Democrat Mexican Senator Ruben Gallego unveiled a new immigration plan on Monday.
It offers citizenship pathways for “Dreamers” while claiming that it beefs up border enforcement, to appear like he’s a “on your side”.
He insists we don’t have to choose between security and reform.
This directly challenges President Trump’s stance.
To men, this looks like a subversive take. When someone takes a strong stance, the enemy usually reverts to a compromise tactic.
And that’s exactly what this looks like.

The Hill reports:
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) released a new immigration plan Monday, wading into a contentious debate as President Trump pushes to crack down at the border.
The plan from Gallego follows a similar pattern of other past proposals, promoting a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and others in the U.S. while pushing for expanded personnel and enforcement at the border.
“We don’t have to choose between border security and immigration reform. We can and should do both. Americans deserve the right to feel safe knowing their border is secure, but for decades, Congress has tried and failed to take action because politics got in the way. It’s time to push forward and enact a plan that works,” Gallego said in a statement.
Under Gallego’s plan, Congress would fund increased hiring for Border Patrol agents as well as hiring other staff to handle processing and transportation of migrants. It doesn’t fully endorse Trump’s border wall but does call for some barriers. It would also establish a migration reserve corps to help deal with “unexpected migrant surges” that would require more personnel.
It would also place new limitations on asylum — a protection sought by many migrants who claim they are fleeing persecution or danger. Gallego’s plan would raise the standard to obtain asylum protections — which is something also sought by Republicans, who argue the protections should be harder to gain.
He finally weaseled his way into politics. And now he wants to help invade this country.

Not the person you want in a position of power.
Hmm. I seem to recall Ruben Gallego and his boy Eric Swalwell riding camels on a junket to Qatar. When they were shutting down American businesses during the pandemic.https://t.co/6JCmtKzolH https://t.co/2hLZJQcbsK pic.twitter.com/io4UhTuLrj

Just listen to him admit that “it’s personal” in the clip below. What a surprise.
He doesn’t care about the American citizen. Sounds like he just wants all his cousins to flow in and get your jobs.
Our border and immigration systems are broken. Everyone knows it.
Today, I’m unveiling a 5-pillar plan to secure the border and fuel economic prosperity.
It’s time for Congress to act. pic.twitter.com/QWh4Gpgi6g
