Senators crafting bill to limit deportations under Trump Democratic and Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are working on legislation that would limit deportations if President-elect Donald Trump repeals President Obama’s executive orders on illegal immigration.
Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), both members of the panel, are crafting a bill to shield children living in the country illegally from being deported if they grew up in the United States and have stayed out of trouble.
The bill is likely to have the support of another Republican on the committee, Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.). He was a member of the so-called Gang of Eight that put together the comprehensive immigration reform bill that passed the Senate in 2013.
Trump has vowed to repeal Obama’s executive orders that halted deportations for people who came to the country illegally at a young age, as well as deportations of the parents of citizens and lawful permanent residents.

Throw the clown out of the party.
Graham still stabbing us in the back, wow, what a surprise!
NOT!
Are they going to ram this through to get Obama’s signature?
They can “craft” all the bills they want.
If they try to pass them we will melt the DC phone lines.
How about a bill that limits how many stupid gun laws they can enforce? How about a bill that limits how how much of a “contribution” i have to make for income tax? I thought bills were supposed to originate in the house?
Amazing how these criminals want to protect their lawlessness. This is going to be interesting.
PING!
“Many of them may have to drop out of school, lose their jobs...”
Aww, pwoor wittle iwegals....Taking jobs and spots at schools away from Americans and legal immigrants.
Grahamnesty must be getting big paychecks from Saudi Arabia, Soros and CAIR.
[we hope to even have this bill ready before we leave next week, a bipartisan effort to say to the new president, ‘give these young people a fighting chance,’ ” Durbin said on the Senate floor.]
This from the ILLINOIS SENATOR who believes in PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION. Did he give unborn AMERICAN babies in the womb a fighting chance?
Linda is treading on very shakey ground.
I voted for Trump to make policy not he and his democrat boyfriend.
Seems like it is time to charge these clowns as accomplices to crimes committed by illegals.
Dick and Lindsay
No doubt both ping pong pizza connoisseurs.
Deport them first
“If they try to pass them we will melt the DC phone lines.”
We’ll soon find out if our “Republican” House and Senate are stupid enough to pass the Durbin-Graham bill.
Dead in the House, go for it Lindsay smoke out the Rinos
Trump could just posts Linda’s new cell phone number...
Americans always come last with these a-holes.
Lindsey Graham has pasta on the brain.
I think some tax $$$$ withholding from SC projects are in order.
