Report: Tillis-Sinema Amnesty for Illegal Aliens Is ‘Dead for Now’ in Congress

John Binder 18 Dec 2022

A plan by Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), which included amnesty for illegal aliens and inflating the United States labor market with more foreign workers, is “dead for now” in the lame duck Congress, reports suggest.

For weeks, Tillis and Sinema have floated a plan that would give amnesty to at least two million illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program while also opening the labor market to more foreign competition.

The plan sought to trade illegal and legal immigration expansion provisions for big pay raises for the nation’s Border Patrol agents who have struggled in recent years to deal with record-breaking illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Sinema’s local newspaper Arizona Central reports that the plan has failed to gain traction in the lame duck Congress and is “dead” for the moment:

A last-ditch effort by Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema to provide an estimated 2 million undocumented youth with legal status in exchange for stronger border security measures failed to gain enough support in the U.S. Senate to reach the 60-vote threshold needed to advance legislation.

Are you kidding?  Illegals are already getting amnesty.  I have yet to see a single one arrested and prosecuted for entering the country illegally.

Not supporting this in the first place, but sure not supporting giving up something for nothing in return.

I think we are pretty much f@cked as as a country.  Even if we stop the invasion now, it is to late.

We've been flocked as a country for awhile. The invasion is on purpose -- to destroy this Republic.  El Paso mayor just declared a state of emergency -- coming to your town next.
