Rick Scott’s Amnesty Could Put 1.5M Illegals on Track for U.S. Citizenship – By John Binder (Breitbart) / Mar 17 2021
A draft plan by National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) could provide 1.5 million illegal aliens with amnesty, putting them on a fast-track to American citizenship, analysis finds.
As Breitbart News reported Tuesday, Scott is currently circulating an amnesty plan that purports to benefit illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
An analysis released by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) reveals that Scott’s plan could put about 1.5 million illegal aliens on a fast-track to obtaining American citizenship in about 15 years, or by the year 2036.
“The bill provides amnesty and a pathway to citizenship to a population of aliens much broader than DACA beneficiaries,” the FAIR analysis states:
Under the terms of this bill all illegal aliens who were technically eligible to apply for DACA are eligible for amnesty and a green card. This includes even those who did not bother to apply in 2012 when the Obama administration unlawfully created the program via an executive memorandum.
