Oct. 17, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement praising former President Donald Trump for killing the illegal immigration amnesty bill:
“Thank goodness that President Donald Trump stopped the flood of illegal aliens who would have entered the country if Kamala Harris’ preferred legislation would have passed Congress.
“President Trump stopped more than 1.8 million illegal aliens being waved into our country every year – that’s how many illegal aliens the bill would have allowed into the United States under the ‘immigration reform bill’ which Harris attacks the former president for opposing. Each of these illegal aliens would have been given green cards allowing them to compete with Americans for jobs. Every one of these illegal aliens would have been able to continue the chain migration flood which crowds out people from legally immigrating to America if they don’t already have a close relative in the country. And the bill would have ended wall funding until 2028, effectively tying the 2025 incoming administration’s hands from legislating real border security measures.
“Senate negotiators came away with a bill that puts America’s citizens last. Donald Trump stopped it, and that is one of his great achievements since he left office on January 20, 2021.”
