Why doesn't DJT tell this clown to shut up. Half of the problems in the Trump White House have originated with Javanka and their NYC leftist tilt which l,eads them to recommend a lot of beltway types and 'try to bridge the gap' with the rats with their stupid policy recommendations. this is the limit, some 600 page amnesty plan that wonderkind Jared cooked up as a sort of honors research project. These two are just bad news, but its shows how isolated DJT is because he either gets back stabbed by establishment types or just gets the silence as the jackals wait to feast.

Try the Navy Bean Soup.

[Zathras]

The Stupid Party decides to take advice from Kushner?
How about instead they listen to their Base instead of someone who votes Democrat 50% of the time.

[wastedyears]

I do not like that guy.

[deadrock]

No doubt the lawyers’ and lobbyists’ circumlocutory style made it 599 pages to long.

You would think Congress would be embarrassed that Kushner is writing legislation for them— enough to come up with something themselves. But they don’t seem to want to do their job.

“it’s important that Republicans be for something and not against something, and the president has worked hard to design this plan and we want to make sure we can all be unified as a party,”

He’s not wrong.

[Dagnabitt]

Asked if he supports the bill, Braun said: “I don’t know the details. I’m definitely supportive of the idea of increasing legal immigration.”

Trump was elected to do the opposite of this.

[Rockingham]

We didn’t elect a bridge-the-gap, let’s-get-along type as President. This idiot plan is no doubt loaded with all sorts of compromises and sell outs.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

I like Jared. He has surprised me with his competence especially as it pertains to Middle East matters.

I just don’t see why it has to be 600 pages maybe 10? Page 1 should be a sketch of a wall.

[nathanbedford]

Kushner described his proposals to beef up border security and reform legal immigration as “smart ideas” and predicted if Republicans can unite themselves they will at a minimum be able to win the policy argument ahead of the 2020 election, if not get a bill passed before 2021.

How long, Oh how long will the Republican party sell out the middle class for Wall Street/K St. while secure in the knowledge that the base has nowhere else to go?

40% to 60% of illegal immigrants come by way of airports not by way of the southern border. Without E-Verify there is no effective immigration control. With E-Verify the Republican establishment loses Wall Street/K St.

They are choosing the swamp over the middle class, eventually they will pay at the ballot box.

Nepotism is not a good model for governance.

[BobL]

No serious American will take orders from a guy with the name of Jarad.

[Moonman62]

He told lawmakers “it’s important that Republicans be for something and not against something, and the president has worked hard to design this plan and we want to make sure we can all be unified as a party,” according to the source in the meeting.

...

Why does the title say it’s Kushner’s plan? The article says it’s Trump’s plan.

[NTHockey]

600 pages of “immigration reform” and it doesn’t address all the issues? BOHICA

All that is needed is one sentence: “Illegal immigrants will be shot on sight.”

[KobraKai]

I actually wouldn’t mind if the GOP rebelled and stood up for itself, and told Trump no more cooperation on anything until Javanka is out.

[HighSierra5]

Jared is the person who Trump referenced when he said John Bolton wasn’t getting along with the “team”. I know that I’m practically alone in the Free Republic but I would rather have Bolton in the Cabinet than that pencil necked geek of a son in law. He’s the one that probably cooked up that hair brained idea of having those filthy animal Tolleybon stink up Camp David.

[Jim Noble]

His bill does not address more controversial topics such as what to do about immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally at a young age, known as "Dreamers,"

All Trump has to do is to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

The People, through their representatives, have already passed, and Presidents have signed, laws which are very specific about "what to do with the Dreamers".

Enforce the People's laws, Mr. President.

“...it would be smart for the party to unify behind a plan to counter Democratic attacks that Republicans don’t have any interest in fixing the nation’s broken immigration system.”

Even the democrats know better than to claim that.

He has got to be kidding.

Not knowing what the plan is, that asinine statement makes me highly suspicious.

[DoodleDawg]

If it does nothing about E-Verify or serious sanctions on employers who hire illegal aliens then it’s basically worthless. Walls will not halt illegal immigration. The only way to really end it is to cut off the reason why they come - jobs. Make it impossible to work here and you remove the reason for coming. And unless employers start going to jail for not verifying the status of their employees then there won’t be any incentive to stop hiring them.

[MrEdd]

Yes, as a matter of fact, the filthy little turd is wrong.
