In case you were unfamiliar, here's how the game has been played since forever.
Have a weak border.
Let tons of illegals in continuously, doing nothing to stop it.
Keep it up until the public has had enough.
"Stop" immigration.
Claim that to free up resources to blocking newcomers and/or deporting recent arrivals, we need give amnesty to everyone who came in the years between #1 and #4. After all, they have "roots" now.
Once it passes, go to 1.
the administration’s plans may involve offering legal status to migrants who have been in the U.S. for at least ten years. This aligns with broader efforts to address the status of undocumented immigrants who have established deep roots in their communities.
They want to send the message "if you can hide for 10 years, you're a citizen, so keep on coming," while trying to look like it's some sort of compromise in order to trick normies.
It's actually worse than a 'weak' border because they pay these people to come here, with YOUR money. How many people show up just because it sounds like fun and it's all expense paid vacation?

Reagan did the same thing back in '87 when he granted "amnesty" to 3 million illegals.
I suspect the same thing was happening then. Uniparty goons taking advantage of a President that was already addled with Alzheimer's.
Or addled with the threat of getting shot again.
100%. That dodge started with Reagan. Pledge a secure border, grant amnesty, then do nothing about the border.
