House Report Unveils Biden-Harris “Quiet Amnesty” Strategy

A new House Judiciary Committee report reveals that the Biden-Harris administration has pursued a calculated “quiet amnesty” policy, keeping nearly one million illegal immigrants in the U.S. indefinitely by exploiting immigration court backlogs. This isn’t the result of an overloaded system—it’s an intentional strategy. The Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) sees this as undeniable proof that Washington’s agenda is to leave Texas vulnerable, burdening our communities with a federal immigration policy designed to weaken our state’s ability to protect its own borders and citizens.

Rather than seeking solutions, the administration appears committed to bypassing Texas’ concerns by enabling a steady influx of illegal immigration. Texans have long seen the consequences of federal policies at our southern border, but this report confirms what we’ve suspected: the federal government is actively choosing to disregard the impact of open-border policies on Texas.

A Federal Agenda at Odds with Texas

Federal leadership isn’t struggling with a broken system—it’s weaponizing it. This “quiet amnesty” policy doesn’t reflect a lack of resources or capacity but a clear decision to keep illegal immigrants in Texas, regardless of the impact on our communities. The report details how federal agencies systematically sidestep the judicial process, directing immigration judges to dismiss cases without adjudicating them. Each of these decisions reflects a deliberate choice to weaken Texas’ control over its border.

This strategy reveals a Washington agenda that disregards the safety, security, and well-being of Texans. The Biden administration’s intention appears to be keeping Texas on the hook for policies that suit federal ambitions but have zero alignment with our state’s needs. Texas has worked to uphold order and safety along its border, but federal actions make this task impossible.

Silencing Judges to Push Federal Policy

The federal agenda goes even further. According to the report, Chief Immigration Judge Sheila McNulty of the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review allegedly imposed a gag order on immigration judges, preventing them from discussing backlogs or the administration’s policies. This isn’t about avoiding embarrassment; it’s about silencing those who witness the impact of these policies firsthand. The report even notes that this directive violates open government laws, but the federal administration seems unfazed by legal constraints as it advances its own border agenda.

At TNM, we recognize that accountability and transparency are non-negotiable values. The federal decision to shield its policies from public scrutiny sends a strong signal: Texas’ border challenges are a feature, not a flaw, of Washington’s approach. Federal officials have chosen secrecy over transparency, leaving Texans to manage the consequences without any real recourse. An independent Texas, free from federal directives, could ensure an open, transparent approach to border security that serves the people—not distant interests.

Why Texas Must Control Its Own Border

This revelation isn’t just a report on federal inaction; it’s a wake-up call for Texans to consider the importance of controlling our own borders. Washington’s calculated “quiet amnesty” strategy makes it clear that federal intentions are not in alignment with Texas’ needs. Every dismissed case, every restriction placed on judges, and every silent directive from federal leadership signals a commitment to policies that disregard Texas’ security.

For Texans, self-governance isn’t just about policy—it’s about protection. An independent Texas could implement immigration standards designed to support our state’s economy, uphold community safety, and respect the rights and expectations of Texans. Our state’s future depends on a Texas-led approach to border security, one that prioritizes the well-being of Texas citizens above federal schemes.

With each new revelation, the path forward becomes clearer: independence offers Texas the only realistic path to managing its own borders and securing its future. For a prosperous and independent Texas, TNM calls for a government that puts Texans first and frees us from a federal system whose priorities are no longer ours.
