And yet, nearly 22 years later, hundreds of thousands of individuals still take advantage of America\u2019s visa system.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAmerica is a welcoming \u200bnation, but we are also a nation of laws,\u201d Vance said\u2062 in a statement \u2064sent to The Daily Wire. \u201cThere are millions of people in this country who have abused our visa system and circumvented our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-biden-admin-offers-parole-possible-work-permits-some-for-migrants\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Biden Admin Offers Parole, Possible Work Permits Some for Migrants\">legal immigration process<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To help stop this problem, Vance \u200bis introducing\u2063 the \u201cTimely \u2062Departure Act.\u201d Under this bill, \u2062foreigners who enter the U.S. under the visa program would be required \u200cto deposit up to $15,000 to the Department of Homeland Security prior to entering the country. If they exit the country in\u2062 the required amount \u2062of \u2062time, they would be given that money back. However, if they fail to leave, then the\u2062 money is put into an account that can \u201conly be used to fund the detention and removal of illegal aliens.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt is a slap in the face to the working-class Ohioans whose wages are suffering \u2014 I will not \u2063stand for \u2064it,\u201d Vance said of those who take advantage \u2062of America\u2019s immigration system. \u201cI\u2019m proud to introduce this legislation and bring some sanity \u2063to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-recruiting-gop-senators-for-amnesty-deal\/\" title=\"Democrats Recruiting GOP Senators for Amnesty Deal\">broken immigration system<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairus.org\/blog\/2023\/06\/30\/new-report-highlights-visa-overstays\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent report<\/a> from\u2064 DHS, \u2064there were 853,955 overstays in fiscal\u200c year 2022. And that\u2019s on top of the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, who illegally crossed the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica\u200d Vaughn of the Center for Immigration Studies noted\u200c in 2022 that visa overstays \u201care a significant contributor to our nation\u2019s illegal immigration problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vaughan told \u200cThe\u200c Washington Examiner, \u201cICE should be \u200cdirected to expand enforcement programs\u2063 that target overstays.
