibility to protect the American people, and this bill is one of the ways we fulfill that duty."
The SAVE Act enhances verification systems, modernizes enforcement tools, and gives law enforcement agencies the resources they need to keep our borders secure. It represents a firm commitment to protecting U.S. citizens while upholding the rule of law.
"I was honored to preside over the House when the SAVE Act passed," Congressman Ellzey continued. "This legislation demonstrates the kind of leadership Americans expect from us. With strong bipartisan support, we've moved one step closer to ensuring that our borders remain secure and our immigration system is enforced effectively. I will continue working alongside my colleagues to make sure this bill gets across the finish line in the Senate."
