President Joe Biden is lobbying House and Senate lawmakers to increase immigration to the United States months before the 2024 presidential election.
On Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the Senate would again attempt to pass an immigration bill that Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT), Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), and James Lankford (R-OK) negotiated earlier in 2024.
“I hope Republicans and Democrats can work together to pass the bipartisan Border Act this coming week,” Schumer wrote in a letter to Senators.
In a statement on Monday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said the bill “would actually codify many of the disastrous Biden open border policies that created this crisis in the first place,” making it clear that “should it reach the House, the bill would be dead on arrival.”
Still, Biden is lobbying for the bill. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the administration “strongly support[s] this legislation” and asked “every Senator to put partisan politics aside and vote” for its passage.
The bill would increase overall immigration to the U.S. and carefully manage large inflows of migrants into the nation’s interior, even as the foreign-born population has already hit 51.6 million on Biden’s watch — the largest ever recorded in American history.
While increasing the annual number of green cards given to foreign nationals by 50,000, the bill also provides work permits to the adult children of H-1B visa holders, green cards to the tens of thousands of Afghan migrants who have arrived under Biden, expedited work permits to those migrants released into the U.S. interior, and taxpayer-funded lawyers to certain unaccompanied alien children (UACs) and mentally incompetent migrants.

They’re not even hiding the fact that they want to funnel illegal aliens into interior RED STATES. They think US citizens are STUPID. Republicans had better torpedo this malodorous, democrat manure immediately.
An EO does NOT a CONSTITUTION MAKE.
Johnson will put it on the floor and let everyone vote for it.
They’re not “immigrants,” they are illegal alien invaders.
Oklahoma is one of the reddest states in the country.
The voters there need to $hitcan Lankford when the traitor is up for re-election.
