Paul Bedard \u2013 Washington Examiner Feb 18, 2021<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A new Democratic immigration package<\/a> backed by President Biden is already coming under fire because it would extend amnesty and citizenship to nearly 20 million immigrants, a population five times that of Los Angeles, and even extend an invitation to return to those recently deported.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s extraordinarily radical,\u201d said former Trump adviser Stephen Miller. \u201cYou can\u2019t even call it left-wing because it\u2019s actually nihilist,\u201d he told Secrets.<\/p>\n

And coming as millions remain out of work and with the nation still trying to end the coronavirus pandemic, it threatens the livelihood and safety of border states, said other critics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis latest move would only further harm American workers already struggling from our health and economic national crises caused by the ongoing pandemic and our government’s response. This new immigration bill will damage America\u2019s safety, weaken our economy, and endanger our freedoms,\u201d said Heritage Action Executive Director Jessica Anderson.<\/p>\n

She said the plan would greenlight about 20 million immigrants on a path to citizenship.<\/p>\n

Biden’s open-door plan has already sparked a new surge of 3,500 illegal immigrants to the border daily, according to immigration officials.<\/p>\n

The Democratic plan leaked around Washington is being sold as a humane revision of Trump\u2019s policies that cut visas, increased deportations of illegal immigrants, and, with Mexico\u2019s, help put southern immigrants seeking asylum in line instead of crossing and hoping for the best.<\/p>\n

Miller, a key architect of Trump\u2019s immigration policies, said the new plan authored by New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez and California Rep. Linda Sanchez would essentially erase the U.S. border with Mexico and the former president\u2019s immigration legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can’t govern from a position of reactive anger. That’s so poisonous and destructive to basically say, ‘We\u2019re going to do a radical opposite of the Trump administration border security. That’s it. We’re ending border security forever,’\u201d said Miller.<\/p>\n

For example, it opens citizenship up for any illegal immigrant in the United States before Jan. 1, even those who were just here for a few weeks.<\/p>\n

That, said Miller, would encourage millions to \u201ccut in line\u201d ahead of others who have followed the legal process to citizenship.<\/p>\n

It would also rewrite rules for deportees and let them come back to apply for citizenship.<\/p>\n

The impact would be devastating on Border Patrol and ICE officers, said Miller.<\/p>\n

\u201cCould you imagine a more demoralizing thing? The message that it sends to border agents and ICE officers is that \u2018you don’t matter. Your job doesn’t matter. Your life’s work doesn’t matter. Your oath doesn’t matter. None of it matters. It’s all make believe. It’s all pretend.\u2019 It’s an extraordinarily insidious thing,\u201d he told Secrets.<\/p>\n
