‘Gang of Eight’ Amnesty Architect: Joe Biden Can Use COVID-19 to Give Amnesty to All Illegal Aliens

The architect of the infamous “Gang of Eight” amnesty plan in 2013 is suggesting Democrat Joe Biden and his Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pick Alejandro Mayorkas use the Chinese coronavirus crisis to grant amnesty to all 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States.

In an op-ed in The Hill, immigration attorney Leon Fresco suggests Biden and Mayorkas use the coronavirus crisis as a path for granting legal status to all illegal aliens in the U.S. via the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program.

TPS is a quasi-amnesty for otherwise illegal aliens created under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1990 (INA) that prevents the deportation of foreign nationals from countries that have suffered through famine, war, or natural disasters. Though it was originally intended to be temporary, TPS for a wide array of foreign nationals has been in place for decades.
