President Joe Biden has announced that the bill from Sens. James Lankford (R-Okla.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), and Kyrsten Sinema (Iowa-Ariz.) will move through Congress. He said this was just a prelude to imposing amnesty for as many as 1 million illegal immigrants.
In a speech at the White House on Tuesday, Biden praised a Senate bill that would expand overall immigration into the United States by codifying the parole pipeline that has released hundreds of thousands of border crossers into the interior.
The bill would also increase legal immigration to the U.S., even as Biden pushed the nation’s foreign-born population to nearly 50 million, the highest in U.S. history.
But Biden suggested the bill was just a stepping stone toward Democrats and business groups’ ultimate goal: amnesty for most of the 11 million to 22 million people living in the United States illegally.
“[The bill] It doesn’t live up to everything I wanted. For example, we need to give documentation to people who are already here,” Biden said.
And we are not far from real immigration reform, including permanent protections and a path to citizenship for young dreamers. They came here as children, are good citizens, and have contributed much to our country. [Emphasis added]
Biden said Congress should “pass this bill and get it to my desk right away.”
For decades, Democrats and Wall Street-linked corporate special interests have tried to force amnesty for millions of illegal aliens through Congress.
The amnesty would deplete labor costs by swelling the workforce with millions of newly legalized foreign workers, reducing costs for companies while reducing U.S. workers and middle-income workers. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has previously revealed that this will result in lower wages.
In 2020, the CBO found that “immigrants, regardless of their country of birth, place downward pressure on the wages of relatively low-skilled workers already in the country.”
Similarly, amnesty would increase demand for housing and push home prices higher for working and middle-class Americans who have endured soaring interest rates.
A 2013 study by Michael Bloomberg-funded New American Economy, which promotes amnesty, found that explained The importation of tens of millions of immigrants over decades has helped raise the cost of housing for the next generation of homebuyers by $3.7 trillion, but how does that figure account for the creation of “housing wealth”? Did it spin?
