Democrats Want To Push Backdoor Immigration Overhaul And Call It ‘The Budget’; Border Apprehensions Pass 1 Million, On Track To Set New Record While Democrats Plan Amnesty
Democrats Want To Push Backdoor Immigration Overhaul And Call It ‘The Budget’:
Supported by the Biden White House, top Democrats plan to hide immigration measures in their massive $3.5 trillion spending bill. While the plan is still in drafting, it would provide citizenship to various illegal immigrants, such as those brought across the border as minors and farmworkers already residing in the United States. The Hispanic Caucus and many other Democrats also want to tuck a section into the bill that would provide green cards to “essential workers,” including COVID health workers.
“The tactic — which just months ago seemed like a long shot even to liberals — is now widely seen as President Joe Biden’s best shot at confronting one of Washington’s policy leviathans and delivering on a decades-long party promise,” Politico reported.
Clearly, this isn’t just the backdoor scheming of a couple of amateurs. “A powerful coalition of House Democrats has recently backed the gambit of tackling immigration through the budget, including leaders of the Progressive Caucus, the Hispanic Caucus and the Black Caucus,” Politico noted. “In the Senate, Majority Whip Dick Durbin, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are among the strongest proponents.”
Durbin confirmed to Politico that Democrats want to include citizenship for some immigrants in the budget bill, but added the “decision has not been made” how many illegal immigrants the provisions would include. —>READ MORE HERE
Border Apprehensions Pass 1 Million, On Track To Set New Record While Democrats Plan Amnesty:
Recently updated data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection showed border apprehensions have surpassed one million for the 2021 fiscal year, for the first time since 2006. The number of apprehensions at our border will almost certainly surpass the 2006 totals, however, with our current fiscal year not ending until September 30, 2021.
The United States is also currently on track to set a new record for the number of apprehensions on our southern border, surpassing the records of 1.69 million and 1.67 million the country experienced in fiscal years 1986 and 2000.
The last time we had more than 188K monthly apprehensions on the the southwest border was March of 2000. We had more than 1.6 million total apprehensions that year, an all-time record, which we’re on pace to surpass this year.
But yeah, Biden has the border under control, sure. pic.twitter.com/nZaf4jf3vf
