GOP Amnesty Plan Fails After Public Outcry. Trump Pushes Ahead Anyway with Plan to Give 100,000 Foreign Workers ‘Path to Citizenship’ Every Year

Last week, six Republican Senators, including Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, Lamar Alexander, Rob Portman, and Lisa Murkowski, tried to tie funding for the border wall to amnesty for illegal aliens in Obama’s DACA program, but they failed due to public outrage.  New migration from a DACA amnesty would have the potential to allow the entry of nine-million foreign nationals, because every two newly naturalized citizens bring about seven foreign relatives with them. If this were to happen, a border wall could not stop the invasion, because the migrants would arrive legally. No wonder the public was outraged.

It should be noted that, ironically, President Trump did not share this outrage. Instead, he announced his intention to offer “a path to citizenship” to hundreds of thousands of foreign workers who were brought into the US by technology corporations to replace higher-paid American workers. In this article, Gary Gileno says it’s time for President Trump to fight for America First, as he promised, not Globalism First. -GEG
