Action Request: Tweet at your two Senators, plus Mitch McConnell and John Thune and tell them what you think of the Lankford/McConnell/Biden deal.

 According to information obtained by the Immigration Accountability Project:

• The Lankford/McConnell/Biden plan would put into law that illegal immigration is only an emergency when it reaches a minimum of 4,000 illegal crossings each day. That means, in their view, that it is just fine for almost 1.5 million illegal aliens to enter the United States each year.
• The plan would NOT end catch-and-release, but instead gives illegal aliens immediate work permits as soon as they are released. Currently, illegal aliens who are released from custody to apply for asylum have to wait 180 days to apply for a work permit. Giving them immediate work permits will incentivize more illegal immigration!
• The plan would NOT end the Biden Administration's abuse of parole, but merely says that illegal aliens encountered at the southern border can't be given parole. This means the administration can continue to fly hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to U.S. airports and give them parole.
• The plan would NOT address the wholesale trafficking of children into the United States or their distribution by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to unvetted "sponsors" who may be sex- or forced-labor traffickers. Apparently, these Senators are not bothered by the numerous reports of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) being forced to work at dangerous jobs, rather than going to school, or the fact that HHS has lost track of at least 85,000 children it distributed to unvetted sponsors.
• The plan WOULD give more taxpayer dollars to DHS to process illegal aliens into the United States faster.
• The plan WOULD give more taxpayer dollars to NGOs that are transporting illegal aliens to communities all over the United States.

Contrast all this with what Texas Governor Greg Abbott is doing at the border: actually trying to prevent the entry of illegal aliens into his state.

The fact is that the Biden Administration already has all the authority it needs to end the crisis and secure the border. Every tool that the Trump Administration used to secure the border in 2020 is still available to President Biden.

The Lankford/McConnell/Biden plan would normalize record-level illegal immigration and codify it in law.
