WH Cancels Scheduled Rollout of Citizenship for Illegal Aliens Plan

The White House has canceled their planned meeting with lawmakers to roll out their immigration “framework” that gives U.S. citizenship to at least 1.8 million illegal aliens, as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer demands more concessions from the administration.

A statement from pro-open borders Sen. Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) office revealed that White House advisers — including Gen. John Kelly, former Koch brothers executive Marc Short, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Kirstjen Nielsen, and senior adviser Stephen Miller — have canceled their Monday rollout of the amnesty package.

DHS spokesperson Tyler Houlton, though, called the canceled rollout a “scheduling issue,” saying that the canceling was not due to other reasons.

The advisers’ leaking of the expansive amnesty plan this week was met with immediate backlash from friends of the “America First” administration, who have slammed the package as an amnesty-first, enforcement-later conundrum.

Most prominent is the provision that gives a pathway to U.S. citizenship to at least 1.8 million illegal aliens, though such an amnesty could likely become uncontrollable, with millions more potentially able to gain a pathway to citizenship eventually.

Additionally, the plan fails to provide relief to America’s working and middle class by not immediately ending chain migration, the process wherey newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country with them.

Instead, the plan allows for all roughly four million, low-skilled chain migrants currently waiting to enter the U.S. to continue arriving in the country for at least the next ten years.

Hmmmm Could this be at least partially due to :

FAIR Firmly Opposed to White House Immigration Reform Framework, Amnesty: ‘We’re Gonna Kill It’

Two representatives for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) held a live online broadcast on Friday, expressing “firm opposition” to the new White House immigration reform framework – its stark change from what the President campaigned on – and called for supporters to help them kill it.

FAIR government relations director RJ Hauman called the framework a “sea change” from President Donald Trump’s campaign platform.

The newly released “White House Framework on Immigration Reform and Border Security” would give a pathway to citizenship for an estimated 1.8 million illegal aliens in the United States over 10-12 years. $25 billion is allocated to a “trust fund for the border wall system, ports of entry/exit, and northern border improvements and enhancements.” The visa lottery would be ended and reallocated “to reduce the family-based “backlog” and high-skilled employment “backlog.””

“It looks like a complete disaster because it’s the same problem you always have. Once you do an amnesty it sends a clear message to the rest of the world that the borders are open,” said FAIR research director Matt O’Brien. He said the other problem is that it would not be 1.8 million people amnestied, but many times that.

O’Brien said that it’s not clear from the proposal if legislation based on this framework would change the cap number on people coming into the country or if they were simply changing the composition of those who come.

Hauman said that FAIR finds the possibility that this framework is a baseline “alarming.” He said that if that is the case, “This can only get worse.”

O’Brien agree with Hauman that “this is 1986 all over again,” referring to the Immigration Reform and Control Act passed under then President Ronald Reagan. He said the bill attracted thousands of illegal aliens and thousands of fraudulent applications to INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services). He added that the promised immigration law enforcement and border security provisions never materialized.

I can't help but wonder if Trump is setting up the Dems by giving them a little more that they will no doubt refuse.

"or at least what we have about it thus far."

The cherry picking, obfuscation, and outright lies in the MSM make it very difficult to evaluate what is really going on.

Look at the infamous "sh*thole " remark. How long after Durbin's claim did it take for the accusation to become 'fact'.

President Trump may be engaging in a high stakes gamble to get something he thinks he may not otherwise get, but it comes a bit too close to a "read my lips" moment to be totally comfortable. I like the guy but I am leery of this offer, or at least what we have about it thus far.
