Reconciliation Bill Includes Amnesty for Millions of Aliens | NewsRadio 740 KTRH – NewsRadio 740 KTRH

Democrats are trying to use a $3.5 trillion spending bill to pass amnesty for millions of illegal aliens streaming into the U.S. under the Biden administration.

Citizenship will boost our GDP by $1.5 trillion. It would generate billions in tax revenue and create about 400,000 new jobs, claims Zaira Garcia with the pro-immigration lobbying group fwd.us.

This is as close as we've come to being able to pass relief for the undocumented community that is essential to our workforce and to our economy, she told WOAI in San Antonio.

Opponents argue criminal aliens would be put on a path to citizenship.

Murderers, rapists, child molesters, drug dealers, thieves, burglars and kidnappers all would have the opportunity to remain in this country if the removal would result in family separation or hardship here in the United States, says Art Arthur, resident fellow in law and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.

Arthur says it's unlikely those given amnesty would ever contribute enough to cover the cost of taxpayer funded benefits. And he says it comes amid a sluggish economic recovery from COVID.

Inner-city youth, members of minority groups and certain immigrants have not adjusted to life here thus far, he says. The jobs really should go to those individuals primarily, rather than be given to people who enter the United States illegally.
