In a surprising turn of events, CNN’s senior political commentator, Scott Jennings, has fiercely criticized President Joe Biden’s recent amnesty plan, questioning the administration’s motives and decision-making process. Jennings’ comments have sparked debate within the political sphere, particularly given CNN’s reputation as a left-leaning network often supportive of Biden’s policies.
Jennings, a conservative commentator, did not mince words when he stated, “The reality is he’s governing by political panic if this is such a great idea. Why didn’t he do this on day one? Why didn’t he do last week’s executive order on day one? Why did he cancel all of Trump’s immigration orders?”
Critics argue that Jennings’ sharp critique of Biden’s amnesty plan highlights another significant failure of the Biden administration.
They claim that even commentators on CNN, typically aligned with Biden, are now openly questioning the President’s policies and decision-making. This has led to increased scrutiny of Biden’s handling of immigration issues.

The President’s amnesty plan, which would provide a path to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the U.S. illegally who are married to U.S. citizens, has been met with mixed reactions. Supporters argue that it is a humane approach to immigration, while critics, like Jennings, see it as a political move driven by panic rather than sound policy.
Jennings’ comments have also raised questions about the Biden administration’s broader immigration strategy.
Critics point to the cancellation of Trump’s immigration orders as evidence that the current administration is more focused on undoing the previous administration’s policies than on implementing effective immigration reforms.
The controversy surrounding Biden’s amnesty plan and Jennings’ critique of it underscore the ongoing debate over immigration policy in the United States.
As the Biden administration continues to navigate this complex issue, it remains to be seen how it will respond to criticism from both conservative commentators and its own supporters.
