Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-Lehigh) is set to hold a press conference on Wednesday, December 13th to address his House bills aimed at tackling illegal immigration issues in Pennsylvania. The event will take place at the Ryan Office Building lobby in the Capitol complex, Harrisburg.

Mackenzie will be joined by other House members, including Reps. Marla Brown (R-Lawrence), Barb Gleim (R-Cumberland), and Milou Mackenzie (R-Lehigh/Montgomery/Northampton). The press conference will focus on a range of proposals put forth by Mackenzie, which aim to address various aspects of illegal immigration in the state.

Some of the key proposals that will be discussed include the requirement for the use of the federal E-Verify system for all public contracts, ICE background checks for firearms purchases, protecting vulnerable children from labor exploitation, ending sanctuary cities, improving the accuracy of voter registration records, and prohibiting noncitizens from voting in state elections.

The press conference is expected to shed light on the rationale behind these bills and the potential impact they could have on the state's immigration landscape. It will provide an opportunity for Mackenzie and his fellow representatives to explain the need for stricter measures and how these proposals align with their goal of ensuring the safety and well-being of Pennsylvania residents.

In a statement, Rep. Mackenzie expressed his commitment to addressing the issue of illegal immigration, stating, "Pennsylvania needs comprehensive measures to tackle the challenges posed by illegal immigration. These bills are a step in the right direction towards safeguarding our communities and ensuring that our laws are upheld."

The event will be livestreamed on RepMackenzie.com/livestreams, allowing interested individuals to watch the press conference remotely. Media personnel and members of the public are encouraged to attend or tune in to gain insight into the ongoing efforts to combat illegal immigration in Pennsylvania.
