The Republican-controlled House of Representatives has approved an amendment proposed by Rep. Lauren Boebert to shield homeowners from “socialist Biden policies.”
According to a news statement from her office, “Today, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s amendment requiring the Government Accountability Office to publish a report on its website exposing the costs and process associated with the Biden administration’s socialist housing policies passed the House by voice vote with unanimous bipartisan consent. Boebert’s amendment will help protect homeowners from Biden’s disastrous scheme to raise fees for people with higher credit scores to subsidize those with lower credit scores.”
“My commonsense amendment provides transparency for the American people and exposes the costs and arbitrary processes used by Biden’s minions to ram through his socialist housing policy that penalizes responsible homeowners to subsidize high-risk individuals. Unelected bureaucrats in Washington should not be able to impose these un-American regulations on hardworking middle-class families. This is a gross overreach and will ultimately exacerbate the growing inflation problem in this country,” according to Boebert.
“Joe Biden’s decision to subsidize failure makes more sense when you realize he’s hired Mayor Pete, Karine Jean-Pierre, and Kamala Harris. Raising housing fees at a time when mortgage rates are at the highest level in years thanks to the Biden-Pelosi spending spree will make housing less affordable and result in higher mortgage costs and reduced access to credit for most borrowers who are working hard and doing their best just to get by,” Boebert continued.
“Over the past year of Biden’s economic failures, mortgage interest rates have doubled. To make matters worse, Biden rolled out new socialist housing changes that forced borrowers with good credit scores to pay more per month to subsidize borrowers with low credit scores. For instance, on a $400,000 mortgage, a borrower with a credit score of 680 would be forced to pay $40 more per month to subsidize similar borrowers with worse credit scores,” she explained.
“Congresswoman Boebert’s amendment to Congressman Warren Davidson’s Middle-Class Borrower Protection Act passed the House by voice vote with unanimous, bipartisan consent. The bill ultimately passed the House with bipartisan support, 230-189. Congresswoman Boebert voted for the Middle-Class Borrower Protection Act since it scraps Joe Biden’s disastrous policy of subsidizing failure at the expense of responsible homeowners,” the release continued.
WATCH:
Boebert made news last month when she declared her intention to require every member of the House to publicly state their position on President Joe Biden’s alleged policies and conduct while in office.
BREAKING: I am bringing my articles of impeachment against Joe Biden to the House Floor in a privileged motion, meaning that every Member of Congress must vote on holding Joe Biden accountable.

Boebert has stated that Biden continues to operate carelessly when it comes to the border with the United States, neglecting to protect Americans from the influx of lethal fentanyl and criminal activity. She has also stated that the president has made no progress toward easing the strain on the nation’s immigration system.
“Biden intentionally ceded command & control of our border to cartels. His dereliction of duty caused the deaths of over 900 Coloradans from fentanyl, enabled sex trafficking, & allowed an invasion,” she posted on Twitter. “I brought my articles of impeachment up via a privileged motion to force a vote.”
Boebert charged that Biden had neglected his “constitutional duty to secure our southern border” and threatened to file the articles of impeachment if the GOP leadership didn’t.
“Given the severity of the violation of Joe Biden’s constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of the president, United States to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, this is something that we must do with our majorities in the House of Representatives. This is our duty because Joe Biden has neglected the constitutional duty of the office of President of the United States,” she declared.
“I introduced the articles of impeachment in the last Congress and had fully intended to introduce them this Congress, but I was also giving some other committees and leadership the opportunity to lead on this,” Boebert said, explaining the delay.
“It’s about Joe Biden’s failure to secure the southern border,” the Colorado Rep. stated to Fox News.
Back in May, Biden, under pressure from even those in his own party, actually reinstated a Trump-era border rule.
Internal documents obtained by CBS News showed that the Biden administration established a broad restriction on asylum that it intended to use to boost the speedy deportation of immigrants who enter the country through Mexico after the deadline for the Title 42 pandemic-era emergency provision.
With less than 48 hours before the termination of Title 42, the regulation was published, and hundreds of American asylum officials received enforcement training. The regulation’s finalization and the instructions sent to the asylum officers who put it into effect.

The rule represents the government going back to the border policy of the Trump administration. If migrants do not apply for refugee status in another nation, such as Mexico, while coming to the southern border, they are ineligible for U.S. protection.
Biden went back against his word in the 2020 debates where he said, “This is the first president in the history of the United States of America that anybody seeking asylum has to do it in another country. That’s never happened before in America.”
