If the “deal” does not include a wall, it likely won’t even pass the Senate, much less the House.
And even if it did include a wall, passes, and does not include an end to chain migration and visa lottery, it will be vetoed with zero chance of override.
This is nothing more than an opportunity for Senate Democrats to posture one last time for their base. After all, the election is but 9 months away and slaughter awaits them.
More than a dozen will soon “moderate”.
Well this scares me because if Graham is involved I am sure I will hate it
“Two pillar” means it’s DOA. The Trump plan has four pillars. They are leaving out chain migration and visa lottery.
A few RINOs and Democrats agree to try to pull a fast one on the American middle class.
That’s hardly news.
I’ve looked at Trump’s “four pillar” plan and it’s the best the DC crowd has proposed.
The only problem is with the 10-12 year path to citizenship. It should be 10-12 years:
1. without SNAP or Medicaid welfare benefits for the person or their offspring and
2. including at least five tax years in which “total tax” exceeded $1,000 on a 1040/1040A/1040EZ.
I’d add a fifth pillar, removal of the “anchor baby” clause from our Constitution.
Keane, Flake, Graham, Collins . . . not seeing anything good coming out of that.
“This is nothing more than an opportunity for Senate Democrats to posture one last time for their base. After all, the election is but 9 months away and slaughter awaits them.”
Absolutely!
Agree. The presence of population-replacement advocates like Flake, Graham, etc confirms that this is a deeply anti-American bill that seeks to accelerate our homeland’s transformation into a third world S-hole.
Flake & Graham involved, no deal.
No compromise on chain migration
No compromise on banning the lottery
No compromise on banning sanctuary cities and/or States.
Add in a Merit based system and E-Verify and you have a deal.
I don’t want this deal unless it says: Fund the Wall and build it quickly, deport all illegals without exception, and make E-Verify mandatory and functional.
GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) said
> dealing only with undocumented immigrants and border security.
Not enough. But if that’s what they are doing, I hope it’s “1 illegal gets amnesty AFTER each foot of wall is constructed”. Or 5280 amnesties/mile. This would get the Ds on board for removing environmental roadblocks and other delays as well as not playing budget tricks like authorizing but not appropriating (assuming Ds actually want to grant amnesty and not just talk about it for votes.)
Flake, Graham, Kaine??....how bad can it be???
I can only imagine. Especially if it’s the turtles idea.
Democrats and Democrats with Rs after their names.
And Crazy Kaine is involved.
