A Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report has found that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, during his time in Congress, co-sponsored a bill that would have granted legal status to millions of undocumented migrants and would have placed significant financial strain on America's social programs if it was passed.
The legislation, also known as the 2017 DREAM Act, proposed a pathway to citizenship for over three million illegal immigrants. The bill would have also expanded "chain migration," by allowing nearly legalized individuals to sponsor relatives for permanent residency. (Related: Tim Walz linked to radical personalities with close ties to socialists and Marxists.)
The CBO report highlighted how both direct beneficiaries of the DREAM Act and their family members would have become eligible to receive support from federal social programs like Social Security and Medicaid after contributing payroll taxes after several years. Their inclusion in these programs would have significantly ballooned federal spending on them.
