Senators to pursue immigration deal over Trump’s objections
The Washington Times ^ | January 12, 2018 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 01/12/2018 1:25:46 PM PST by jazusamo

The two senators who struck a deal with each other on an immigration deal signaled Friday they’ll push ahead with their bargain despite opposition from President Trump, saying they sense growing bipartisan support.

The comments by Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican, came a day after they were in a meeting where the president reportedly used a disparaging expletive to refer to some developing countries such as Haiti and El Salvador.

Mr. Durbin, meanwhile, described the deal he and Mr. Graham reached as “a genuine compromise.”

YOu know if they pass something and he says no they will have the votes to over-ride it and it is over from there. They will always do it from then on.

Keep in mind that if they keep diddling around or put a platter of **** on his desk, in either event the poor DACA dears start going home.
Another example of how Americans park their own cars while illegals get curb service:
The recent tax bill gave the government the right to expect tax penalty payments from those who refuse to join the Obamacare Ponzi scheme for this tax year and tax year 2018, ending December 2018.
But you can bet your boots the critters would expect to the president to sign something allowing the illegals to stay before that deadline arrives triggering deportation.

If they don’t agree to border security they can go pound sand. We’re not taking any more of latin America’s huddled masses yearning to live free.

Are they trying to get a veto proof bill passed? Do they need 2/3rs of the House then?

Ryan is a slimy eel (apologies to slimy eels) but members of the HOR are more accessible than Senators and easier replaced. And they know It.

We The People need to be proactive by calling and writing our Representatives NOW.
Let them know that any bill that passes the House must first fully fund and build the wall, end chain migration, put an end to the visa lottery and put stiff penalties on illegals and their employers.

I have called my Rep and Senators, even though both senators are rats.

It provides 10% funding for the wall which is nothing. Leaves chain migration in tact except for a pittance of a cut. It still allows people from shithole countries to come here.

Golly gee Wally. So the two Senators that stepped into Trumps DACA trap, are the same ones who claim he said sh#thole. What are the odds of that. Time to veto the sh#thole dreamers act.

They have delusions of getting a veto-proof number to “shove it up Trump’s arse”.....even the RINOs know what that would mean for them....
