WASHINGTON (SBG) - The Build Back Better agenda that has passed the House and is set to head to the Senate includes a number of provisions on immigration that could be on the chopping block, including a provision to grant work permits to about 6.5 million undocumented people in the U.S.

“There's also a provision in there for a tax credit for illegal aliens who have children that are in the U.S.," said former acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan to The National Desk’s Jan Jeffcoat. “Think about that you can illegally enter our borders as a family, and then you're going to be rewarded by being paid to have your kid here illegally.”

Morgan argues that the provisions included in the bill send the message “loud and clear that our borders don’t matter.”

“This is going to impact American taxpayers. They just don't realize their taxpayer dollars are going to continue to give state and federal benefits to millions and millions of illegal aliens here,” said Morgan. “This is going to act as an incentive for more illegal immigration negatively impacting our border security and impacting every aspect of our nation's public health safety and national security.”

The Western Sheriffs Association recently issued a declaration of no confidence in Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

“America’s sheriffs have watched in disbelief as the southern border has turned into an invisible line in the sand. Border Patrol agents have been relegated to daycare supervisors at housing units and when they do attempt to act they are scrutinized, placed on administrative leave, and investigated for political gain,” said the Western Sheriffs Association in a statement.

Morgan says Mayorkas is being used by the Biden administration to further the agenda of an open border strategy.

“At least what we could get is maybe a secretary that would stop lying to the American people and be more transparent about what's actually happening on the border.”
