Mark Meadows Draws Line in Sand: No DACA Amnesty in Spending Bill
Breitbart ^ | 2 Jan 2018 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 01/03/2018 8:05:17 AM PST by Cheerio

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, on Tuesday said there should be no Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty deal contained within the government funding bill coming up in January.

The important move by Meadows aims to take government shutdown leverage away from Democrats in the upcoming DACA battles — something that President Donald Trump alluded to on Tuesday morning on Twitter when he bashed Democrats for not being serious about DACA solutions.

NO AMNESTY ANYWHERE ANYTIME!! Not ever again as Swimmer Kennedy promised in 1986 when shoving that amnesty down Reagan's throat with a lie. Call your Reps and Senators and demand they hold the line.

We have maybe 50 House members and a handful of Senators on our side.
The rest are Bush League Republicans who want to keep the Cheap Labor Express running.

2018 needs to be the year of Cantorizing the weasels.

These DACA folks don't care about citizenship. It's the Dems...telling them that is the path that they should seek.

They just don't want to go back to the hell holes that they came from.

The USSC has already said that we MUST educate them thru and including grade 12.

They can show up and get taken care of at any emergency room and get treated.

They know that citizenship is not a necessity except to vote....and they can care less about that, too...unless they can get a carton of cigarettes out of the deal.

Reagan said he considered that the biggest regret of his entire presidency.

If we can get a real wall, end chain migration, end diversity visa’s, end 3rd world immigration (only merit-based entry) in exchange for 800,000 in amnesty, that would be as good a deal as we can get.

The problem is congress holding firm on the parts we like.

Problem is that just like in 1986, that 700,000 will turn out to be 3.5 million and add to the pressure to amnesty the rest.

Every DACA bill introduced expands eligibility to far beyond the 700,000 already signed up.

That’s why chain migration has to end with this bill.

Force the Democrats to vote against a bill like this and they will own it.

I'm not sure I buy the "cheap labor" aspect of this. It is all about future democrat votes.

NO. those possibly receiving amnesty have to pay, give or agree to some thing as well. It needs to hurt them since it’s hurt us all these years and will hurt us some more by granting them amnesty since some now have kids etc attached to them that will likely be granted amnesty too.

There is only one winning deal to be made on DACA.

700,000 already enrolled get a green card in exchange for complete wall funding, end anchor babies, end chain migration, mandatory e-verify for work and benefits, massively increased funding for expedited removals starting with the parents of the amnestied.

Yes, the ultimate goal is to steal the country from the citizens by flooding it with foreigners.
The citizens and our sovereignty stand in the way of the new world order they envision.

If you keep giving amnesty, they'll keep coming.

DACA is amnesty.

Any policy towards illegals must - MUST - address the incentives that are set up by that policy. Are you incentivizing more to try their hand at illegal entry or are you incentivizing them to stay home and apply through the legal process?

With 600 million people south of our porous non-existent southern border and untold millions outside the Americas who might also avail themselves of this easy access, there can be only one immigration policy -

Stop giving prizes

for illegal entry.

Any measure that permits those who entered illegally to benefit from that illegal act is amnesty. And any amnesty will bring millions more invaders.

This must be stopped.

Will you help stop this?

You can help:
Right-click this image and save it. Post it on your Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts. Send a copy to your Senators and Reps right now and whenever you communicate with them. When you get fundraising solicitations, include a copy in your reply. Send copies to your friends and family and ask them to do likewise. Spread it everywhere.

In the last ten years or so it seems the whole purpose for the existence of The United States is to be an unassimilated boarding house for the Third World.

“You DACA go home now”

President Trump put the DACA ball in Congress’ court and now these open borders anti-Trumpers are standing there with thumbs up butts, paralyzed.
Give the Congress critters books and they eat the covers; give them victory, they act like we lost.

So they are snookered: vote for DACA, get sent home; don’t do anything, it expires, the illegals go home and the critters’ paymasters are furious.
March 5th, tick tick tick tick

(Here’s a novel idea: how about Congress working for the American people instead of cheap labor lobbyists?)
