FAIR Firmly Opposed to White House Immigration Reform Framework, Amnesty: ‘We’re Gonna Kill It’

Two representatives for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) held a live online broadcast on Friday, expressing “firm opposition” to the new White House immigration reform framework – its stark change from what the President campaigned on – and called for supporters to help them kill it.

FAIR government relations director RJ Hauman called the framework a “sea change” from President Donald Trump’s campaign platform.

The newly released “White House Framework on Immigration Reform and Border Security” would give a pathway to citizenship for an estimated 1.8 million illegal aliens in the United States over 10-12 years. $25 billion is allocated to a “trust fund for the border wall system, ports of entry/exit, and northern border improvements and enhancements.” The visa lottery would be ended and reallocated “to reduce the family-based “backlog” and high-skilled employment “backlog.””

“It looks like a complete disaster because it’s the same problem you always have. Once you do an amnesty it sends a clear message to the rest of the world that the borders are open,” said FAIR research director Matt O’Brien. He said the other problem is that it would not be 1.8 million people amnestied, but many times that.
