Mike Lindell's epic amnesty plan
CIS resident fellow Andrew Arthur said "This proposal is an amnesty. It’s an amnesty for a population of undetermined size. It has all of the deficiencies of any amnesty, and it threatens to have a huge impact on the working population in the United States." First, let's dig into some of the particulars of Lindell's proposal.
According to the article, "Lindell, a Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota, has proposed the creation of a six-month deportation moratorium during which illegal aliens can apply for a conditional work visa. That visa would not expire and allow illegal aliens to work in the United States." Imagine how many illegal aliens can apply for that permanent work visa in a 6-month period.
"Proposals like this surface from time to time," Arthur said. "They all have more or less the same features, that it would be everybody regardless of when they got here, or some population of people who arrived before date certain."Mike Lindell in his own words: There isn't any doubt. Mike Lindell is pro amnesty. If a GOP governor initiates this without the constitutional authoriity, Democrats will follow suit. Once that happens, all hell breaks loose.He described the plan as "a massive amnesty" that would "drive down wages for workers at the lowest end of the economic spectrum. It would put them in direct competition with American workers, and by that I mean not just U.S. citizens but lawful immigrants [and] green card holders."
First, Lindell didn't have the constitutional authority to do this. Next, why washe thinking of a federal issue when he's running for governor? Third, why isn't he thinking about solutions for things like Medicaid fraud, property taxes and education? On his campaign website, Lindell didn't mention fraud or tax cuts. He calls himself a Republican?
