Babin Introduces Student Privacy Protection and Safety Act
- Completely Invalidates Obama’s Mixed-Gender Restroom Mandate -
|
I believe the Administration’s transgender bathroom policies would jeopardize the privacy and modesty of every child in America. That's why I've introduced the Student Privacy Protection and Safety Act (H.R. 5294), which completely invalidates the Administration's directive and ensures local schools, as well as public and private colleges, are not forced to carry it out. I refuse to stand by as the federal government throws all common sense and decency out the window and forces local schools to permit a teenage boy who ‘identifies’ as a girl to use changing rooms, locker rooms and bathrooms with five year-old girls.

| Babin Op-Ed in the Washington Examiner: "Europe's failed 'open door' policies must not be repeated in America" |
There is a real and imminent threat that the United States faces from jihadists infiltrating the refugee program and exploiting the gaps in our immigration policies. The terrorist attacks in Brussels (Belgium), Paris (France), and San Bernardino (Calif.) — as well as the foiled plot earlier this year by a Houston-area refugee — clearly demonstrate what is at stake. And the United States must look no further than Europe to see the dangerous path we are on.
That's why I introduced the Resettlement Accountability National Security Act (H.R. 3314) last July, which would place an immediate moratorium on all new refugee resettlements in the U.S. pending subsequent Congressional review and approval of more stringent and enhanced security screenings. It's time to put an end to political correctness and take the necessary steps to secure our borders, protect American citizens and ensure radical Islamic terror is not imported into the United States. If we do not act, we will undoubtedly be confronted with the same level of terror plaguing Europe – resulting in the deaths of many Americans. To read the full op-ed, please click here.

| House Approves Legislation to Combat and Prevent the Spread of the Zika Virus |
The House on May 24th passed the Zika Vector Control Act, which removes federal regulatory barriers so that it is easier for our local communities to combat the spread of Zika through mosquito control. Unfortunately, the President has threatened to veto the bill – despite it being consistent with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)’s recommendations.
It’s astonishing to me that those who do not support this legislation would put government paperwork and permitting fees ahead of killing infected mosquitoes and protecting human health. On May 18th, the House also passed the Zika Response Appropriations Act (H.R. 5243), which responsibly funds and fully pays for the federal government’s fight against the Zika virus. In addition, last month, the House passed S. 2512, which was signed into law by President Obama on April 19th, to accelerate the development of a vaccine and treatment for Zika.
