    | Amnesty is, of course, not the bill's only problem. It also
    | increases legal immigration, a fact mostly ignored by the media. The
    | budget bill would "recapture" up to 400,000 unclaimed green cards
    | from years past and give them to foreigners, which will
    | substantially increase immigration without raising the number of
    | green cards awarded annually, according to the Democrats [Democrats
    | Push Fix for Green-Card Logjam in Social-Spending Bill, by Michelle
    | Hackman, Wall Street Journal, November 5, 2021]. They claim they
    | need to hand out these green cards because at least 4 million
    | foreigners await a green card.

    | While infrastructure at the U.S.-Mexico border was ignored, illegal
    | immigration has skyrocketed in recent months. In Fiscal Year 2021,
    | which ended on September 30, more than two million illegal aliens
    | crossed the southern border -- the highest level of illegal
    | immigration in American history.
