As Joe Biden Readies Immigration Plan, Republicans go xenophobic racist

Republicans have chastised Joe Biden as the number of migrant arrivals surge at the U.S.'s southern border with Mexico and the president's immigration policy is scrutinized by lawmakers in Washington, D.C., this week.

Biden allies on Capitol Hill introduced his immigration overhaul to the House on March 4. The proposals offer an eight-year path to citizenship for most of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country, look to eliminate restrictions on family-based immigration and plan to expand worker visas.

Since he was inaugurated on January 20, Biden has led an effort to undo former President Donald Trump's immigration policies and launch a welcoming approach to migrants. But the president has been criticized for not doing enough to reduce prosecutions and reform border procedures.

Republicans are also concerned at Biden's choice to terminate Trump's Migrant Protection Protocols Program could result in a massive influx of arrivals at the southwest border, which could bring more coronavirus cases to the U.S.

They won’t do a damn thing. Bush tried to do something, which “the base” then interpreted as “amnesty,” erupted, and no GQPer would touch it because the imbeciles and bigots would primary them. That was more than 16-years ago. What’s changed, if not even more hate?
