Joe Biden’s Massive Amnesty Bill is Here: The legislation will be known as the "U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021"
Townhall ^ | 02/18/2021 | Katie Pavlich

Democrat Senator Bob Menendez and a number of other leftist lawmakers on Capitol Hill will officially introduce a massive amnesty bill backed by the White House and President Joe Biden Thursday morning. The legislation will be known as the "U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021" and rewards at least 11 million people who came to the country illegally. From the Associated Press

While the plan offers one of the fastest pathways to citizenship of any proposed measure in recent years, it does so without offering any enhanced border security, which past immigration negotiations have used as a way to win Republican votes. Without enhanced security, it faces tough odds in a closely divided Congress.

The bill would immediately provide green cards to farm workers, those with temporary protected status and young people who arrived in the U.S. illegally as children. For others living in the U.S. as of Jan. 1, 2021, the plan establishes a five-year path to temporary legal status, if they pass background checks, pay taxes and fulfill other basic requirements. Then, after three years, they can pursue citizenship.

Recent reports also show the Biden administration stripping legal terms like "illegal alien" from government documents. 

Department of Homeland Security officials have been directed to stop using words such as “alien” and “illegal alien” from communications with the public or within the agency when referring to people who aren’t US citizens in an effort by the Biden administration to recast immigration terminology.

The planned wording change, recounted in a memo obtained by BuzzFeed News, is the latest flashpoint in a yearslong debate over the way immigrants are described in federal laws and by the agencies that oversee immigration.

The term "alien" is found within US Code and is regularly referenced in the immigration system and in court rulings to describe everyone who is not a US citizen. In recent years, however, the word has been wiped from the California Labor Code and the Library of Congress after advocacy efforts.

Meanwhile, Republicans are sounding the alarm about the consequences of Biden's sweeping executive actions on illegal immigration and warning the policies are tying the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 

??JUST NOW??
@RepJamesComer & @Jim_Jordan sent a letter to @ICEgov expressing concerns over reports the Biden Administration instructed the agency to no longer take action against dangerous criminal gangs or serious offenders. This radical policy places Americans at risk. ?? pic.twitter.com/6MBQOnTKta— Oversight Committee Republicans (@GOPoversight) February 17, 2021

Or more precisely, the “U.S. Sinking Ship Act of 2021”.

That is the plan.

It’s been the plan for 30 years.

The Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)

Yeah. Come on it all terrorists, all third world thugs, all current members of the RED Chinese commie army, all Iranian terrorists, all ISIS members, all of Latin America, all of the Mexican drug cartels, all the commie Marxist’s members of the gangs in South America, all of the Russian mobsters, and any other of Uncle joeStalin-biden’s gangs of thieves, robbers and thugs and murderers. Yup, THIS is what is now going to invade Amerikastan. Uncle joeStalin-biden will move them all in. Give them FREE everything, housing, medical, food, clothing, car, money in the bank, pension, just for one easy payment EVERY ELECTION. Vote Marxist’s CommieDimocrat for all your free stuff. The Marxist’s want our borders gone. Calling all the military and veterans racist hate mongers adds fuel to their ideas of maybe calling on the UN to send in troops to keep LAW AND ORDER and even asking the UN to SEND IN THE RED CHINESE ARMY to keep the PEACE!! Killing American citizens will not cause the Red Chinese one bit of problems. They will gladly kill the hated Americans that they have been brain washed throughout the years to hate. Even calling on the Russians or even the Iranians would not surprise me. The Marxist’s ultimate wet dream (sorry ladies) of taking away our guns will allow the Reds to do as they wish and not come to harm. They will even INVENT that some of us have horded other guns and we shot at them out of hate. Yup, this is the end of the Republic as founded. I don’t see another Republican president, ever. We will be totally lucky to even get back one of the houses of Congresscritters. The FIX will be in on all future elections. They got away with it this time and that will only embolden them for the future stealing of elections. I’m sure they are diligently working on it even now.

We have the GOP to thank for it.

The Democrats could not have stolen the election without their assistance.

Same as they could not have installed the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia without their assistance.

Assistant Democrats is all they are or will ever be.

That is correct.
Trump did not lose.
The election was rigged against him.
The Uniparty wanted him gone.
He was a threat to all of their evil plans for America and was returning power to the citizens and they weren’t going to let that happen.

The reason Trump lost was because the election was stolen.

The Republic was over at noon on Usurpation Day when ALL of our elected AND appointed abrogated the Constitution by swearing in a British subject/Kenyan/Indonesian non-natural born citizen.

Trump caught them flat footed in 2016 and we had a chance at a restoration.
They tried everything to get him out of office sooner, but had to settle for a rigged election.

“”He doesn’t care about America.””

Which makes him no different from any other congresscritter!

I still believe that his grandmother knew what she was talking about when she stated that she was present at his birth in Kenya...

Ain’t gonna happen; Biden is illegitimate president and thus any EOs are void and null. PDJT will be reinstated 3/21.

RE: PDJT will be reinstated 3/21.

What makes that date so significant?

Sorry. Your math is confusing me.

In 2016 Trump won these voters 47-46 (93% of voter result)
In 2020 Trump lost these voters 48-55 (103% of voter result!)

Trump did BETTER by a point 47 to 48. The other side, amazingly, increased support 9 points from 46 to 55. If there can only be 100% total shouldn’t the max difference be 48-52 or 45-55?

Please educate me further. I was told 40 years ago in HS that I had a “learning disability” in math.
