Democrats who wrote the immigration bill insisted they didn’t give up any core principles in agreeing to more fencing and adding 20,000 Border Patrol agents to the southwest border, telling Univision that illegal immigrants will still get legal status well before the new security kicks in.
In an interview on the Spanish-language network’s Al Punto political talk show Sunday, the four Democrats among the “Gang of Eight” that crafted the bill said the people currently in the U.S. illegally will have a definite pathway to eventual citizenship because the “triggers” in the bill can all be readily met.
“There are triggers but they’re the same triggers we’ve had in the bill before, the same exact type which are specific and attainable. These are triggers that we all feel comfortable with will be achieved and have to be achieved,” said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat.
The four Democrats have faced criticism from immigrant-rights groups who said the lawmakers conceded too much to Republicans in a search for votes.
One Maryland group derided the new security provisions as a “backroom deal” while Pablo Alvarado, director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, said Democrats were wasting their election mandate and caving to “xenophobes” in the GOP.
“It is time for senators and the president to take a stand and to start defending immigrants and our cherished national values, rather than pre-emptively conceding to nativists,” he said.

Oh, no worries, Pablo.... That security component is nothing more than a security blanket for those senaturds wanting political cover. It’ll NEVER happen. The border will be as porous as ever.
I’ll bet 50 years ago the typical Mexican never could conceived in his wildest dreams how utterly easy it was to take the USA down without firing a shot in wartime.
Democrats usually lie but on this rare occasion I believe they are telling the truth.
The Democrats and their special interest groups wrote over a thousand page bill. When you got a thousand pages on your side, amendments change very little.
Especially when no one reads it
Think the original open border policy was meant to allow Mexican States to be absorbed by the US. But a funny thing happened on the road to Rome. The Mexican national government collapsed and drug cartels took over. So the open border policy has became a negative national security issue.
...Exactly who is recognised as part of our “Our” national principals.
Stop Amnesty.
Tell congressmen we don’t want ANY bill passed, no matter what they promise. This bill is Amnesty for 30 million illegals, and a 1000 page bill that brings in 80 million 3rd world immigrants. The bill will destroy the U.S. and will turn the USA into a socialist state as is the democrats/Obama’s plan.

I guess Pablo is upset that there should have been more tax payer funds provided for free lawyers to make sure that the tens of millions of MEXICANS will never have to worry about being deported ever again,why not just provide buses for any Mexican or Islamist in Mexico who wants to come to America,it’s inhumane to allow them to trample all the fauna in the desert heat,I’m just so concerned about the children.
Then again the provision inserted in the bill by the socialist Bernie Sanders with millions in funding for 16 to 24 year olds who can’t find jobs,can set up Motels along the way way for the comfort of the newly minted saviours of our Democratic republic
I want to get a tshirt that says PROUD XENOPHOBE
Well, the solution is simple. The dems in the gang of eight should listen to their constituents and not vote for the bill.
“Democrats who wrote the immigration bill insisted they didn’t give up any core principles in agreeing to more fencing and adding 20,000 Border Patrol agents to the southwest border, telling Univision that illegal immigrants will still get legal status well before the new security kicks in. “
Because they know it will all fall by the wayside and never be enforced. It’s mustard on the crap sandwich.
Democrats + Principles = LOL
ALL the Senators practically handed out bottles of vaselline to the illegal aliens stomping around the senate offices for the last month.
