Rep. Troy E. Nehls Responds to President Joe Biden's Recent Executive Order |
|
This week, President Joe Biden issued an executive order (EO) that creates a new "parole-in-place" program that conflicts with current law by giving legal status to at least 500,000 illegal aliens who are married to American citizens. This is granting mass amnesty to illegal aliens, plain and simple. President Biden is awarding lawbreakers with a pathway to citizenship instead of deporting them. This EO is a slap in the face to law-abiding Americans who are in danger because of his open-border policies.
President Biden's EO will further encourage more illegal immigration and marriage fraud and add to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS) backlog and workload, not to mention that it would become a huge expense for the American taxpayer.
If President Biden really cared about the safety of the American people, he would revert to President Donald J. Trump's border policies and deport every single illegal alien in our country.
