The Biden administration and 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 illegals, 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.
As a potential secondary path, lawmakers would work to pass bills legalizing farmworkers and Dreamers right away, and then move toward a more expansive overhaul.
Sen. Robert Menendez, the New Jersey Democrat, is leading the legislative push in the Senate.
“This plan is not only about fixing our broken immigration system, but building a better one that reunites families, brings the undocumented community out of the shadows and on a path to citizenship, stands up for human rights, addresses root causes of migration, and includes a smart border security strategy,” he said in a statement.
Keep ‘em out! ALL of them!!!!
Unless it’s limited to “11 million” that is an absolute lie.
I’m sure it would legalize all, and it’s probably 30 million or more.
30-50 million more illiterate voters...
What could go wrong?
Republicans will gladly vote for this, while pretending to be concerned about “election integrity” ahead of 2022. We’ll be fighting last year’s battle while the commies are winning the war.
I remember first hearing the “11 million” number twenty years ago.
The USA = The United States of All
This is a new “11 million” ......................
“The Congress shall have power...To establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization”
Allowing millions to cheat their way to naturalization is not consistent with the Constitution.
Can anybody prove that there are more than 11 million illegals?
Everybody in the media, even the conservative media, says there are only 11 million illegals.
All the think tanks and Pew research say 11 million.
How can you doubt that?
Proof please. Just one article saying they are more than 11 million.
Here we go. And there we go.
This will bring another wave of “immigrants” from the 3rd world.. just be patient eventually you too can get on the American free for all gravy train..
Does Biden's proposal explicitly cite that figure - or is the author spitballing here?
I think: The latter. And if Biden's proposal were to cite any specific figure, initially, it would surely "fall by the wayside" in the course of events.
Regards,
More than 11 million will cause the American people to dislike them. You can bet the rent money that this number has been focus grouped to be the lest offensive number they can use.....................
Does he have a solution for the remaining 11 Million+ remaining uncounted illegal aliens? Not sure he even understands the difference, between party line and reality.
Ahhhh, yes. It’s like “just 15 days to flatten the curve”.
What is “reform”?
Only we are not so “united” anymore.
Of course, while Americans freeze to death, all Biden cares about is giving amnesty to 11 million illegals so they can all vote Democrat..permanent majority forever
