Republicans Take A Stand, Announce Plan To End Biden’s Abuse of Power on Immigration Policy

Last Thursday, Senate Republicans led by Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced a stunning new plan to combat the Biden policy of releasing illegal migrants into communities all across America — the Immigration Parole Reform Act of 2023.

“Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today reintroduced the Immigration Parole Reform Act of 2023 to restore integrity to the immigration parole statute after decades of misuse by the executive branch,” Grassley’s campaign website reads. “Immigration parole, first established in 1952, allows the executive branch to temporarily grant individuals entry into the United States on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. ”

Biden is effectively abusing the immigration system and the powers he is afforded to catch and release migrants into the heart of America, as Breitbart reports.

“However, several presidential administrations, particularly those of Presidents Obama and Biden, have abused this authority to admit entire categories of individuals in circumvention of congressionally-established pathways to allow foreign nationals to enter the United State,” Grassley adds. “Some of these parole programs were created even after Congress repeatedly rejected or failed to consider and enact legislative proposals that would have created an immigration pathway for the group of people covered by the programs.”

Grassley then detailed the mechanics of his plan, saying, “it would, among other changes, clarify that parole may not be granted according to criteria that describe entire categories of potential parolees, and very clearly define what qualifies as an ‘urgent humanitarian reason’ or ‘significant public benefit.’ It would also provide clarity on the timing and extension of immigration parole, among other reforms.”

The bill was joined by eight other Senate Republicans, including Tom Cotton (R-AR), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), J.D. Vance (R-OH), James Lankford (R-OK), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Katie Britt (R-AL), Mike Lee (R-UT) and Joni Ernst (R-IA).

Senator Cotton offered his perspective on the bill, saying, “the Biden administration has been abusing a law that allows immigrants into the United States for emergencies and for the public interest. But what’s in President Biden’s political interest is not in the public interest of Americans. Our bill will help stop his abuse of the parole system and help end catch-and-release.”

Senator Cassidy concurred, adding, “Americans want President Biden to address the border crisis, not cover it up by granting blanket parole to those crossing the border illegally. The administration is abusing our parole laws to do this, and our bill would stop them.”

This is a significant new piece of legislation that demonstrates Republicans are serious about border security.
