Trump Campaign Points Out Biden’s New Executive Order Grants Amnesty to 500,000 Illegal Immigrants

Former President Donald Trump‘s campaign chastised President Joe Biden for issuing an executive order that made it easier for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to get permanent status in the United States.

On Tuesday, Biden announced a new executive order that will make the residency application process easier for approximately 500,000 illegal immigrants who have been in the United States for ten years and are married to a citizen. The decree will also apply to around 50,000 noncitizen children under the age of 21 whose parents are married to United States citizens.

According to CNN, the decision represents the largest step toward amnesty for illegal aliens since former President Barack Obama‘s Deferred Decision for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program 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, referring to two recent criminal cases in which illegal immigrants are suspected of being at fault.

“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,” Leavitt droned on. “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.”

“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 stated.

On Tuesday, New York City officials reported the arrest of Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, a 25-year-old illegal immigrant from Ecuador who entered the United States in 2021 in Eagle Pass, Texas. Inga-Landi is accused of tying up and raping a 13-year-old girl in a park in Queens, near Trump’s childhood home.

“I grew up right near there,” Trump told Fox News. “Something like this was unthinkable years ago— unthinkable.”

“You could go down and go to the candy store, walk back — your parents never even had a thought of anything happening,” according to the former president. “This is a different world. My parents would never have considered that something could happen.”

“These are Biden migrants,” he explained. “They are flooding our country. They are flooding our cities and states.”
