What Was the Agenda Behind the Biden–Harris U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021?
Vice President Kamala Harris's 2021 bill would have given 11 million illegal immigrants a route to U.S. citizenship. The Biden-Harris administration's major attempt at immigration reform, known as the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, was ultimately unsuccessful in getting past Congress. The bill increased the number of seats available for the green card lottery and tried to replace the term "alien" in U.S. immigration law with "noncitizen." Criticizing the law as a broad amnesty that would encourage illegal immigration, conservatives denounced it.
After her recent appearance with Bret Baier of Fox News, Vice President Kamala Harris came under increased attack for her handling of the border problem. Harris supported the Biden administration's initial immigration reforms throughout the discussion, citing the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 as evidence that would have provided a comprehensive solution to the nation's immigration problems.
On their first day in office, the government introduced the Act, which provided an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants with an eight-year path to citizenship. The plan eventually failed in Congress, despite the White House's description that it would restore "compassion and American values" to the immigration system. In addition to increasing the number of green card lottery participants from 55,000 to 80,000 each year, the plan would have issued green cards to farmworkers, DACA recipients, and individuals with Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
Immigration is still a crucial topic as the 2024 election approaches, and Trump has a significant advantage over Harris because voters believe he is better on border policy. Although Harris supports the measure, the continuous border surge and its failure to garner legislative support have been key areas of contention during her campaign.
