SBA

Tomorrow, Congresswoman Ginny Brown Waite will present an amendment to H.R. 3867, the Small Business Contracting Program Improvements Act. This amendment will work to ensure that only qualified applicants will be eligible to receive Small Business Administration loans. The amendment is designed to have ICE work with the SBA so only those individuals who are lawfully in the United States will receive loan and grants.

Congresswoman Brown-Waite stated, “America is the land of opportunity and small business owners make up the backbone of our economy,” said Rep. Brown-Waite. “However, Congress cannot continue to encourage and foster small businesses in our nation if we do not first take care of American citizens and those who are here legally. My simple amendment will ensure that Small Business loans and grants are going to those who followed the immigration rules we have in place.”
