American Dream and Promise Amnesty to Cost $35B Over Next Decade - CBO

Immigration amnesty to cost billions.

The below write-up is taken from NumbersUSA.com

Future Democrat voters: “The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) found the legislation could grant amnesty to roughly 4.4 million illegal aliens of the 11 to 15 million aliens living illegally in the United States…”

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released an analysis last Thursday which found that one of the Democrats’ latest amnesty bills, The American Dream and Promise Act, would cost $35 billion over the next decade.

The Dream and Promise Act recently passed through the House would grant amnesty to several million illegal immigrants that allegedly illegally crossed the border as children. The legislation would also deliver green cards to hundreds of thousands of foreigners who were given Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or Deferred Enforced Departure status.

The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) found the legislation could grant amnesty to roughly 4.4 million illegal aliens of the 11 to 15 million aliens living illegally in the United States, reports Breitbart News.

Democrats, and some Republicans, voted for the legislation as roughly 17 million Americans remain unemployed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The legislation passed through the House Thursday evening with 228 votes in favor of the bill and 197 votes against it, even as approximately 17 million Americans remain unemployed. Nine House Republicans voted in favor of the Democrat amnesty bill.

The lone House Democrat to support American workers and vote against Amnesty during a jobs crisis was Jared Golden (D-Maine).

The nine House Republicans who voted to reward illegal immigration and expand Chain Migration in the upswing of what could be the worst border surge in recent history were: David Valadao (R-Calif.), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.), Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.), Maria Salazar (R-Fla.), Fred Upton (R-Mich.), Don Bacon (R-Neb.), Chris Smith (R-N.J.), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Penn.), and Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.).

According to Breitbart, the CBO – a nonpartisan organization, found that the primary cost of the amnesty would come from:

Illegal immigrants obtaining eligibility for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicaid tax credits, eligibility for the earned income and child tax credits, and eligibility for Social Security. In contrast, the federal government would only receive slight revenues from migrants receiving lawful permanent resident (LPR) status by charging them corporate income and Medicare taxes and the non-refundable portion of tax credits for health insurance.

Overall, the Dream and Promise Act would cost $42.48 billion and bring in revenues of $7.15 billion, meaning it would cost $35 billion by 2031.

Many thanks to InsiderAdvantage for your recent profile on Rep. Bee Nguyen (Nguyen among a crowded field in Secretary of State’s race). I found it quite informative and provided useful insight into her background. It is vitally important to get an idea of the beliefs and priorities of a potential constitutional office holder.

I would like to add information on Nguyen’s position regarding at least one aspect of illegal immigration that most voters will find relevant in their decision process on selecting a candidate for next year’s Secretary of State race. Including at our pro-enforcement house, she is unlikely to find support from anyone who wants to make Georgia unattractive to illegal immigration and voter fraud.

Nguyen is the sponsor of HB 833 also known as the “Freedom to Drive Act” which would reward illegal aliens who don’t already have a Georgia driver’s license and or state ID Card with a “Driving Card” and/or an official ID card. The official permission to drive and use state ID would apply to virtually all the estimated 400,000 illegal aliens in Georgia as well as any of the hordes of illegal aliens who have been welcomed into the U.S. by the Biden administration and who have Georgia on their mind as a homestead destination.

The 20,000 illegal aliens living in Georgia who are recipients of the Obama era DACA status already have access to the exact same driver’s license the Department of Drivers Services issues to legal immigrants and guest workers here with legal visas.

The official nod for “undocumented workers” to drive lawfully would extend to commercial operations as well.

Dustin Inman Society President D.A. King has warned about this legislation and provided background on the failed attempt by Tennessee to provide security or transparency in almost an identical concept in 2004. “Tennessee ended that adventure after two years and a federal investigation that exposed the extreme level of fraud, bribery and the fact that illegal aliens from other states were flocking to Tennessee to get ‘documented’ Georgia is already home to more illegal aliens than Arizona. Most of us don’t want to make it easier for them to vote,” wrote King.

I join him in noting that “in Bee Nguyen’s proposed change to state law, documents used by illegal aliens on the application for ID and driving credentials could not be used for a state criminal investigation unless there was an order by a federal judge. That includes the application itself.” There is more.

Conservative voters may believe this legislation is far too extreme to be taken seriously by leaders under the Gold Dome. I respectfully urge those who would dismiss the possibility of passage in the GOP-controlled legislature to consider the power of the special interest groups who will push behind the scenes for passage in the name of a “mobile workforce” and “Number One for Business…”

Would Gov. Brian Kemp sign such a bill if it did pass?
