Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told Fox News on Tuesday that Republican Senate leadership is preparing to betray voters over President Joe Biden's migrant flood.
Paul said Democrats are threatening Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) with cutting off aid to Ukraine, saying, “It's a sales pitch. We're going to continue to allow illegal immigration.” added to.
They're saying, “Oh, we might let 5,000 people enter the country illegally a day and then try to stop the next 5,000 people a day.” It's completely sold out.
But that's because people like the senator. [Mitch] McConnell cares more about Ukraine than borders or anything else. He wants to send $60 billion of your money to Ukraine. He is more aligned with Biden on this issue. On the issue of money, sending money to Ukraine and around the world, Mr. McConnell is much more aligned with Mr. Biden than with Republicans.
Paul's comments about the 5,000-per-day limit refer to a so-called “trigger” in the draft agreement that would reimpose Title 42 legal barriers if the number of immigrants reaches 5,000 per day.
But at 5,000 people per day, that means 1.8 million immigrants a year. This influx amounts to one immigrant for every two births in the United States.
Under the draft plan, these 1.8 million illegal economic immigrants would be allowed to enter the United States through legal loopholes such as asylum and parole. Once admitted, they will be able to get the jobs and wages that ordinary Americans need and compete for the housing that American families need.
This influx of 1.8 million people comes on top of the annual influx of 1 million legal immigrants and many temporary visa workers. If passed, this deal would effectively double the nation's immigration rate under the guise of a “border security” bill.
Additionally, Senate Republican leaders could also allow Biden to import hundreds of thousands of foreign workers through a new “parole” pathway created by his own lawmakers. They could also fund Mr. Biden's $14 billion request to house and hide growing numbers of poor immigrants during the 2024 election.
The Republican Party's betrayal of voters on immigration is likely to be fatal for the party's future, especially as former President Donald Trump is expected to build his 2024 campaign around the issue.
The pro-Biden immigration influx is highly unpopular, with half of Americans and a supermajority of Republicans describing it as an “invasion” that burdens and threatens Americans and their communities.
Democrats, by contrast, are struggling to win Republican approval for legal tools and funding to manage, rather than reduce, the huge influx of immigrants.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told reporters on Jan. 9, “I think we as Democrats have an interest in providing the administration with tools to help improve border management.” Ta.
We are not interested in taking anything away from the government. [the] Tools used today to better manage borders. Therefore, when we talk about this topic of parole, it is very important to understand that it is used today as a way in which the administration can better manage the flow. [of migrants] Planfully.
So far, the administration has managed the influx of immigrants upward in order to boost stock prices for investors, but not to reduce the damage to the pockets of ordinary Americans.

Some Republican senators have called for a cap on the number of immigrants who can enter the United States through the parole loophole.
“There are several ideas about how to deal with it, but the one that seems to have a lot of support is something along the lines of how we deal with refugees and other categories of people. It's kind of a restriction,” Sen. John Thune (R-South Dakota) told reporters Thursday.
“There is a very strong opinion in our meeting that this parole issue needs to be addressed in some way… [Democrats] Please understand that we are serious about this,” he said. Said According to TheHill.com, reporters said: Thune, who represents Sen. McConnell, did not suggest a figure for the cap.
Republican House leadership, led by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana), has repeatedly said the path to parole must be closed.
Biden's pro-immigrant Border Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, has already used the parole loophole to bring about 700,000 economic migrants to American-populated areas for work and housing.

All told, Mr. Mayorkas has invited approximately 5 million undocumented immigrants to enter or remain in the United States through a variety of illegal, legal, and semi-legal routes.
His goal is to improve the status of immigrants and help investors, despite the enormous wallet damage to ordinary Americans.For example, in December 2022, Mayorkas Said ElPasoMatters.org:
We look to our northern partners with more agile immigration systems. [national government’s] current needs. For example, Canada needs 1 million workers and has agreed to admit 1.4 million immigrants in 2023 to meet labor needs that Canadians cannot meet themselves. We are bound by outdated laws that do not match current laws. [corporate] needs.

FWD.us is rallying pro-immigration groups to minimize parole restrictions, as there are signs Biden's lawmakers may embrace them.
“None of this is what we should be doing,” said Todd Schulte, president of FWD.us. Said Left-wing site, TheMessenger.com. “There is certainly the potential for some truly harmful deals to take place, and that would be tragic and frightening.”
Schulte said Biden should not agree to rules requiring the deportation of immigrants or the detention of asylum seekers. “If we do this, a lot of people are going to die,” he said.
Mr. Schulte's all-out campaign to protect the parole loophole appears to have overridden Democrats' desire to block it.
Sen. James Lankford: “There are some unresolved issues that we thought were resolved.'' Said Semafor.com asked about parole on January 8th.
Republican senators may not be trying to rein in Mr. Mayorkas' CHNV parole program, which imports 360,000 Americans a year for the jobs and wages it gives Americans.

Rather, they may simply be trying to rein in the CBP One program, which is used at the border to grant parole to perhaps 50,000 people a month, or 600,000 people a year.
“Lankford said after the Senate Republican meeting that parole talks are focused on the CBP One app, which allows immigrants to make an appointment at a port of entry and receive a ticket to enter the U.S. and receive parole. We can aim to receive it.” Tweet from January 9th By Bloomberg Government.
The CHNV program was created in 2013 to import workers from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (possibly in violation of a 1996 law). These dedicated, low-wage immigrant workers are welcomed by many CEOs because it means they don't have to hire, pay, train, and manage less productive Americans who have dropped out of the labor force.
