Joe Biden plans to introduce immigration bill ‘immediately’: reports

President-elect Biden plans to move quickly to undo the Trump administration’s most cherished agenda items — including introducing a bill that would allow 11 million illegal immigrants to become permanent US residents, and give them the right to pursue citizenship after an eight-year wait, according to immigration rights activists who have seen the plans.

As expected, Biden also plans to issue an immediate executive order to extend DACA, the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that shields young people brought to the US as children from deportation. The new order will keep the program in place for another four years, the activists said.

“I will introduce an immigration bill immediately,” Biden told reporters Jan. 8.

The new waiting period would shave five years off the 13-year delay required under current rules.

The bill would not try to gain Republican support by linking the changes to border-security or enforcement measures, the Los Angeles Times reported — a sharp departure from past compromise attempts.

That makes it “the most aggressive agenda that I have seen on immigration reform from day one,” immigration advocate Hector Sanchez Barba of the group Mi Familia Vota told Politico.

“It’s hard to see how any Republican jumps on board,” GOP strategist Ryan Girdusky told The Post — but it’s likely just the administration’s opening offer.

“They’re obviously going to start making concessions to win over senators like Lindsay Graham and Ben Sasse,” he said.
