Thom Tillis that would provide amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2022\/12\/05\/finally-bipartisan-deal-help-dreamers-is-within-reach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reporting<\/a> from melodramatic Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent, Tillis and Arizona Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema are pressing for the upper chamber to consider their bipartisan \u201cimmigration reform\u201d bill before Congress\u2019s current lame-duck session ends later this month.<\/p>\n<p>While the legislation would apparently provide more funding for Border Patrol officers, resources to \u201cexpedite the removal of migrants who don\u2019t qualify for asylum,\u201d and an extension of <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/16\/in-may-bidens-border-crisis-yielded-the-highest-number-of-border-arrests-ever-recorded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Title 42<\/a> (a health policy that permits federal officials to expel illegal immigrants with minimal processing) for another year, it doesn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n<p>Among its massive concessions, the legislation would establish a so-called \u201cpathway to citizenship\u201d \u2014 which usually denotes bypassing the pathway that already exists \u2014 for 2 million illegal immigrants brought to the United States as minors.<\/p>\n<p>These immigrants refer to the recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/immigration\/commentary\/daca-unconstitutional-obama-admitted\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">illegally established<\/a> by former President Barack Obama, who admitted on multiple occasions throughout his presidency that he was \u201cnot king\u201d and couldn\u2019t \u201cjust bypass Congress and change the (immigration) law [himself].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s unclear whether the Senate plans to take up the bill before the current congressional session ends, Tillis\u2019s last-minute attempt to ram through an amnesty package before Republicans take control of the House of Representatives next month runs contrary to claims issued by his office earlier this year. Back in June, a representative from the North Carolina senator\u2019s office <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/tillis-office-dismisses-bipartisan-immigration-deal-biden-admin-ends-border-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> Fox News there was \u201cnot much to negotiate\u201d on immigration until President Joe Biden \u201cenforce[s] immigration laws\u201d and takes action \u201cto end the crisis at the [U.S. southern] border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judging by the number of illegal border crossings since that statement, however, it\u2019s pretty evident that hasn\u2019t happened. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/cbp-reports-all-time-record-230000-migrant-encounters-us-border-october\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">October<\/a> alone, Customs and Border Protection apprehended more than 230,000 illegals, marking a 1.3 percent increase from September and a new record high. Those figures don\u2019t even include the estimated 64,000 \u201cgotaways\u201d that evaded apprehension by border patrol officials. <\/p>\n<p>Since taking office, Biden has presided over a record-shattering number of border crossings, with 1.7 million apprehensions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/mayorkas-defends-dhs-record-illegal-border-crossings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> in fiscal year 2021 and more than 2.3 million in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Tillis\u2019 office did not respond to The Federalist\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>While the move to hand out amnesty like candy on Halloween is absurd, it should come as no surprise to conservative voters. Over the past year, Tillis and several of his Republican colleagues have worked overtime to sell out their base on a whole host of issues. <\/p>\n<p>Most recently, Tillis <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/28\/their-constituents-oppose-the-gay-marriage-bill-so-whom-do-these-12-gop-senators-think-theyre-representing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ignored the wishes<\/a> of his voters and helped spearhead the wrongly named \u201cRespect for Marriage Act,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/29\/12-gop-senators-help-democrats-erode-americans-right-to-act-on-religious-convictions-about-marriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">voting<\/a> with 11 of his fellow GOP senators to help Democrats pass the bill.
