Stephanie Bice — Republican Candidate for U.S. House in Oklahoma, 2026

Stephanie Bice voted for the Stop Illegal Entry Act in 2026, which increases penalties for individuals illegally re-entering the United States and those who have committed felonies. She advocates for securing the border, reducing illegal crossings, and empowering border patrol to enforce laws. Bice emphasizes that she is anti-illegal immigration, stating that individuals who enter unlawfully should not bypass legal processes or expect taxpayer-funded services.

“The Biden Administration let over 10 million illegal immigrants into the country and failed to prosecute those who defied U.S. immigration law. These individuals included people from countries designated as state sponsors of terror, with 400 illegal aliens on the Terrorist Watch List being encountered at the border. We must deter future illegal immigration and give our law enforcement and border patrol officers the tools they need to hold dangerous criminals accountable. This is why I was proud to see my colleagues vote to pass the Stop Illegal Entry Act. This legislation increases penalties for illegal aliens who re-enter the United States, as well as those in the United States who have committed felonies. - Stephanie Bice (http://bice.house.gov/media/press-releases/release-house-passes-stop-illegal-entry-act)”
