Dem Rep Torched Over ‘Reckless’ Call For Mass Amnesty

A House Democrat is facing blowback from Republicans after saying this week there should be a “speedy path to citizenship” for all the millions of illegal immigrants in the United States.

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) called for mass amnesty during a press conference to introduce a bill that seeks the public disclosure of data from facilities operated by or are affiliated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“We are an immigrant-filled community,” Frost said. “We are a community filled with people. And yes, people are going to have different statuses, and to my Republican colleagues who say, ‘I don’t want any undocumented people in this country,’ I actually agree with you. So, let’s document every single one of them with a speedy path to citizenship. That’s how we fix this problem.”

The comment was clipped and posted on social media, prompting criticism from the top Republican in Congress.

“You can’t make this stuff up!” said a post on X from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). “At a Democrat rally today, Rep. Maxwell Frost proposed BLANKET AMNESTY for EVERY SINGLE ONE of the MILLIONS of ILLEGAL aliens Joe Biden let into the country. Republicans will never let this dangerous idea happen. We must defend common sense and the rule of law.”

Others also sounded off.

“Reckless and wrong!” exclaimed the National Republican Congressional Committee.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller warned: “If the Democrats were to obtain full political control of Washington they would swiftly complete the project of relocating the destitute and developing nations of the world in your communities and then giving them the full rights and privileges of US citizenship.”

Chuck Ross, an investigative reporter for the Washington Free Beacon, made an observation that underscored Frost’s growing influence in the Democratic Party.

“Notably, Maxwell Frost is vice-chair of the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, which is tasked with ‘developing and supporting a strong Caucus-wide message that forcefully communicates where House Democrats stand,'” Ross said on X. “And that messages [sic] is supposed to ‘sharply contrasts that with the extreme policies of House Republicans.'”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
