The campaign of former president Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden for signing an executive order that made it easier for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to become residents of the United States.
On Tuesday, Biden announced a new executive order that streamlines the application process for residence for approximately 500,000 undocumented immigrants who have lived in the country for ten years and are married to citizens of the United States.
The ruling will also apply to around 50,000 noncitizen children under the age of 21 whose parent is married to a citizen of the United States.
The move is being touted as the biggest move toward illegal immigration amnesty since the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program of former president Barack Obama in 2012.
“This week, we learned an illegal alien from El Salvador who Crooked Joe Biden allowed into our country murdered a mother of five while she was on a run in Maryland, and we learned an illegal alien from Ecuador tied up and raped a 13-year-old girl at knifepoint in broad daylight,” Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement
“But Biden doesn’t care about the American lives that will forever be destroyed by the illegal criminals he is importing; and Biden doesn’t care that law-abiding taxpayers, crushed by inflation, are forced to pay for free food, housing, and healthcare for illegals. Biden only cares about one thing — power — and that’s why he is giving mass amnesty and citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegals who he knows will ultimately vote for him and the Open Border Democrat Party.” she continued.

“Biden’s mass amnesty plan will undoubtedly lead to a greater surge in migrant crime, cost taxpayers millions of dollars they cannot afford, overwhelm public services, and steal Social Security and Medicare benefits from American seniors to fund benefits for illegals — draining the programs Americans paid into their entire working lives. Biden has created another invitation for illegal immigration through his mass amnesty order,” she concluded.
