A “path to citizenship” should be granted to “all” illegal aliens in the United States, according to Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer who received backlash online after arguing that such a move could solve the problem of the country’s declining population.
Standing outside the U.S. Capitol grounds on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the press that immigrants “make us stronger now more than ever.”
“Now more than ever, we’re short of workers,” he said. “We have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to.”
Consequently, he argued, “the only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants — the DREAMers,” referencing illegal immigrants brought to America by their parents, “and all of them.”
“Because our ultimate goal is to help the DREAMers but [also] get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here.”
During the conference, Senate Democrats called on 10 Senate Republicans to join them in passing an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, enrolled and eligible for former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, in the lame-duck Congress.
In response, many took to social media to slam the top Democrat’s remarks.
“@SenSchumer now wants amnesty for 11 million ‘undocumented’ individuals. That’s strange. He previously called them ‘illegal’ and said illegal immigration is ‘wrong,’”’ wrote Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ).
