This will go nowhere in the Senate, but it shows the priorities of the Democratic Party, which is to take care of those who are unlawfully present in the United States instead of taking care of U.S. citizens
HOUSE PASSES MASS AMNESTY BILL WHICH WOULD GIVE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP
The House passed a vote Tuesday that would grant protection from deportation to illegal immigrants and give millions a path to permanent citizenship status.
The American Dream and Promise Act passed the House with a vote of 236-187. The legislation was brought forward by California Democratic Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard and will provide permanent status to illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as minors, as well as to those living in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status, Newsweek reported.
This all comes as apprehensions of immigrants have increased every month since January. There have also been over 100,000 encounters at the southern border in both March and April, making it so the border crisis is on track to be the highest it has been in a decade.
The legislation would make it so 2.1 million immigrants “would be eligible under the measures for Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States as children.â€
Unsurprisingly, there are zero measures included meant to control the border or other methods of illegals showing up. This seems to be their version of a “clean bill”, which many Democrats have been calling for.
The House Judiciary Committee criticized Democrats for pushing the bill forward, listing a number of reasons why amnesty should not be granted to illegal immigrants.
“H.R. 6 would provide green cards to criminals, including gang members and people who committed potentially serious crimes as juveniles, with multiple DUI convictions and with misdemeanor firearms-related convictions. Dems are prioritizing mass amnesty over public safety,†The House Judiciary Committee also said in a tweet.
Trump has already threatened to veto the legislation, however, it’s doubtful that Mitch McConnell brings it to the Senate floor. Unless he wants to highlight during debate how unserious the Democrats are when it comes to stopping people from illegally coming to this country.
