President Joe Biden on Wednesday will send legislation to Congress that would offer amnesty and a path to citizenship to the bulk of the 11 million illegal immigrants currently in the United States, teeing up a potentially momentous struggle with Congress.


Biden's proposal would substantially overhaul the immigration system, loosening key restrictions to dramatically increase legal immigration alongside its amnesty provisions. At the same time, it contains only a few gestures at enhanced border security, a sign of the Democratic Party's turn away from the compromise approach that characterized previous immigration reform efforts.


Biden cannot grant amnesty at this scale without legislative action. The bill, along with a host of executive orders, including an end to border wall construction and a reverse on the Trump administration's "travel ban," represents a stark about-face from predecessor Donald Trump, reversing an aggressive immigration enforcement regime and cuts to legal immigration. But those changes are unlikely to be popular with Senate Republicans, who have already blasted Biden's proposal.


That could mean a challenge to Biden's legislative agenda straight out of the gate, as the Republican minority in the narrowly divided Senate stalls Biden's proposed changes. That could, in turn, lead to a major first loss for the new president—or, more momentously, an end to the Senate's filibuster......snip~

Btw The Lame Stream Media and the Deviates keep saying 11 million illegals in the country. Thats 11 million each year from 2007. Yale University did a study and discovered that it had doubled before 2016. Thus validating that the Lame Stream Media and the Democrats outright lied.
