Breitbart News has documented how the border deal only rewards illegal immigration and encourages more foreign graduates to take jobs from American graduates.
The agreed border agreements are:
1) Increase the number of green cards by 50,000 per year
2) Work authorization for adult children of H-1B holders.
3) Immediate work permits for all illegal aliens released from detention.
4) Taxpayer-funded lawyers for certain UACs and mentally incompetent aliens
5) Power to ban for a limited number of days if encounters exceed 5,000 per day for 7 days.
6) Restrict parole for those who enter the country without authorization between ports of entry
Instead of backing the agreement, Mr. Johnson prompted President Joe Biden will use executive authority to stem border crisis. He said a return to many of President Trump's border policies could help him combat the immigration crisis.
“On his first day in office, President Biden took office and issued the executive order that started this whole mess,” Johnson said in early January. This includes the Remain in Mexico policy, which requires migrants seeking asylum to wait in Mexico until their court date.
