Biden Administration Quietly Grants Amnesty To 850,000 Illegal Immigrants

In a secretive and controversial move, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has granted amnesty to 850,000 illegal immigrants just days before President Joe Biden leaves office. This sweeping decision has been labeled a calculated attempt to undermine President-elect Donald Trump’s forthcoming immigration crackdown.

The decision, executed through an 18-month extension of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program, shields 234,000 Salvadorans and 600,000 Venezuelans from deportation. Mayorkas cited “severe weather” in El Salvador and political unrest in Venezuela as the reasons for the extension, which also automatically renews work permits through March 2026.

“El Salvador’s extension of TPS is based on geological and weather events, including significant storms and heavy rainfall in 2023 and 2024,” Mayorkas stated. However, critics argue that El Salvador has stabilized under President Nayib Bukele, who has significantly improved the nation’s economy and security, making this justification weak and politically motivated.

Many believe this move was deliberately timed to make it harder for President-elect Trump to deliver on his promise to secure the border and deport illegal immigrants. This sweeping amnesty could complicate Trump’s efforts to reverse Biden-era immigration policies and enforce the rule of law.

The amnesty granted to Venezuelans is also raising concerns. By allowing thousands of Venezuelans to stay in the U.S., critics argue the Biden administration is indirectly supporting Nicolás Maduro’s socialist regime by keeping political opposition abroad and enabling financial support to flow back into Venezuela.

Under Mayorkas, the TPS program has ballooned to nearly one million recipients, tripling in size. This surge has overwhelmed American communities, placing significant strain on housing, healthcare and employment opportunities. While corporations benefit from a larger labor force, many Americans feel sidelined.

President-elect Trump now faces the challenge of dismantling this expansive amnesty program and restoring strong immigration enforcement policies. The Biden administration’s quiet maneuver has only intensified the uphill battle to secure America’s borders and prioritize the interests of American citizens.
