Congressional Democrats are at it again. Undeterred by failing twice<\/a> to include a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal aliens in the budget reconciliation package, Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) hinted that Senate Democrats will try to use the parole process<\/a> to give the illegals work permits and shield them from deportation. The proposal will require the approval of Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, who previously shot down<\/a> both amnesty attempts by Democrats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake, the attempt to use parole to shield millions of illegal aliens constitutes as great an amnesty threat as a pathway to citizenship. Parolees are able to work in the United States and access some public benefits \u2013 which is why illegal aliens come to the United States in the first place. In fact, this proposal is similar to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, except that it is moving through the legislative branch. But the parolees would function in a similar manner to DACA recipients. They would be able to work, go to school, and live in the U.S. without the fear of deportation. And, like DACA recipients, this \u201ctemporary\u201d parole status would be anything but temporary the longer they reside in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the parole\nprocess only apply to aliens on a case-by-case basis, rather than applying it\nto large swaths of people. Despite that, past administrations have used it to\nparole both Cubans in the 1960s and some Afghans following our chaotic\nwithdrawal earlier this year. Regardless, using parole authority to shield millions\n<\/em>of illegal aliens \u2013 not refugees \u2013 is a Democratic solution well outside\nthe bounds of the intent of the Immigration and Nationality Act. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate Parliamentarian will rule on this proposal any\nday now. If precedent is any indication, she could rule that this is not\ngermane to the budget and therefore unacceptable for inclusion in the budget\nreconciliation bill. The Senate\u2019s \u201cByrd rule\u201d stipulates that all policy\nchanges in a budget reconciliation package must have a significant impact upon\nthe national budget, and not an unrelated policy rider unrelated to the\nfinances of the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAIR will continue reporting on the Democrats\u2019 latest\nattempt to squeeze amnesty into this package as they try to vote on the massive\nspending bill before the end of October. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
