The Atlantic Calls For ‘Pandemic Amnesty’ to ‘Forgive One Another’ for Actions During COVID

The Atlantic magazine, which last year called for the unvaccinated to be put on the No-Fly List and treated like domestic terrorists, is now calling for a “pandemic amnesty” where everyone will “forgive one another” for what they “did and said” when they “were in the dark about COVID.” The author of the article who is calling for amnesty teaches a class about COVID policies at Brown University and advocated for COVID ‘vaccine’ requirements (aka vaccine passports) to travel, work and participate in society! People died from toxic experimental COVID jabs, endured lockdowns that ruined economies and caused massive job loss, were coerced to take COVID vaccines, mask mandates, discrimination and shaming. Vaccine mandates for employment and censorship continue to today.

David Knight pointed out that in order to rectify the injustice, ’emergency’ orders, especially the one issued by former President Trump, need to be terminated. He called for indictments of people who violated their oath to the Constitution, the restitution of stolen money and return of jobs, reforms to prevent tyrannical policies in the future, and terminating state laws modeled on the Emergency State Powers Act that allowed health officials to usurp power.

Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty

We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.

By Emily Oster
OCTOBER 31, 2022, 6 AM ET

In April 2020, with nothing else to do, my family took an enormous number of hikes. We all wore cloth masks that I had made myself. We had a family hand signal, which the person in the front would use if someone was approaching on the trail and we needed to put on our masks. Once, when another child got too close to my then-4-year-old son on a bridge, he yelled at her “SOCIAL DISTANCING!”

These precautions were totally misguided. In April 2020, no one got the coronavirus from passing someone else hiking. Outdoor transmission was vanishingly rare. Our cloth masks made out of old bandanas wouldn’t have done anything, anyway. But the thing is: We didn’t know.

were silenced, censored and smeared for it.

I have been reflecting on this lack of knowledge thanks to a class I’m co-teaching at Brown University on COVID. We’ve spent several lectures reliving the first year of the pandemic, discussing the many important choices we had to make under conditions of tremendous uncertainty.

Trump Tweeted that Many DACA Recipients Are ‘Hardened Criminals,’ But He Vowed to Make a Deal with Democrats to Let Them Stay in the US

Mainstream media reported that the Supreme Court seemed likely to shut down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals/ DACA program, the federal scheme that has allowed nearly 800,000 young people, known as “dreamers,” to live and work in the US, protecting them from deportation. However, President Trump tweeted that he would strike a deal with Democrat lawmakers to allow the DACA recipients to stay in the US if the Supreme Court eliminates the Obama-era initiative. His promise to allow the Dreamers to stay goes against his campaign promise to his base in 2016 to deport them. About 8% of the DACA recipients have criminal records.

On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump signaled a deal with congressional Democrats if the U.S. Supreme Court were to rule in his favor concerning the controversial Obama-era DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) immigration program.

“If Supreme Court remedies with overturn, a deal will be made with Dems for them to stay!” the president said via Twitter regarding DACA.

The Supreme Court will consider the Trump administration’s decision to end the DACA program, which has been argued to have been unconstitutionally enacted by the Obama administration via executive action.

The program defers deportations of immigrants brought over by their parents at a young age.

In the same tweet where Trump signaled a forthcoming deal, he ripped DACA. “Many of the people in DACA, no longer very young, are far from ‘angels,’” he wrote. “Some are very tough, hardened criminals.”

According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, about 8% of DACA recipients have criminal records:

President Trump’s Plan to End the Border Crisis



President Trump outlined a proposed compromise to end the government shut-down by extending legal protections to one-million immigrants including work permits, enrollment in Social Security, $800-million in humanitarian assistance, $805-million for drug-detection technology, 2,750 new border agents, 75 new immigration judge teams, and $5.7-billion for the wall. A number of Democrats responded by saying they are not ready to accept any deal until Trump first reopenes the government with no conditions. Some say that Trump secretly offered amnesty. -GEG

President Donald Trump outlined his plan Saturday to address border security concerns and put an end to the partial government shutdown. The plan includes the temporary extension of legal protections for DACA recipients and funding for a wall.

“This is a common-sense compromise that both parties should embrace,” the president began as he introduced the main points of his proposed plan.

  • $800 million in urgent humanitarian assistance
  • $805 million in new drug detection technology
  • 2750 new border agents and law enforcement professionals
  • 75 new immigration judge teams
  • $5.7 billion for “strategic deployment of physical barriers” (a wall)
  • Three years of legal relief and protection from deportation for DACA recipients
  • Three-year extension of protections for immigrants under Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

The president noted that the plan would not be a permanent fix, but rather called it a “down payment” on immigration reform, saying:

Once
the government is open, and we have made a down payment on border
security, and immigration reform starts to happen, I plan to convene
weekly bipartisan meetings at the White House so we can do a finished
product, a great product, a product that we can all be proud of, having
to do with that elusive immigration problem.

Early reports on Saturday suggested that the president would offer DACA and TPS protections
in exchange for his requested funding, and a number of Democrats
responded preemptively, saying that they weren’t ready to accept that
deal unless Trump first reopened the government with no conditions.

Betrayal? President Trump Has Failed to Deliver the Wall and Now Is Promoting DACA Amnesty

US Commentator, Gary Gileno, argues that President Trump is following the path of most recent presidents by failing to deliver on his important campaign promises. His support of gun control, 5G technology, and amnesty for illegal aliens are examples. He promised to terminate Obama’s amnesties such as DACA, which protects those illegally brought to the US as children. However, in September 2017, he handed the issue to Congress to decide. Many months later, DACA expired, but the delay gave time for pro-DACA supporters to file a lawsuit that made it possible for a judge to restore the program. With firm control over both houses of Congress, Trump had the opportunity to shut down the government to pressure Democrats into funding the wall. Instead of standing firm, he offered amnesty for DACA in exchange for the wall. And now, he is preparing to abandon the wall altogether. Gileno says that Trump is following in the footsteps of President Reagan who also gave amnesty to illegal aliens. Republican leaders speak against amnesty but, after the speeches are over and they are in office, they support the programs of their Democrat opponents. -GEG




CA Republican Representative Fails to Explain Why He Prioritizes Dreamers over Homeless Citizens


Tucker Carlson grills US Representative Jeff Dunham, a Republican from California, about why he is pushing a measure to force immigration votes in the House that would give amnesty to DACA Dreamers that goes against the wishes of voters.  Tucker asks why Dunham is making amnesty a priority when there are 100,000 homeless US citizens living on the sidewalks of California.

Amnesty for Illegal Aliens Would Cost US Taxpayers $2 Trillion


Princeton Policy Adviser, President Steven Kopits, says his research on illegal immigration shows that giving amnesty to illegal aliens would cost American taxpayers a staggering $2 TRILLION as the new citizens eventually would become eligible for government programs.  Illegal immigration now costs American taxpayers about $116-billion every year, or about $8,075 per taxpayer.  [Why would we elect people from both parties have this death-wish for America?] -GEG

Giving amnesty to the millions of illegal aliens living across the United States will cost American taxpayers about $2 trillion, a researcher predicts.

Princeton Policy Adviser President Steven Kopits says in his latest research on illegal immigration that handing over amnesty to illegal aliens would come with a “steep” price tag for American taxpayers.

Kopits notes that if illegal aliens are given amnesty, they will “sooner or later” become “eligible for government programs.”

Although not many illegal aliens have reached retirement age yet, Kopits predicts that by 2025 and into the 2030s, more and more illegal aliens will become eligible for taxpayer-funded retirement programs like Social Security and Medicare.

In Social Security benefits, amnestied illegal aliens could receive at least $6,000 a year in benefits, though Kopits says this represents “the lower end of what politicians’ magnanimity is likely to deliver.”

Additionally, those amnestied illegal aliens could also receive about $10,000 a year in Medicare benefits. These benefits, plus the Social Security payouts, would amount to a $2 trillion cost to American taxpayers over the course of a lifetime, Kopits estimates.

“…It will be an expensive proposition,” Kopits says of the amnesty in his report.

Amnesty, although beneficial to illegal aliens, comes at the expense of American citizens. For the nearly 800,000 to 3.5 million illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, granting an amnesty would cost taxpayers at least $26 billion.

Additionally, about one in five DACA illegal aliens, after an amnesty, would end up on food stamps, while at least one in seven would go on Medicaid, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated.

Nancy Pelosi Shouted Down by Illegal Aliens & Interview with Entitled DACA Recipient

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi was shouted down by illegal immigrants who were furious over her negotiations with President Trump to prevent the deportation of the DACA ‘Dreamers’, and they made an all-or-nothing demand for total amnesty for 11 million illegal aliens residing in the US (the number is much higher). Tucker Carlson interviewes Ivan Cija, a DACA recipient, who threatens repercussions against those who vote against illegal aliens, and Tucker responded by saying that the US government exists to protect US citizens, not illegal immigrants. The left is seeking to erase the distinction between citizens and non-citizens. -GEG
