Quigley voted in favor of final passage of H.R. 240, the DHS funding bill passed by the Senate which did not include riders to stop President Obamas unconstitutional Executive Amnesties. Although the House had originally passed H.R. 240 with these riders, the Senate stripped them out, thus fully funding the Executive Amnesties through September 2015. When the House voted on the bill as returned from the Senate, Sen. Quigley supported Executive Amnesty by voting in favor of final passage (and consequently for a temporary shut down of DHS). Funding the Presidents illegal amnesties not only made Congress complicit in the Presidents lawless behavior, it also undermined the lawsuit filed by 26 states to stop implementation of the amnesties. If Congress is unwilling to fight to protect its own legislative powers, why should the courts fight on Congresss behalf? The bill passed by a vote of 257-167.

2015: Voted against Aderholt Amendment to H.R. 240 to defund Pres. Obamas Nov. 2014 amnesty Rep.

2014: Voted to lock in President Obamas executive Amnesty Rep. Quigley cast a crucial YES vote in helping Pres. Obama and Speaker Boehner pass the CRomnibus that appears to fully fund the Obama amnesty through the Social Security Administration, Department of Health and Human Services and other agencies through next September, while funding the Department of Homeland Security part of the amnesty for the next couple of months. Most Democrats voted to kill the spending bill (mainly over other issues in the legislation). The net effect, though, was that Pres.

The amendment, offered by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), passed by a 224-201 vote (6 June 2013).

The DREAM Act would have granted amnesty to illegal aliens under the age of 30 who have been in the United States for five consecutive years and came illegally to the United States before the age of 16.

In particular, the rule prevented the House from considering the Heller, Deal, and Wilson verification amendments to the bill. By supporting the rule, Rep.

The bills main sponsor is Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Cal.).

2017: Cosponsored legislation to nullify immigration enforcement executive order (Lofgren) Rep. Quigley cosponsored H.R. 920, the Protecting Our Border Communities Act of 2017.

Zoe Lofgren (D-Cal.).

2017: Cosponsored legislation to prevent border fence completion (Lujan Grisham) Rep. Quigley cosponsored H.R. 837, the Build Bridges Not Walls Act.

2015: Weakens interior enforcement by expanding visa waiver program (Heck) Rep. Quigley cosponsored Rep. Joe Hecks Jobs Originated through Launching Travel Act, H.R.1401, would allow the Secretary of Homeland Security to waive the maximum refusal rate to allow a certain country to qualify for the visa waiver program.

2014: Voted Against Amendment to Investigate Release of Illegal Aliens Rep. Quigley voted against the King amendment to H.R. 4660, the Commerce, Science, and Justice Appropriations Bill.

2014: Voted against amendment to deprive sanctuary cities of funds Rep. Quigley voted against the King amendment to H.R. 4460, the Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations Bill. This amendment would deprive sanctuary cities of funds due to them from enforcing federal immigration laws. Sanctuary cities are localities that do not notify federal authorities when illegal aliens are arrested, thereby acting as safe harbors for illegal aliens. The amendment passed 214-194.

2012: Voted against an amendment to protect the 287(g) program (Sullivan) Rep. Quigley voted against the Sullivan amendment to the FY2013 DHS Appropriations Bill. The amendment would prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from terminating 287(g) agreements. The amendment, offered by Rep. John Sullivan (R-Ok.), passed by a 250-164 vote (7 June 2012).

2011: Voted against legislation to mandate E-Verify (Smith) Rep. Quigley voted against H.R. 2885, the Legal Workforce Act of 2011, in the House Judiciary Committee. This legislation would replace the current I-9 system by making E-Verify (currently the basic pilot federal employment verification program) permanent and mandatory for all employees via a gradual phase-in process. Specifically, an employer with 10,000 or more employees has 6 months to become compliant after the bills enactment, while employers with 500 to 10,000 employees have 12 months, employers with 20 to 500 employees have 18 months, employers with 1 to 20 employees have 24 months, and agriculture service employers have 36 months. It also provides a good faith defense against liability for an employer or recruiter who uses E-Verify and an error occurs.
This legislation stipulates penalties between $250 and $25,000 for non-compliance depending on the size of the company and number of offenses; pattern offenders can then be charged up to $15,000 for each unauthorized alien. In addition, it requires reverification of employees with limited work authorization and allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to debar a repeat offender from federal contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements. Furthermore, it stipulates fines and a criminal penalty, between 1 and 15 years in prison, for an individual who knowingly provides an authorization number belonging to another individual.
Under this legislation, the SSA (Social Security Administration) is required to send out no-match letters to employers if the name and Social Security number of a current employee do not match. The employer is then required to run these employees through E-Verify. The SSA is also required to send a yearly notification to each owner of a Social Security number that has multiple employees reporting use. Moreover, this bill would then establish a voluntary Biometric Employment Eligibility Verification Program (Biometric Pilot) to record and store biometric information making it easier to defend against identity theft.
Finally, while state and local laws relating to employment verification are preempted by this legislation, states and localities may continue to exercise authority over business licensing laws that penalize employers for not being compliant with an employment verification system. Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) is the bills main sponsor.

2011: Opposed an amendment to keep violent illegal aliens in custody (Cravaack) Rep. Quigley voted against the Cravaack Amendment to the FY 2012 DHS Appropriations Bill. Rep. Cravaacks amendment would prevent the government from releasing convicted violent or dangerous illegal aliens while they are awaiting deportation. The amendment passed 289-131 (2 June 2011).

2011: Supported an amendment to restrict local enforcement (Polis) Rep. Quigley voted in favor of the Polis Amendment to H.R. 2017, the FY2012 DHS Appropriations Bill. Rep. Polis amendment would have removed all funding for the 287(g) program from the bill, thereby preventing DHS from administering the program (effectively killing the 287(g) program). The amendment failed by a vote of 313-107 (2 June 2011).

2011: Voted against an amendment to increase 287(g) funding (Royce) Rep. Quigley voted against the Royce Amendment to H.R. 2017, the FY2012 DHS Appropriations Bill. This amendment would increase funding for the 287(g) program by $1 million (about 18.5%). The amendment passed by a vote of 268-151 (1 June 2011).

2009-2010: Voted against an amendment to require DHS contractors to use E-Verify.
Rep. Quigley voted against the King amendment (253) to H.R. 2892, the DHS appropriations bill. The amendment requires all DHS contractors and subcontractors to use the E-Verify system to verify the employment eligibility of their employees. The King Amendment would have essentially implemented an Executive Order signed by President George W. Bush requiring all federal contractors to use E-Verify that has continually been postponed by President Obama. Use of E-Verify is one of the most effective tools at keeping illegal aliens out of U.S. jobs. The amendment passed 349-84, and the bill was signed into law October 28th, 2009. Rep. Quigleys vote was one to continue allowing illegal aliens in the U.S. workforce.

2024: Cosponsored H.R. 9244 to limit the presidents authority on immigration 

Rep. Quigley cosponsored H.R. 9244, the NO BAN Act, introduced by Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.), legislation that would significantly limit executive authority from being used to prevent future border surges. The bill would restrict the use of 1182(f) that allows the president to suspend immigration for national security reasons.

2023: Sponsored H.R. 1511 to expand amnesties for illegal aliens indefinitely
Rep. Quigley sponsored H.R. 1511, the Renewing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act , introduced by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.). The legislation would create a rolling amnesty by updating the immigration registry to apply to any illegal alien who has been in the country for at least seven years.
