Last week, the House of Representatives passed two pieces of amnesty legislation – H.R. 6, the American Dream and Promise Act, and H.R. 1603, the Farm Workforce Modernization Act.
Taken together, these bills seek to put 4.5 million illegal aliens on a pathway to citizenship without a single meaningful improvement to immigration enforcement. While their future in the Senate remains uncertain, if any immigration bill has a decent chance at reaching President Biden’s desk, it’s the farmworker amnesty.
It’s worth noting that the Farm Workforce Modernization Act passed not only with near-universal Democratic support, but also a significant number of Republicans. It received a whopping 30 Republican votes, with 10 members co-sponsoring the legislation. Now, after receiving well-deserved heat, some of those representatives are defending their votes in favor of this amnesty, even going as far as telling the American people that these bills were not amnesties at all.
Freshman Rep. Peter Meijer (Mich.), a member of the billionaire Meijer superstore family, released a Twitter video in which he defended his vote in favor of H.R. 1603, the farmworker amnesty. This comes after he promised the residents of Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District that he would vote to “secure the borders.” On his campaign website, Meijer promised to “reform our broken immigration system so that it prioritizes merit-based immigration.”

I see the Freshman from Michigan has been sworn in barely 2 months and has already broken every promise he made....sounds like he’s already an establishment Republican looking for a leadership position...
GOP needs to be replaced and flushed.
Only a few have my vote, the rest can go straight to hell.
This is why I’m done with politics and politicians. There’s only one way to change things.
I will be done with the Republicans should they vote to pass Amnesty in any form for any reason. That is my hard line in the sand and has been since the Reagan era. Now let the RINO’s and never Trumpers whine away.
So where is the list of the thirty traitor Republicans.

Spit.
Going to happen anyway by re-electing Assistant Democrats in R jerseys who have as their top priority giving the Democrats a permanent majority.
We had work permit farm workers for decades. It worked well. I don’t believe that part is the overall amnesty vote but I’d have to look.
This is the ‘lesser of 2 evils’ hard at work.
