HR 1792 - No Tax Dollars for the United Nation's Immigration Invasion Act

Overview

Bill Number: HR 1792

Title: No Tax Dollars for the United Nation's Immigration Invasion Act
Status: Introduced in House
Introduced: March 03, 2025

Purpose and Intent

This bill aims to prohibit the use of federal funds to support or participate in any United Nations program or initiative related to immigration or refugee resettlement. The stated rationale is to prevent U.S. taxpayer money from being used to facilitate what the bill's sponsors describe as an "invasion" of illegal immigrants into the country.

Key Provisions

• Prohibits any federal agency or department from using appropriated funds to:
  • Provide funding or resources to the United Nations for any immigration or refugee programs
  • Participate in the development, implementation, or oversight of any UN immigration or refugee initiatives
  • Assist in the resettlement of refugees or immigrants admitted through UN programs
• Requires the President to notify Congress within 30 days if any federal funds have been used for these prohibited purposes in the past year
• Authorizes the Attorney General to take legal action against any federal entity found to be in violation of the funding restrictions

Affected Parties and Impacts

If enacted, this bill would impact several areas:

• The United Nations and its various immigration and refugee programs would lose access to U.S. government funding and resources
• Federal agencies like the State Department and Department of Homeland Security would be prohibited from cooperating with or supporting relevant UN initiatives
• Refugees and immigrants admitted to the U.S. through UN resettlement programs could face disruptions or reductions in federal assistance and services

The bill's supporters argue it will reduce U.S. involvement in what they view as problematic UN immigration policies. Critics contend it would undermine international cooperation on humanitarian issues and isolate the U.S. from global migration management efforts.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on March 3, 2025 and has been referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee for consideration. No further action has been taken yet. If it passes the House, it would then need to be approved by the Senate and signed into law by the President to take effect.
