The last widespread amnesty, signed by former President Ronald Reagan in 1986, invited a surge of immigration to the United States, allowed terrorists to stay in the country, and inflated fraud, according to a new study. This month, President Joe Biden unveiled the details of his amnesty plan which would legalize the roughly 11 million to 22 million illegal aliens currently in the U.S., fly deported illegal aliens back to the country to receive amnesty, and increase legal immigration levels, among other things. A study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) suggests Biden’s amnesty would result in the same issues past amnesties have spurred: Increasing immigration, displacing American workers, and adding to national security concerns. “You don’t need to be Albert Einstein to figure out that the massive amnesty the Biden administration is proposing will not produce any results other than those we have seen with past amnesties—only exponentially larger and … [Read more...] about Study: 1986 Reagan Amnesty Invited a Surge of Immigration, Terrorism, Fraud

Biden Revokes Trump-Era Order Suspending Green Cards for ‘Risk’ Immigrants
On Wednesday, Biden issued an executive order that revoked another one previously issued by former US President Donald Trump which barred immigrants from getting green cards if they were judged to "present a risk to the US labor market." The measure, which was an extension of several similar past measures but made in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, "does not advance the interests of the United States," Biden said in the proclamation . "To the contrary, it harms the United States, including by preventing certain family members of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents from joining their families here. It also harms industries in the United States that utilize talent from around the world. And it harms individuals who were selected to receive the opportunity to apply for, and those who have likewise received, immigrant visas through the Fiscal Year 2020 Diversity Visa Lottery," it adds. The order also directs the secretaries of Homeland Security, Labor and … [Read more...] about Biden Revokes Trump-Era Order Suspending Green Cards for ‘Risk’ Immigrants
Biden Signs Orders to Abolish Trump Immigration Policies and Reunite Separated Families on Border
US President Joe Biden has ordered to establish an inter-agency task force for "reunification of families" along the southern border, setting a 120-day deadline to submit an initial report. "With the first action today, we're going to work to undo the moral and national shame of the previous administration that literally, not figuratively, ripped children from the arms of their families, mothers, and fathers at the border with no plan, none whatsoever, to reunify the children, who are still in custody, and their parents", Biden said in the Oval Office on Tuesday. Biden said the second executive order he signed will address the root causes of migration to the US southern border. The third executive order directs a full review of the Trump administration's immigration policies. In 2018, former US Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the United States had adopted a "zero-tolerance policy" for immigration offences that required prosecution of all illegal entry referrals at the … [Read more...] about Biden Signs Orders to Abolish Trump Immigration Policies and Reunite Separated Families on Border
Biden to Revoke Trump Orders on Immigration, Border Wall, WHO Walkout, Climate Change on First Day
President-elect Joe Biden will issue a spate of executive orders on day one of his administration, namely returning the country to the World Health Organisation, reinstating adherence to the Paris Climate Accord, and stopping the construction of President Trump's pet project – the southern border wall with Mexico, the Democrat's transition team has stated . © Photo : White House / Shealah Craighead President Donald Trump walks along the completed 200th mile of new border wall on June 23, 2020, along the U.S.-Mexico border near Yuma, Arizona. One of the orders will specifically halt all ongoing wall construction operations and initiate a review of the legality of its funding via a national emergency declaration. The latter, in turn, will be revoked after Trump used it to finance the wall after failing to secure funding through the US Congress. The Democrat also plans to reverse a number of Trump's immigration policies, such as a travel ban on certain Muslim … [Read more...] about Biden to Revoke Trump Orders on Immigration, Border Wall, WHO Walkout, Climate Change on First Day
