President Joe Biden praised illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for DACA as “model citizens” during a Cinco de Mayo event at the White House. He also announced plans to offer amnesty to DACA recipients and those eligible for the program. Biden emphasized his goal to provide a direct path to citizenship for these individuals, whom he views as valuable contributors to American society.
In addition, Biden called on Congress to take action on granting amnesty, highlighting the importance of moving forward with this initiative. However, concerns have been raised about the potential costs associated with a DACA amnesty, including chain migration and increased public assistance needs. Previous analyses have estimated significant financial expenses for taxpayers if such a policy is implemented.
Critics argue that providing amnesty to DACA illegal aliens could have adverse effects on the job market and wages for American workers. Despite these challenges, Biden remains committed to his goal of offering a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients and eligible individuals.
