Biden To Grant Citizenship to 11M Illegal Immigrants
President-elect Joe Biden plans to follow through on a campaign promise to grant citizenship to 11M illegal immigrants in his first day in office. According to AP, Biden will announce citizenship legislation for undocumented migrants. Comparatively, the President-elect’s stand on immigration offers a contrast to President Donald Trump's. The latter batted for more restrictive controls on borders and citizenship applications. Meanwhile, Biden hoped to provide an easier path to becoming an American.

Biden’s campaign featured a pledge to fast track citizenship for 11 million illegals. However, questions on how fast can he do it given the current problems besetting the nation. A worsening pandemic, a sputtering economy, and rampant unemployment all require urgent attention.
First Day in Office
Chief of staff Ron Klain said Saturday that on Day 1, Biden will send Congress an immigration bill. Esther Olivarria, deputy director for immigration, briefed immigration advocates on Biden's proposal. She is a member of the White House Domestic Policy Council.
Meanwhile, Domingo Garcia of the League of Latin American Citizens applauded the move. “I was pleasantly surprised that they were going to take quick action,” he said. “We got the same promises from Obama, who got elected in ’08, and he totally failed,” he added. However, Garcia won't count on an immediate passage within 100 days. Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate will likely take center stage for the first few weeks.
Historic Shift
Marlea Hincapie, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, received a briefing on the plans. Biden's proposal “does represent a historic shift from Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda.” Hincapie also agreed that undocumented immigrants should have a chance for citizenship.”
She added “The bill also would provide a shorter pathway to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of people with temporary protected status and beneficiaries of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals who were brought to the U.S. as children. In addition, the bill will also help “certain front-line essential workers, vast numbers of whom are immigrants.”
Eight Years For Citizenship
Ali Noorani is also among those briefed Thursday night by Olivarria. He gave details on Biden’s proposal. It will take five years for illegal aliens to get legal permanent resident status. Then, they can apply for US citizenship after three more years. The proposal is one of the fastest ways to gain US citizenship compared to other bills filed in Congress.
In addition, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients will get special treatment. Those under DACA, which protects child migrants from deportation, will receive fast-track status. Similarly, Temporary Protected Status migrants from war-torn countries will also get fast-tracked. Congress will reconvene on January 19. By then, Democrats will now control both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This makes it easier for Biden to get support and approval for his new immigrant policy plans.
Attitude Adjustment
Biden’s adjusted policies on immigration come at a favorable time. American attitude, not just Democrats, improved favorably over immigration. A 2020 Gallup poll found that 34% favored more immigration, which is 13% higher compared to 2016. The survey reported that 77% of Americans felt immigration is good for the country on the whole. This is 5% higher than in 2016 sentiments.

What a idiotic move. Not even in office and already screwing the American people.
Biden hates AMERICA! He is destroying already it!
WOW! How can he even think of this with so many other things going on in our country to worry about? He needs to take care of America first!!!!

Why the hell would he do that when we already have millions of homeless Americans ? This idiot is going to fuck things up in this country real fast , got to get rid of crazy joe. Please mr. president Trump help us we can’t fight these politicians without your help
God bless
No, I do not agree. I worked in 200% poverty level clinic at 85% were ilegal aliens. The immigrants that get legalized will drain the government. And so will their kids and their parents. Once they get legalized they will eligible for government benefits which will include social security, welfare and Medicaid and one day Medicare. For the immigrants that are older, they will one day get on social security but will need Medicaid for their kids and one day Medicaid to help pay for their insurance, because they cannot be fully invested in their health . If anything that could be legalized a nd made to get into investments so they can one day become semi-dependent. They should be made to have insurance. They go to the ER and never pay the mountains of bills left! They can be legalized but never Americans so that they do not drained and put America in debt.. To help America get out of debt have every person filing an income tax made to pay $10.00 back to the USA. This will help reduce our debt! Also do this for 10 years and any monies left will be invested for Americans future so that we the Americans don’t have to wait for any decision making between Republicans and Democrats to make decisions, while Americans are suffering.. As a matter of a fact this should be an on going deductible on yearly income. But this is not for our American so called leaders of America to line their pockets! This will be for the American people! “ALL leaders pay should be capped off at $250.00 since Trump, era shows you are not working nor fighting for the people! Letting Muslims in the USA will be dangerous, as they already hate Americans. Let them stay in their country. USA is not here to fight everyone’s battles!
This move will damage our economy and our lives. We can’t afford to babysit these illegal people. We have a good immigration system now. This new version , no matter what the supporters say, is so give the Democratic Party a majority from now on! The United States, as we know it will be destroyed.
He should be focusing on foreign take over of our economy, schools and politics. Why do they want to come here? To change us? Or to be with us?
Look at history. We’ve fought for our democratic republic
In Europe Asia and Africa infiltration wrecks havoric. Protect our borders and our newsfeed from those who will take our freedom. Know who they are and why they want to come
It’s like their plans for gun control — it won’t stop the criminal element from getting and using guns – only the law abiding citizens will be penalized. The criminal element will still find a way to enter the country, while businesses and citizens will suffer at their hands. It’s about pandering for votes, and it won’t be any better for those folks under Biden & Co. than it was under Obama.
If people’s attitudes are changing, then they are wrong to do so. They haven’t thought through the ramifications, or unintended consequences, of passing these destructive immigration laws. Legalizing illegal aliens will encourage millions more to stream in. In fact, there’s thousands more illegal aliens headed for the U.S. border right now demanding entry. Are these future entrants vetted for diseases, criminal histories, ability to support themselves and not be a burden to the welfare system? NOT at ALL. Then, as others have written, the new “citizens” that are illegal now will be given full benefits which they will take full advantage of. Just this amnesty, illegal alien surge and crazy immigration policy ALONE will be a national disaster for these United States. And what’s worse, the sycophantic, lapdog media will cover it all up and spin the disaster as “compassionate” and needed sacrifice, blah, blah, blah. Disgusting.
For you people who voted for him this is just the beginning. Above all the USA people come last.
Here is a case of “be careful what you wish for”, people that voted for Biden are getting exactly what he said he would do, did people not believe him? Now we got him, stop whining.
I can’t take 4 more years of people screaming at the sky!
ABSOLUTELY NOT. BIDEN IS LOONEY-TUNES.
The moron Democrats will do anything against conservatives stop them now if we don’t we won’t have a country
Absolutely not we more pressing issues we need addressed. But he will always address the issues that make the least sense because he and the Democrats are completely out of touch with reality and they are all a bunch of idiots. NOT MY PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No absolutely not. we need to take care of our own. Biden is a moron and a idiot.
No! But I knew if the Demorats cheated and stole their way in, this kind of thing will be a normal occurance. President Trump God bless you for what you tried so hard to do for our country. We love you and want you back.
Well that means that 11M illegals will get to have free food stamps, free OBLABBER-Care, still jobs from real Americans, bring all of their drug pushers and other criminal trash into the country just to get them to vote.
As the younger generation would say WTF. Our government needs to send all the illegals back where they came from and take care of all USA citizens first.
I see America becoming my a 3 rd world nation with cheap labor everywhere I look I see individuals standing on street corners begging for money most are UNEDUCATED with NO JOB SKILLS they are a DRAIN on our our government give sways food stamps and hospitals – agriculture and construction will hire them as CHEAP LABOR hopefully they will ALL GO TO CALIFORNIA the state that wants illegals and gives away free money to them. All I can say America is watch your back stay legally armed with CCW MORE ILLEGAL CARAVANS with thousands from Honduras in Mexico now demanding entry in the USA THEIR – POOR – UNEDUCATED – SICK – -CRIMINALS ? – CORONAVIRUS INFECTED ? – times are extremely bad HERE IN THE USA WITH MILLIONS IN UT OF WORK MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE BRINGING IN THOUSANDS OF ILLEGALS. THE IS BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATS FOR YOU “ DESTROYING AMERICA “ WE CAN NIT TAKE CARE OF THE WORLD POPULATIONS !
Absolutely NOT. He needs to take care of the American people first, the homeless and the ones who fought for our Country the Veterans. He is a piece of shit, doesn’t care about the USofA or the Americans at all. Once in office, the Democraps will find him incommpetent to stand office and move Kamala into that position. She is another piece of poop who doesn’t care about anyone of us. All you that voted for them, are just like them, a piece of shit.
Kathleen, you are correct, unfortunately. Obama failed to destroy America, Biden may succeed with help from Hunter and China. We must pray for help from God.
VETS BEFORE ILLEGALS !!!
FUCK BIDEN!!!
HE NEVER WILL BE MY PRESIDENT, BECAUSE HE IS A DELUSIONAL DUMBASS SOCIALISM SUPPORTING SON OF A BITCHING BASTARD!!!
What an idiot I find it hard to believe what is happening to our country at the hand of these people.
The problems are with farmers, contractors, hotel workers who need people who will show up for work each day keeping the country providing jobs for people who will give you a days work for a days pay. They do not show up for work at eleven asking why they are fired. They receive a fair salary not complaining they had to work seven hours during eight hour
They will do the work that many will not do. They are only taken jobs that need to be filled.
Wake up America if we all do not stand as one then we are letting this stupid party get what they want puppets on a string. You know it use to be we the people for the people not that way anymore why people can not see that this party wants to make this a socialist country and dispose of our rights as Americans. Again I say WAKE UP AMERICA
We don’t need any more immigrants in this country.We can’t even take care of our own people correctly.
Take care of America first!
This is just the beginning, The future of the USA is going to hell! Thank you to all the Biden supporters, hope you’re happy screwing American citizens!
Bet they get the vaccine before we do🤦🏻♂️
He’s doing this because he’s a f….ing idiot and exactly why I didn’t vote for him!!!
We have imigration laws for a purpose! If you want to become an American Citizen then go by the laws! There are fees and forms and lines but there are reasons for all of this! America wants to take people who have a means of supporting themselves and people must present their ability before being a legal alien and then learn what America is about and prove their intent before becoming a citizen!!!!!!!
My husband went through the process, and the process works!!!! Don’t mess with what works!!!
We do not have the social funding to support these people!!!!!! And being a middle income person, if I can not afford luxurys then I should not have to support other people, but its always the conservative middle class that have to tighten their belt even further every time something STUPID like this occurs.
I feel sorry for these immigrants. But they must go through the immigration process at hand!!!!
I agree with the ones who said “this is just the beginning.” How about putting AMERICANS FIRST? Since when did taking care of your own country/family/jobs become a bad thing? Since the liberals found out that’s how they can get votes….(that and cheating)
We do not live in the America we have known and loved. I am so furious with all the educated idiots who voted for Biden, just so Trump would not get back in. I hope this all bites them in the Ass. Problem is it will be too late. Our greatest fear is that we end up with HARRIS as President. Lets face it, this will be a communistic country. We have lost our God Given Freedom.
This should scare everyone. I want to know what they did with all this evidence of an election full of fraud. Talking about it for weeks, and here we sit. Everyone is crooked, and getting kickbacks I am sure. I am only one person, and all I can do is Pray for My Almighty God to destroy all the wicked.
Where does Breaking News get it’s source?
I’m a Republican and not a RINO. I’ve read all the negative comments on here and there is a lot of uneducated people making comments about Medicaid, Medicare and welfare. First, a lot of DACA recipients are already receiving benefits for their children who are US citizens. Your argument is therefore foolish as they will continue to receive these benefits as they cannot get good jobs to improve their livelihood without the proper documentation. Second, you are only entitled to Social Security if you have worked the required amount of time to qualify. This isn’t given to all, only those who’ve paid into it. The argument FB Republicans has always been the fact our immigration laws have not been enforced. It’s still a valid argument today. The laws are antiquated and they do need to be changed. If Democrats chance the laws, and it’s a big if, then Republicans would need to accept and they can modify, once they regain control.
Thank you Biden lovers. Remember this is just the beginning as he also said he will only support and people of color. No whites allowed. I am so proud to be illegal and retired on Social Security at 23 years old and full medical and got a house and car free and now going to College free. This is the life. To bad Americans can’t say that. Anyway thank all you idiots that voted for Biden.
Biden is a God Damn IDIOT!!! The USA cannot afford 11 million more people on welfare. Biden supporters are NOT smart enough to see what the DUMBYCRATS are doing to this country.
This is Democrat plan to assure all future elections never go to any other party, except perhaps the communists.
They will have complete control into the future.
Our liberties are doomed!
No I do not support letting in ALIENS! BIDEN HARRIS CRAZY! THE DISEASES WILL SPREAD! CHINA ALREADY USING GERM WARFARE! BIDEN OBAMA IN WITH CHINA KILL OFF AMERICANS NEW WORLD ORDER! THIS IS SO DISRESPECTFUL TO VETERANS WHO SERVE THIS COUNTRY AND COME HOME WITH OUT LEGS ARMS I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THEM ! IT’S SO HORRIBLE TO SEE HOME LESS AMERICANS LIVING ON THE STREETS! WE CAN’T EVEN FEED AMERICANS! CIVIL WAR COMING SOON! WORLD COMING TO A END GET READY
What a Fricking Moron. Let them live with him and see how he likes that!

what part of Illeagal dont the Democrates and
Joe Biden understand?
There is nothing wrong with the current way to apply for, and to become a U.S. citizen.
We don’t owe Nothing to anyone trying to come to this country in an illegal manner.
Biden and Harris are going to turn our country into a 3rd world country unless Iran, China, or another terrorist outfit, such as muslims decide to blow us to kingdom come.
This world is screwed if he does this!!!
Biden wants to draw in more low to no income people to destroy America as we have known it. Make us a third world country and start his new world order aka communism. This is the plan for all Demonrat politicians.
NO, WORST IDEA EVER. ILLEGALS SHOULDN’t BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND IN THESE PRESSING TIMES, THIS WII NOT HELP THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM, MAY MAKE IT WORSE. CAN’t BELIEVE ANYONE WITH SOUND MIND WOULD INDORSE THIS. AS A MATTER IF FACT, WE NEED MORE DEPORTATIONS INSTEAD. WHAT IS IT WITH HIM PRIORITIZING THIS OVER COVID 19, SOCIAL SECURITY, AND MORE CRUCIAL THINGS THAT NEED SOLVING. HE PUTS FOREIGNERS ABOVE AMERICANS. AND AMERICANS DO NOT WANT TO BE COMMUNISTS.
Everything Trump was doing to keep illegals out by building a wall the Democrats were against. Now Biden wants to let 11 million illegals into our country and our taxes will pay for there welfare. My grandfather fought in World War 1 my father in World War 2 my brother in Vietnam now Biden just wants to give our country away to illegals 11 million its insane. Now u have to wonder was Trump right did the Democrats really do something illegal to get Biden in as president because he doesnt care about America
