Wes Allen on Biden amnesty plan: ‘Radical and lawless’

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen condemned President Joe Biden’s new plan that would give amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrants currently living in the U.S.

“Today, Biden issued an EO to offer mass amnesty to illegal immigrants currently residing in our country,” Allen said. “Couple this with his previous voter registration EO and it is clear that Biden is attempting to win the upcoming election, not by winning over legitimate American voters, but by attempting to legitimize illegal immigrants.”

The president announced the plan Tuesday that will fast track a path to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who’ve been living in the country illegally for more than 10 years and married a U.S. citizen.

“These couples have been raising families, sending their kids to church and school, paying taxes, contributing our country for every for 10 years or more,” Biden said at a White House event. “We can fix that, and that’s what I’m going to do today.”

Biden also announced new protections for DACA recipients.

Allen believes this plan is really just another attempt to undermine the vote of American citizens.

“He won’t stop with this EO,” he argued. “He will keep attempting to dilute the power of the vote of legal Americans. Biden and his administration are radical and lawless.”
