Establishment Republicans and Democrats are teaming up on Capitol Hill to bring back legislation that would give amnesty to hundreds of thousands of young illegal aliens in the United States. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Dick Durbin (R-IL) are working on a replica version of the Obama-era “DREAM Act,” according to McClatchy, which has long been supported by Democrats and the Republican establishment.
When asked about working with Graham on resurrecting the amnesty legislation, Graham responded “We’re working on it. We’ll see.”
Under the legislation, the hundreds of thousands of young illegal aliens currently being protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, created by former President Obama, would be given legal status and potentially a pathway to citizenship.
Center for Immigration Studies Director Mark Krikorian told Breitbart Texas that if amnesty is being considered for the young illegal aliens, often referred to as DREAMers, then cutting down legal immigration levels should also be on the table.
“We’re talking about three-quarters of a million people included in this,” Krikorian said. “There’s got to be a legal immigration offset. The DREAM Act on its own is simply indefensible.”

Trump had better veto this before the ink is even dry....
Dear Dems and RINOs, go piss up a rope.
Dead on Arrival
I prefer “Keep Dreaming Act.” Deport, and keep dreaming.
Trump will accept this in the fall in exchange for full funding of his border wall.
Go write this on the wall now and come back in October and tell me I was right.
Veto this turd!
“Trump will accept this in the fall in exchange for full funding of his border wall.”
Good chance you’re right. If he does they will find a way to block the wall after the deal count on that too.
This is actually good. This way we’ll know who to primary next year.
The Cheap Labor Express Republicans have to go.
Flake, Corker, Hatch and Heller in 2018.
Graham and Alexander in 2020.
McCain, Murkowsky, Hoven and Rubio in 2022.
We must stop re-electing people who betray us.
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Gardner, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse are all Cheap Labor Express Republicans.
They have the votes to pass it.
These GOPe/Rino idiots are bound and determined to throw away the wins Trump has brought the party and then, wittingly or not, turn the Republicans into a long term minority party.
This country never needed an Army of German,Japanese or Russian to invade it. We have done it to ourselves every f-ing decade with another treasonous bill letting in tens of millions of colonists. WTH is wrong with this country? That’s rhetorical. More than half of America is brainwashed to brain dead. Our government is made up of three branches of about 1000 King Georges. RIP America.
Don’t forget McConnell in 2020.
Incredibly dense politicians. rinos must be booted in primaries.
They’ve been determined to do so for a long time.
The Republican party and the Democrat party are enemies of this country. Examine their deeds.
Government should not under any circumstances reward criminals who invade our country illegally. If those people want legal status, they should go home and get permission to immigrate through proper channels. Otherwise, they need to be deported and permanently barred from legal entry.

You’re wrong. Not because Trump isn’t know for cutting deals, but because the Rinos and the Dems will never fund the wall of their own free will. This is an attempt to derail Trump’s illegal alien crack down with an issue that most of the public supports: Dreamers. Trumps been smart in not falling into that trap with DACA so they’re going to try to force his hand on the issue.
