According to Politico, it seems Biden might have decided that the best way to staunch the flood of illegal immigrants would be to remove their illegal status.
The report Monday, which cited three unidentified people familiar with the plan, said the Biden administration has begun pondering giving out green cards to illegal immigrants already in the country.
āOne idea that has been floated among administration officials is opening access to the cancellation of removal program for people who have lived in the U.S. for over 10 years and have citizen or resident relatives who would āsufferā if they were deported,ā Politico reported.
āIf specific requirements are met and an immigration judge approves cancellation of removal, a migrant is able to obtain a green card,ā it said.
The report compared such a move to the Obama administrationāsĀ Deferred Action for Childhood ArrivalsĀ program.
According to a flyer released in September by the Justice DepartmentāsĀ Executive Office for Immigrant RemovalĀ detailing the ācancellation of removalā process for, in the governmentās words, ānon-legal permanent residents,ā an illegal immigrant approved for this cancellation would instantly receive a green card, effectively legalizing that person after the fact.
While Politico noted that the administration has not yet committed to any particular strategy to quench the deluge of illegal border crossings, the issue has been top of mind since theĀ December border crossingsĀ obliterated all previous records.
Likewise, the recentĀ viral videoĀ of a horde of illegal immigrants destroying a barrier set up by Texas border guards has done little to improveĀ Bidenās PRĀ on the subject.
For most of his presidency, but especially now, in the heat of aĀ re-electionĀ bid, Biden has desperately tried to appease both sides.
For ordinary Americans, he wanted to appear to be doing something about the border crisis ā all while catering to those on theĀ leftĀ who believe our borders should be even more porous than they already are.
Democrats, empowered by Bidenās indifference, have simply ignored most immigration laws.
Though theĀ Biden administrationĀ has not decided on granting illegal immigrants green cards just yet, the fact that it has even considered this course of action would be incredibly dangerous for America.
GivingĀ green cardsĀ to illegal immigrants, even on the limited basis this report suggests, would only encourage more illegals to cross the border.
If Biden truly cared aboutĀ border security, he never would have reversed Trumpās policies and left the country in the mess we find ourselves in now.
