(The Post Millennial)—Senator Jim Banks has introduced legislation that would impose harsher penalties on individuals who overstay their visas, treating them as equivalent to illegal border crossings.
The proposed legislation would categorize overstaying a visa as “illegal entry,” similar to entering the country illegally. Under current law, the civil penalty for overstaying a visa starts at $50. Banks’ legislation would raise that amount to between $500 and $1,000 for a first offense, with fines doubling for each subsequent violation.
The bill would also make visa overstaying a misdemeanor offense, carrying up to six months in jail for first-time violators and up to two years for repeat offenders.
According to data from the Department of Homeland Security, 565,000 individuals overstayed their visas during fiscal year 2023.
The proposal follows a recent attack in Boulder, Colorado, allegedly carried out by Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national who overstayed his US visa. Soliman is accused of targeting a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration over the weekend, attacking participants with Molotov cocktails and injuring several people. He has been charged with a federal hate crime, and the FBI has described the incident as a “targeted terror attack.”

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
