House GOP's latest excuse for opposing immigration reform? Some schools are closed.



By Josh Israel -February 18, 2021 3:30 PM

They are against reform when schools are open too.

Congressional Republicans railed on Thursday against President Joe Biden's immigration reform proposal, which includes a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants. Many framed their opposition around the fact that some schools are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The White House announced a comprehensive immigration proposal that would create an eight-year process for undocumented immigrants who arrived before the start of this year to become citizens. Farmworkers and dreamers (young undocumented people brought to the United States as children by their parents) would be eligible for faster. The plan would also crack down on smuggling and trafficking, reform processing for Central American refugees, and enhance border screening.

Republicans in Congress quickly dismissed this as a "nonstarter" and denounced it as "mass amnesty" during a pandemic.
