Biden Administration Pushes Secretive Amnesty For 850,000 Illegal Immigrants

In a shocking move just days before leaving office, the Biden administration has quietly granted amnesty to 850,000 illegal immigrants. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas approved this sweeping measure in what critics are calling a calculated and deceptive effort to undermine incoming President Donald Trump’s strict immigration agenda.

Mayorkas extended the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for another 18 months, protecting 234,000 Salvadorans and 600,000 Venezuelans from deportation. The administration blamed “severe weather” in El Salvador and political instability in Venezuela for the decision. Work permits for these migrants will now extend through March 2026.

Mayorkas claimed that “geological and weather events, including significant storms and heavy rainfall in 2023 and 2024,” justified the TPS extension. Critics argue this is a flimsy excuse, noting that El Salvador has experienced a strong economic recovery under President Nayib Bukele, who has cracked down on crime and gang violence.

Conservatives have condemned this amnesty as a strategic move to block President-elect Trump’s planned immigration crackdown. Trump’s policies aimed at enforcing border security and deporting illegal immigrants will now face legal and administrative roadblocks due to Mayorkas’ last-minute decision.

The extension of TPS for Venezuelans has also drawn criticism. Opponents argue that allowing Venezuelan migrants to stay in the U.S. benefits Nicolás Maduro’s oppressive regime by keeping political opposition off the streets and allowing remittances to flow back into Venezuela, indirectly propping up the dictatorship.

Under Mayorkas’ leadership, the TPS program has tripled in size, now covering nearly one million migrants. This surge has overwhelmed American communities, leading to increased strain on housing, healthcare and job markets. While business groups cheer the influx of cheap labor, everyday Americans are left to deal with rising costs and job competition.

President-elect Trump now faces the challenge of reversing this sweeping amnesty and restoring border security, a task that has been made more difficult by the outgoing administration’s last-minute maneuvering.
