Feenstra Votes to Ban Illegal Immigrants from Accessing SBA Funds

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the American Entrepreneurs First Act, which would require proof of American citizenship to access funds from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

“President Trump’s Small Business Administration is delivering for American small businesses by increasing access to capital, lowering costs, and reviving the entrepreneurial spirit in the United States. This support for creditworthy enterprises should be exclusively reserved for American citizens – not illegal immigrants,” said Rep. Feenstra. “It’s why I voted to protect the integrity of SBA loans and ban illegal immigrants from receiving any funds from the SBA. These dollars should only benefit hardworking American business owners, their employees, and their communities.”
