President Joe Biden says a bill from Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) is merely a precursor to ramming amnesty for millions of illegal aliens through Congress.
During an address at the White House on Tuesday, Biden praised the Senate bill that would expand overall immigration to the United States by codifying his parole pipeline that has freed hundreds of thousands of border crossers into the nation’s interior.
The bill would also increase legal immigration to the U.S., even as Biden has driven the nation’s foreign-born population to nearly 50 million — the largest ever in American history.
Biden suggested that the bill, however, is merely a stepping stone to Democrats’ and the business lobby’s ultimate goal: Amnesty for most of the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens residing in the U.S.
“[The bill] doesn’t address everything I wanted. For example, we still need to pass documentation for people that are already here,” Biden said:
And we’re not walking away from true immigration reform including permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship for young DREAMers who came here when they were children and have been good citizens and contributed so much to our country. [Emphasis added]
Senate Bill Explodes Chain Migration Despite Opposition from 63% Likely Voters
A bill from Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) would explode the level of so-called “chain migration” into the United States despite opposition from a majority of likely voters. Chain migration allows naturalized American citizens to sponsor an unlimited number of foreign relatives for green cards to resettle in the U.S.
Among other things, the bill increases family-based green cards by 32,000 annually. These are green cards that expand chain migration, allowing more foreign nationals to resettle in the U.S. for no other reason than being related to a naturalized citizen.
President Joe Biden, on Tuesday, praised the chain migration expansion:
[The bill] will make legal immigration more efficient and consistent with the values of our nation and our international treaty obligations … for the first time in 30 years … this bipartisan legislation increases the number of immigrant visas for people legally, legally able to come to this country through ports of entry.
