The "No Coyote Cash Act," cosigned by four other Senate Republicans, would fine coyotes the worth of their transportation at the border and sentence them to up to one year in prison. Illegal immigrants who transport people or goods are also subject to deportation.

"Any person who transmits money, property, or any item of value through interstate commerce … shall be fined the value of the transmitted money, property, or item of value, imprisoned not more than year, or both," the bill states.

Coyotes charge upward of $10,000 to smuggle immigrants across the southern border depending on where their country of origin and method of transportation is. The charges have made for a booming business for coyotes as border encounters have hit all-time highs during the Biden administration.

The total number of encounters is nearing 5 million, according to U.S. Custom and Border Protection data.

"President Biden’s failed open border policy continues to incentivize the crisis at our border," Rubio told Fox News Digital. "This commonsense bill targets one of the root causes of illegal migration. We must ensure those who pay cartels, smugglers and coyotes are convicted for enriching criminals’ pockets through human smuggling."

The legal provisions in Rubio’s bill would be amended to the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The bill is cosigned by senators Roger Marshall, R-Kan.; Mike Braun, R-Ind.; Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo.; and Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

Rosemary Jenks, the director of government relations for NumbersUSA, a group that advocates for lower levels of immigration, said Rubio’s bill would close a long-abused loophole in the U.S. immigration system.

"For too long, the U.S. has looked the other way as individuals paid cartel smugglers to bring their friends and family to the U.S. illegally, which has only led to an increase in chaos at the border and victimization of vulnerable populations," Jenks told Fox News Digital.

These drug Cartels are socking away this cash in banks somewhere.

Confiscate the billions of dollars and use it to deport EVERY illegal alien, asylum liar, TPS and refugee back home.

Shut this unrelenting invasion of our country down.



ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN"OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

DEPORT THEM WITH THEIR UACs

What a bitter Joke Senator Rubio is.

He proposes a plan to crack down on illegal immigration he helped inspire in the first place through his notorious support for Amnesty for millions of illegals as a member of the Gang of Eight!

They all talk out of both sides of their mouths.

These LIARS are telling us there are only 12 million illegal aliens here, in 2023, 10 years later! They are full of it. More like over 35 MILLION. Then add in the millions of refugees, visa overstays, TPS, and asylum liars.

Term Limits.

No Amnesty #8 and no DACA.

We need to shut down all immigration. We are being crushed and bankrupted.




S. 744: The "Gang of Eight" Bill


April 16, 2013



April 16, 2013

Bill: S.744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act | Read the entire bill.

FAIR Analysis:

In April 2013, Senators Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Michael Bennet, Bob Menendez, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake, and Marco Rubio introduced S.744—the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act—otherwise known as the Gang of Eight amnesty bill.

If passed, S.744 would grant amnesty to the approximately 12 million illegal aliens in the U.S. and dramatically increase legal immigration, while doing virtually nothing to improve border security or immigration enforcement.
