Leaked Senate Bill Legalizes Illegal Immigration
Former ICE Chief Thomas Homan: Open Borders Are About Giving Democrats Future Voters
Former Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan says Democrats’ support for open borders is driven by their “political future” — viewing illegal aliens as potential voters.
During a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing this week, Homan was asked by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) what the motivations are behind President Joe Biden’s driving up the nation’s foreign-born population to nearly 50 million, partially by releasing millions of illegal aliens into the United States interior.
Homan, who is also a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, suggested that Democrats’ political willpower drives their open borders agenda.
“President Biden voted for border barriers. He voted for the Secure Fence Act. Why’d he stop building them then? This is political. There’s no other reason,” Homan said, adding:
I’ll ask anybody, what is the downside of less illegal immigration? What is the downside in having a secure border? What’s the downside in less women being sexually assaulted? What’s the downside in less children drowning in rivers? What’s the downside in less fentanyl coming to this country and killing thousands of Americans? What’s the downside in less trafficking, sex trafficking women and children? What’s the downside in millions of dollars not being made by the cartels? [Emphasis added]
[Democrats] obviously see some sort of political future, some political thing that’s going to benefit them in the future. People say, ‘Well maybe they’re Democrat voters.’ I know one thing, President Biden also overturned the Trump census rule which means millions of these people will be counted in sanctuary cities in the census. What does that mean? It means more seats in the House … so I don’t know [emphasis added].
Indeed, as Homan noted, former President Donald Trump had sought to exclude illegal aliens from the Census Bureau’s count solely for congressional apportionment to ensure that left-wing, major cities were not given more House districts simply because of their sanctuary policies that attract illegal immigration.
At the start of 2021, Biden announced that he was overturning that rule and would subsequently include illegal aliens in the count that allots congressional districts to the states.

Democrats are “for noncitizens being able to vote. … That’s just where the left is. … I get it all the time: ‘Why would they allow this situation to happen?'” Jordan said:
The way I look at it, we’re on pace to hit 12 million migrants coming into the country under the Biden administration. That’s the magnitude of this phenomenon. That’s equivalent to the entire population of our state, the state of Ohio — the seventh largest state … that’s an unbelievable number. … I think it’s being done intentionally, and I think the American people would like to know, and I think, more importantly, they’d like it to stop [emphasis added].
According to the latest estimates by Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has welcomed nearly five million border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities in just three years.
“Hundreds of criminal illegal aliens are being released into our communities, and cities and states are spending billions of dollars — not on their own citizens — but on illegal aliens arriving every day,” Homan wrote in his written testimony.

Report: Open Borders Bill May Be Voted on ‘Next Week’
Democrats may schedule a vote “next week” on the still-secret plan to manage President Joe Biden’s profound illegal immigration, according to reports.
“[From] Inside the Senate GOP lunch — McConnell told Republican senators the Senate could vote on the border/Ukraine supplemental NEXT WEEK per three attendees,” said a Wednesday afternoon post on X from Andrew Desiderio at Punchbowl News.
GOP senators usually hold a weekly lunch on Wednesdays and discuss conflicting strategies and priorities. These are where the leadership sets the direction. Reporters wait outside the lunchroom to quiz the senators as they leave and to get authorized leaks from senators’ staffers.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says he supports the draft border deal, in part because he wants the administration to fund Ukraine’s war against Russia with another $60 billion in weaponry and funds.
But the draft deal is not completed. “There are boundaries to the conversation around gun laws. There are almost no boundaries to the conversation around immigration & border law,” said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), one of the three primary negotiators. The GOP negotiator is Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), who is praised and reviled by rival groups.
So far, Biden’s deputies have welcomed at least five million illegal migrants over the southern border, in addition to the annual inflow of roughly 1.5 million legal immigrants and visa workers. Overall, Biden’s inflow has delivered roughly three migrants for every two American births
Lankford is denouncing early leaks of the draft deal that Breitbart News published.
“There’s always rumors about what’s actually out there,” Lankford told a CNN producer on January 16.
No one’s seen the text. [House] Speaker [Mike] Johnson has been very clear that if this is the whole agreement, this is a major problem. And it’s clearly not. And there’s all kinds of things that are flying around the internet right now. And I just smile to people and say, there’s a basic principle of life that you don’t believe everything you read on the internet and get the facts.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is touting the draft deal — if the White House is willing to make unclear concessions on the so-called “parole pathway.”
Industry lobbyists are successfully pushing establishment media outlets to portray the dispute as a disagreement about how best to manage and employ the millions of economic migrants who show up at the border. For example, the pending deal would offer workers permits to migrants under the novel claim that they should work instead of getting taxpayer funds while they are waiting years for their legal claims to be decided by the courts.
In contrast, pro-American groups are emphasizing the enforcement of the nation’s existing border laws, such as the law requiring that migrants be detained until their legal claims are decided. The laws are designed to protect American families from unscrupulous investors who hire and rent homes to desperate illegal migrants instead of negotiating on fair terms with American families.
GOP leaders in the House oppose any deal that does not enact the H.R. 2 border stabilization bill.
Cygnal Poll: Republicans Should ‘Tap into’ Voter Anger over Illegal Migration
Republican candidates should recognize that 70 percent of swing-voting independents “strongly” or “somewhat” favor the deportation of illegal migrants, according to a poll by Cygnal released Tuesday.
“This new national data shows just how voters view an unsecure border and the subsequent illegal immigration as a crisis, one that they believe is not being addressed by the Biden Administration,” said Brent Buchanan, president of the Cygnal polling firm. He continued:
Republican candidates at all levels would be wise to tap into this sentiment and contrast themselves with a sheepish bench of Democrats who have largely let the issue fester to a boiling point no locality can afford to further ignore because it’s impacting voters day-to-day lives.
The detailed results from the January 11-12 poll of 2,000 likely voters show that 61 percent of Republican supporters “strongly” support deportations.

Forty percent of independents, and 21 percent of Democrats, blacks, and Biden’s 2020 voters “strongly” favor deportations.
The “strongly” opinions are more important than “somewhat” opinions because they are the most likely to determine how a person votes.
The survey showed that 50 percent of all Democrats favor deportations of illegals — 21 percent “strongly,” and 29 percent “somewhat.”

Many other polls show rising public opposition to legal and illegal migration amid President Joe Biden’s business-backed, easy-migration border policy.
The poll comes as Republican leaders in the Senate intensify their push to reach a border deal with Democrats, despite Democrats’ record of using legal and illegal methods to extract millions of poor and desperate migrants from poor countries. Many Democrats — and some Republicans — want the draft deal so they can minimize the visibility of Biden’s aggressive migration policy during the 2024 presidential campaign.
Support for deportations is weaker among some groups: Roughly 33 percent among women, 5 percent among women younger than 55, 34 percent among voters who vote in presidential elections, and 28 percent among “swing voters.” An additional 32 percent of “swing voters” say they “somewhat” support deportation.
