Joe Biden's New Plan Would Bring Back Illegals Deported by Trump, Even Some Convicted of Crimes

A new immigration bill pushed for by President Joe Biden would provide amnesty for illegal immigrants who have already been deported by United States law enforcement.

Thankfully, Senate Republicans are pushing against this absurd bill.

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas released a statement the same day the bill was introduced, saying, “This immigration plan is a disaster.

“It would devastate our economy by flooding our workforce with millions of...
