Durbin Declares ‘Gang of Six’ Amnesty Is Dead
breitbart ^ | NEIL MUNRO

Posted on 01/24/2018 12:35:30 PM PST by davikkm

Sen. Richard Durbin has announced the death of his “Gang of Six” amnesty-giveaway bill and tepidly promised to develop a replacement bill sought by the party’s pro-amnesty base. But Durbin also listed a series of basic immigration problems he and his allies deliberately ignored during their media-aided effort to rush an amnesty rough Congress. That sudden recognition of well-known problems suggests that the Democrats leaders are trying to avoid another self-defeating debate on amnesty that would further damage many of their 2018 candidates.

Durbin said Wednesday morning:

We came up with an agreement. We presented it to the president through Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a Republican, on January 11. [The President] rejected it, so, as of today, we really don’t have a bill before us, and we are starting anew with a conversation about what to do to meet the president’s challenge.

Durbin’s push for amnesty played the largest role in creating this political illegals-before-Americans disaster for the Democrats, which has boosted GOP morale, narrowed the Democrats’ generic polling advantage, and has given the GOP a hard-hitting emotional argument to turn out their base and to win over swing-voters in November.

Hello ICE? There are a bunch of illegals yelling in the senate rotunda. Some guy named Dick Durbin authorized it. You might want to grab him too.

Great news. I’ll wear a red dress to the funeral, Dick.

Little Dick Durbin
Tightened his turban
Opened his mouth to bray.
Along came a Dreamer
Who pooped out a “steamer”
And frightened Dick Durbin away.

The sooner the better, IMHO.

I’m hoping the DACA crowd protesting at Shmucky’s place go after Durbin too. Maybe bring their Antifa brothers with them.

If he wants a credible plan, how about start with:

Could be more, but with that, maybe they could then plan what to do with kids brought over less than 8 years old prior to 2008, thus still under or at 18 now. Everyone else gets deported. Period. No exception.

Negotiation should focus on how long to allow illegal aliens to leave, not if they have to, and on what terms can they apply to immigrate legally to the US (e.g., never if deported, after 5 years or something if leave without formal deport).

Just got one of Trump’s daily emails. He says he will walk away from any deal that doesn’t “fund our wall AND fails to stop the floodgates of illegal immigration.”

Trump said “Chuck needs to understand that this isn’t just my demand. These are the non-negotiable demands of the American people!”

Won’t work, those all make too much sense. You can tell the Dems are in trouble, they are fighting for amnesty, making it easy for illegals to vote in California, trying to legalize voting for felons in Florida.

illegals-before-Americans disaster for the Democrats, which has boosted GOP morale,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For decades Bush league Republicans have told us that the only solution was abandoning the rule of law and surrendering the country.

This “illegals-before-Americans” could have been used long before now, but the Bush League still controls most state and national GOP organizations.

I’m liking your plan.

I am not btw liking the e-verify as the GOPe in Congress have cast it — with biometric national ID cards for all citizens somehow required as part of it.

Would have liked to have read the whole article but Brietbart mobile just blew up my Android. Last click for them, what a crappy ad-laden mess that was.

The “gangs” that sit in back rooms making dirty deals and prostitute themselves before every camera are pathetic losers who do not have America’s best interests in mind.

It is only way to root out illegals. We all have ID anyway. I really do not see the problem with this. Do you fear your driver’s license? or passport? eVerify is just checking that all is legal.

The fact that Dirty Dick Durbin LIED about what the POTUS said, AND, that the POTUS' supporters (and others, see below) didn't give a good ******* anyway, had an awful lot to do with it. Foot-shootin' Lying Racist Dirty Dick Durbin, thanks for further ****ing your party come November. Moron. Thanks davikkm.
