I am not sure if this is the exact bill that is referenced; but it appears to have the same title.

Backdoor Amnesty for Illegal Aliens in 2020 NDAA
While many Americans have been led to falsely believe that the impeachment actions in Washington, D.C., have log-jammed the U.S. Congress, this belief is far from the truth. The impeachment news has been used to create a smokescreen that has suppressed much of the news coming out of Washington, D.C., regarding other nefarious actions that are going full-speed ahead behind the smokescreen.
Thanks to alert news reporting by Breitbart, a whistle was blown on a section of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, also known as the NDAA, which was signed into law by President Trump last Friday. This section, along with numerous other sections, was included in the final version of the NDAA bill, but wasn’t in the bill as introduced in the House as H.R. 2500 nor was it in the bill as introduced in the Senate as S. 1790 in June. As Breitbart reported on December 20, the 2020 NDAA “contains a camouflaged provision allowing any U.S. president to amnesty millions of illegal immigrants.â€
The odious section of the bill, Section 1758, is hidden under a deceptive title.
SEC. 1758. PAROLE IN PLACE FOR MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES AND CERTAIN MILITARY DEPENDENTS.
(a) IN GENERAL — In evaluating a request from a covered individual for parole in place under section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(5)), the Secretary of Homeland Security shall consider, on a case-by-case basis, whether granting the request would enable military family unity that would constitute a significant public benefit.
…
(c) COVERED INDIVIDUAL DEFINED — In this section, the term ‘‘covered individual’’ means an alien who—
(1) is a member of the Armed Forces;
(2) is the spouse, son, or daughter of a member of the Armed Forces;
(3) is the parent of a member of the Armed Forces who supports the request of such parent for parole in place; or
(4) is the widow, widower, parent, son, or daughter of a deceased member of the Armed Forces.
This is not only an amnesty provision for the illegal aliens who have slipped by the lax enforcement of citizenship in the military recruitment process and managed to enlist in our armed forces, but also for some of their relatives. Note also how there is no language in the wording requiring these relatives of illegal aliens in our military to be physically residing in the United States. This could add another level of difficulty to our immigration enforcement problems as we find a pathway to citizenship being defined for people who have never set foot on American soil and their pathway to citizenship is based solely on being related to an anchor relative who entered this country illegally and illegally joined our armed forces.
It might also add another potential problem to our already-serious election integrity problems. Would these relatives of illegal aliens, who have never set foot on American soil, become American citizens by using this as a pathway to citizenship? Would they then become eligible to vote under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voter Act? That unconstitutional law should be repealed because the U.S. Constitution doesn’t grant that power to the federal government. The potential for future problems in our elections adds another good reason for the U.S. Congress to repeal this section of the 2020 NDAA bill.
