EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill Says Islamic Migration Is ‘Transforming’ DFW

U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) stated that large-scale Islamic migration is “fundamentally transforming” the Dallas-Fort Worth area in an exclusive interview with The Dallas Express, prior to introducing a moratorium on Somali immigration.“We have a huge problem in Texas, particularly in the Dallas area, with mass Islamic migration,” Gill told The Dallas Express. “It is transforming local communities.”

Gill announced plans to introduce a bill on February 4 to pause Somali immigration to America for 25 years. He cited concerns about fraud, abuse of the welfare system, and a lack of assimilation. He also linked this proposal to the increasing influence of Islam in Texas.

“Somalia is a predominantly Muslim country. This does, I think, speak to that concern,” Gill said. “The people of Texas are concerned – they’re concerned that their communities are being fundamentally transformed by mass migration.”
