Several organizations tied to left-wing billionaire George Soros are throwing their support behind a Republican-backed bill that would grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. The surprising alliance is raising alarms among conservatives who argue the legislation undermines border security and rewards lawbreaking.
The bill—introduced by a group of moderate Republicans in the House—proposes legal status and a path to citizenship for long-term undocumented immigrants, including those brought to the U.S. as children. While proponents say the measure is a “compassionate solution,” critics warn it will trigger a new wave of illegal migration and weaken enforcement efforts.
Soros-linked advocacy groups, which have historically pushed for open-border policies, have publicly praised the legislation. They argue it represents a bipartisan breakthrough after years of gridlock on immigration reform. Conservative lawmakers, however, see the endorsement as proof that the bill aligns with leftist priorities rather than genuine Republican principles.
Immigration hardliners within the GOP have already vowed to oppose the measure, warning it would betray voters who elected Republicans to secure the border. They point to record-high illegal crossings in recent years and stress that amnesty will only embolden cartels and human traffickers. Many also note that President Trump’s administration has prioritized strict border control, making any amnesty effort a direct reversal of those policies.
The Trump White House has not yet issued a formal statement, but aides have previously signaled strong opposition to any amnesty proposal without ironclad border security guarantees.
