According to the Dallas Morning News, a plurality of Texas Latinos (49%) oppose the weak border policies of President Joe Biden. Conversely, just 38% of the state's Latinos supported the policies.
Washington Post readers comprehensively disagree with columnist Catherine Rampell's article.
Upon the failure of their latest amnesty push through the controversial Budget Reconciliation Process, Reuters now reports that Senate Dems. are demanding that President Biden grant “deportation relief” to at least two million illegal aliens via executive action.
The Senate Parliamentarian ruled against the Democrats including their 'Plan C' amnesty in the Build Back Better Act that they hope to pass by using the filibuster-proof budget reconciliation process. The plan would have granted work permits and legal status, called "parole," to approximately 7.9 million illegal aliens. But like the Democrats' two prior amnesty proposals, the Senate rules arbiter said the proposal would violate the Byrd rule.
A new survey found that an overwhelming portion of New Hampshire voters oppose the amnesty that their electorally vulnerable Senator Maggie Hassan is supporting in the $2 trillion Build Back Better reconciliation bill before the Senate. The polling shows that Sen. Hassan is putting her political career at considerable risk if she votes to approve the 10-year amnesty in the BBB reconciliation bill.
While the main focus at the moment is on a pending massive amnesty for millions in a budget reconciliation bill, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has voted for a rehearing on an extremely important immigration challenge from Texas that could shake the foundation of the entire Biden immigration policy agenda. Congress passing amnesty is hanging in the balance of the Senate Parliamentarian and whatever tea leaves Senator Manchin is reading on a given day. Meanwhile, the Fifth Circuit will be examining the immigration enforcement priorities issued by the Biden administration. These are “enforcement” in name only as any fair reading of them makes it clear they are designed to drastically reduce the enforcement of immigration laws under the name of resource management.
What motivates the majority of voters who want Congress to lower immigration?
According to the Congressional Budget Office’s score of Democrats’ Build Back Better bill, the plan would grant amnesty, in the form of lawful residence, to more than six million illegal aliens in the United States, allowing the amnestied aliens access to billions in taxpayer-funded benefits and programs.
The ongoing border crisis, which President Biden declared as merely seasonal last spring, has persisted longer and been far worse than we have seen in decades. Given that it has lasted longer and seen far larger numbers than any of his predecessors, it cannot be fairly described as the latest iteration of a long-term problem.
Earlier this week, Border Patrol officers in the Del Rio Sector of the border apprehended more than 250 aliens crossing the Rio Grande in a single group. According to Customs and Border Protection sources, the group was made up predominantly of Venezuelans and Cubans.
