U.S. media outlet Breitbart News reported Monday, Feb. 1, that about 100 House Democrats are urging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to grant Amnesty to some illegal immigrants and to add this agenda to the relief bill for the viral crisis in the Communist Party.
A group of House Democrats, led by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (D-CA), want to put amnesty for illegal immigrants into the Economic Recovery and Jobs Act for discussion. These illegal immigrants, who number at least 5 million, include key migrant workers, those who have received temporary asylum (Temporary Protected Status), and those in Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
Biden‘s amnesty plan is to allow nearly all illegal immigrants, numbering from 11 million to 22 million, to eventually receive U.S. citizenship. At a Time when they are facing mass unemployment, 28 of the most vulnerable House Democrats have so far remained silent on whether they can support Biden’s amnesty proposal. This proposal comes in such an awkward situation that it amounts to muddling through by splitting Biden’s big bill into smaller ones and then riding the fast track to the relief recovery bill that the people all want to pass.
The group of Democratic House members wrote a letter to Pelosi stating, “As you continue to integrate the coronavirus bailout and begin to develop an economic recovery and jobs package, we urge you to provide a pathway to citizenship for essential immigrant workers, immigrants with Dreams, those who have been temporarily sheltered, and their families. Doing so will ensure that a strong recovery is equitably enjoyed by all Americans, regardless of their immigration status, and that they are included. “
Breitbart News believes that amnesty for immigrants would allow millions of foreigners to find work in the U.S. labor market, and that these millions of foreigners would be allowed to compete legally in the labor market with 18 million Americans who are already unemployed and another 6.2 million who are underemployed. Eventually, these foreign immigrants legalized by the amnesty will also have a way to get U.S. citizenship.
House Democrats claimed that amnesty would raise wages for Americans, when it turns out that the labor market only soars when there are fewer foreigners and less competition for Americans.
The House Democrat wrote, “Providing citizenship to undocumented essential workers would raise the wage floor so that all would benefit.”
Breitbart News reports that more than 1.2 million legal immigrants receive green cards each year, another 1.4 million foreign nationals receive visas to work in the U.S., and hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants join the U.S. population. Wall Street, large corporate lobbying groups and large technology companies have been lobbying for years for amnesty for immigrants and higher numbers of legal immigrants, their aim being, to cut labor costs and boost profits for large corporations.
