Kelly: DREAM Act Unfair to Millions of Immigrants Who Followed the Law and Would Make Biden Border Crisis Worse

March 18, 2021

Washington, D.C - President Joe Biden signaled to the world that America's borders are open, and House Democrats supported that policy today by passing H.R. 6, the so-called  "Dream and Promise Act of 2021." This bill would provide amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.

Representative Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) voted against the legislation and released this statement:

"I am sympathetic to those who were brought to our country at a young age illegally, but granting them citizenship tells the world that our borders are open and we will reward lawbreakers. That policy would make the Biden border crisis worse by sending another signal to parents across the globe that getting their child to our borders is a ticket into America. It would also be unfair to immigrants who were welcomed into the American family according to our laws."
