Some Republicans won’t give up the dream of Amnesty, but their efforts continue to fail. Last week, immigration boosters John Cornyn and Thom Tillis proposed an Amnesty bill that would permanently legalize illegal aliens who “actively participate” in the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. This would give fewer than 700,000 illegals a pathway to citizenship. This is a narrower Amnesty than the Dreamer bill that passed the House in the spring, which would legalize all illegal aliens who came to the U.S. as minors. This bill would only give a pathway to citizenship to those who are currently enrolled in DACA [
SALT LAKE CITY Utah civic and business leaders, DACA recipients and formerly undocumented immigrants called upon Utah Sens. Mike Lee and Mitt Romney to back bipartisan bills focused on immigration reform Wednesday, citing economic and moral imperatives.
Leaders at the event, held at the World Trade Center Utah, emphasized the important role immigrants have in Utah s economy. As Utah emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, like most of the nation, it s confronted with a severe labor shortage. The labor shortage is expected to persist as Utah s unemployment rate trends towards its pre-pandemic levels and nearly 95% of the DACA-eligible population in Utah is employed.

The Senate GOP leader for the 2022 mid-term elections, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), is trying to narrow the national immigration debate to just a border crisis amid pressure from donors eager for more imported workers and consumers.
“This is clearly a border crisis, and no one knows it better than the people that live along the border and actually all over the state of Texas,” Scott told a conservative gathering in Texas on July 11.
Scott’s description of a “border crisis” buries all mention of the nationwide damage that immigration does to Americans’ jobs, wages, productivity, and housing. In numerous polls, the questions about pocketbook issues spike poll responses from the voters including the non-ideological women who will largely decide the winner of the 2022 mid-term elections.
