General Resources
WASHINGTON – U.S. Representative Juan Vargas (CA-52) joined his colleagues in reintroducing the Neighbors Not Enemies Act, legislation to fully repeal the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (AEA). Part of the "Alien and Sedition Acts," the AEA is the only remaining law from this deeply problematic set of statutes that targeted immigrants under the guise of national security. While the other three acts have expired or been repealed, the AEA remains in effect, granting sweeping powers to the president to detain or deport foreign nationals from a specific country.
The chief function of Congress is the making of laws. The legislative process comprises a number of steps and, on this page, you can find links to resources and information concerning legislation introduced and considered in Congress. An in-depth description of the legislative process within the House of Representatives is presented in How Our Laws are Made and Enactment of a Law on the Clerk of the House's website. Abridged versions of how laws are made are also available for young learners, grade schoolers, middle schoolers, and high school students.
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Representative Juan Vargas (CA-52) voted against the House Republicans’ spending bill. The measure cuts funding for housing assistance, veterans’ health benefits, and food assistance, while failing to incorporate measures to ensure federal funding is not shut off or repurposed. The bill was crafted by House Republicans against a backdrop of President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE’s continued efforts to illegally freeze federal funding and gut federal agencies.
