Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto , Alex Padilla , and Ben Ray Luján publicly called on President Joe Biden Wednesday to extend the timeline of protections for Dreamers, illegal immigrants who were brought to the country as children, and other groups protected through the Temporary Protected Status program.
“President Biden still has power while he’s in office to help prevent this disaster, and so I’m joining my colleagues to urge the Biden administration to swiftly protect eligible immigrants from countries like Nicaragua, El Salvador, Ecuador, from having their lives in America stripped away by restoring their TPS protections and extending them,” Padilla said.
Cortez Masto was skeptical about Trump’s stated willingness to help Dreamers and pointed out that he had said the same thing in 2018 before later refusing to sign a bipartisan bill on the issue.
