More than 80 lawmakers are urging President Biden to grant legal status to millions of migrants, citing the threat of deportations under a possible future Trump administration.
Democratic lawmakers are pushing President Biden to grant amnesty to undocumented migrants before they can be deported by a potential future Trump administration. 'We urge your Administration to take all available actions to streamline pathways to lawful status for undocumented immigrants, providing certainty to the American businesses, communities, and families who rely on them,' reads a letter to Biden on Wednesday that was signed by over 80 lawmakers.
Trump has promised to deport millions of undocumented migrants if he regains the presidency next year, going so far as to say he would use the National Guard to help carry out the massive operation. 'If I thought things were getting out of control, I would have no problem using the military,' the former president said in an interview with Time magazine last month. 'We have to have safety in our country. We have to have law and order in our country.
That possibility has some lawmakers pushing the president for action now, with the letter concluding that doing so would 'provide much needed relief for undocumented immigrants and the American businesses, families, and communities that rely upon them.' Neither the White House nor the Biden campaign immediately responded to Fox News Digital requests for comment.
