The proposal is expected to include an earned pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants and expand the refugee resettlement program.

The Biden administration and Hill Democrats are expected later this week to release an immigration reform bill, multiple sources familiar with the planning tell NBC News.

The legislative text of the “U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021” will reflect the immigration priorities that President Joe Biden unveiled on his first day in office. His proposal includes an earned pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants, expands the refugee resettlement program and deploys more technology to the Southern border. There are additional protections that are being considered in the legislation, such as asylum processing in home countries for minors, expanded benefits for DREAMers and ending the public charge rule.

While previous attempts at massive immigration reform have failed under both Republican and Democratic administrations, the Biden White House has signaled support for breaking the legislation into pieces.

and deploys more technology to the Southern border.

What good will technology do without a way (and the will) to slow them down, arrest them and deport them? Without those, all the technology is just a way to watch crowds of people running by like a live cam at the Boston Marathon.

Gee, I dont recall this being the prime issue in the campaign.

The Thief in Chief would never lie or conceal his real goals, right?

Perhaps it is time for a Constitutional Amendment laying out th rules for citizenship, stating who is and who isn’t, and the only way to obtain citizenship. This would put an end to the legislature just will nilly changing the rules as they need.

Requirements like
Proof of legal entry into the country
Resident for 5 years
Must speak English and be able to pass a rudimentary English test.
No Anchor babies.
Must have paid taxes for the 5 years prior to applying for citizenship
Must pass a Constitution test for both the Federal and State of Residence.

I am sure there are others I haven’t thought of, but this would be a good start

To Earn Citizenship you must:
1) Swear to vote DemonicRat for the next 150 years.
2) Give 10% of everything you earn to the “Big Guy” or his heirs for life.
3) Yearly participation, free of charge, to a riot of the Party’s choosing.

There are more than 60 million illegals here—including ‘Visa Overstays’.

Yup-—I remember the pics of those ‘family value’ males with their middle fingers in the air & the other hand bouncing their gonads in many a pic.

Threatening every car passing by.
