In a move that has many critics up in arms, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has granted amnesty to 850,000 illegal immigrants, further exacerbating concerns about the Biden administration’s border policies. With just days away from being outgoing President Joe Biden’s last week in office, critics argue that this decision, which effectively shields hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from deportation, signals an alarming disregard for the rule of law and sets a dangerous precedent for future immigration enforcement. With the U.S. southern border already overwhelmed by record numbers of illegal crossings, conservatives contend that this blanket amnesty acts as a stab in the back to President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans.

The amnesty will benefit Venezuela's Cuba-backed dictator by allowing 600,000 of his opponents to remain employed in U.S. jobs rather than protesting in the streets of Venezuela. Illegal immigrants can also send U.S. dollars back to their families in their home country.

Under Biden’s pro-illegal immigration czar, the number of migrants with TPS amnesty has tripled to around one million, including many Haitian immigrants invited to take advantage of U.S. jobs and housing in Springfield, Ohio.

Not a problem. TPS expires. Trump can focus on getting the felons and gangsters out and the others will be there as their permits time out. A million sounds like a lot but out of 20 million it’s just a bump in the road.

since mayorkas has no authority to do this, T$ should come out and say “as of 12.01pm on the 20th, this is repealed and you’re all going to have to go back”

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has granted amnesty to 850,000 illegal immigrants

"USCIS: USCIS is part of the Department of Homeland Security and grants amnesty to those who meet federal standards. USCIS reviews applications, performs background checks, and processes documentation."

So 850,000 illegals suddenly have applications and passed background checks?
Doubting that...

“Doesn’t have the authority.”

He is supposed to carry out the laws of the country, not make them.

I hope so too, but the GOP just isn’t interested in that kind of thing. They are afraid of media coverage and not appearing bi-partisan.

Mayorkas will probably escape any semblance of accountability.
