Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto Lobbies Joe Biden for Amnesty After Illegal Alien Is Accused of Killing Staffer

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), along with other Senate Democrats, is again lobbying President Joe Biden to take executive action in giving amnesty to some illegal aliens living in the United States. Cortez Masto’s renewed push for such legislation comes a month after one of her staffers was killed, allegedly by an illegal alien.

During a press conference alongside Sens. Alex Padilla (D-CA), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Ed Markey (D-MA), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), Cortez Masto urged Biden to move forward with executive orders that would offer legal status to certain groups of illegal aliens.

Those offered amnesty would include those married to American citizens, those deemed “essential” to the U.S. economy, and those enrolled and eligible for former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Cortez Masto’s renewed push for amnesty is significant, as her lobbying comes about a month after her state senior adviser, Kurt Englehart, 38 years old, was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Washoe County, Nevada, allegedly caused by 18-year-old illegal alien Elmer Rueda-Linares.
