Democrat Falsely Claims ‘There’s No Amnesty’ in Biden’s ‘Build Back Better Act’

CLAIM: Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) claimed President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better Act,” which she voted for, does not include amnesty for illegal aliens residing in the United States.

VERDICT: False. The filibuster-proof reconciliation package, passed by House Democrats, includes an amnesty for 6.5 million illegal aliens.

During a virtual town hall this week, Spanberger was asked by a constituent how she can “justify” her vote for Biden’s Build Back Better Act, even as she considers herself a “moderate,” since the bill has “provisions regarding amnesty for illegals while our borders are open, and massive expansion of social programs.”

Spanberger claims “there’s no amnesty in the bill,” saying she “proudly” supported the bill.

The bill, despite Spanberger’s claims, includes an amnesty for roughly 6.5 million illegal aliens who would be shielded from arrest and deportation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency while securing work permits, driver’s licenses, and travel documents.

If signed into law, the amnesty would be the largest in American history.
