"While we firmly believe that Congress must work to address other issues without our broken immigration system, it is imperative that Republicans and Democrats come together to solve this problem now and not wait until next year," the 34 lawmakers wrote in a letter to Ryan. "Reaching across the aisle to protect DACA recipients before the holidays is the right thing to do."
Republican Main Street Caucus Chairman Rodney Davis of Illinois and other caucus members joined the group to call for Ryan to move quickly to pass a bill. But that still leaves out more than 200 other House Republicans who did not join the effort.
I think Ryan has way too many Xmas parties to go to right now
Yep. I have written and called my congress critter and senators multiple times and told them so.
When does it expire?
I can’t believe these tone deaf idiots areb trying to suck up to illegal aliens so soon after the verdict in the Steinle murder.
Main Street Caucus = open-borders globalists promoting actions that move the American nation closer to destruction and that lead to impoverishment and despair of many American citizens.
Hell NO to these open-borders activists.
Republican Main Street AKA RINOs 'R Us.
"Reaching across the aisle...
Is always, always a stupid thing to do.
I don’t think Ryan is the problem for these 34 RINOs, I think Trump is.
Trump laid out a bunch of really good things he wants in the DACA legalization bill, and I’m sure he’s expecting to get most or all of them before he signs anything.
The RINOs, I suspect, would vote for legalization in exchange for a promise from the Democrats to have a ‘fair debate’ on all of Trump’s points...some time in the future...and always knowing that the Senate will simply filibuster anything worthwhile they come up with.
I know a lot of people here would like to simply see the DACA bunch rounded up and sent home (especially since the feds have all the info they need to find them) - unfortunately Trump is not on board for that. If no ‘compromise’ is reached, the Dems will likely walk away and let DACA expire, knowing that most of them will simply go back to the illegal status they had before (and not be a priority for deportation), and then wait until some ‘mainstream’ Republican (or Democrat) gets elected president.
Full fledged subsidiary of the Chamber of Crony Capitalism.
Now we know how many RINOS there are to get rid of next election...............
Yeah... go ahead and move to protect the interests of a bunch of Mexican citizens before you repeal Obamacare, cut taxes, build the wall etc.
Our good old GOP in action again.
No, these illegal bastards do not deserve anything until we get what we asked for. Repeal Obamacare totally. Build that wall and these asswipes better fund it all.
Trump should tell them there will be no action on DACA because Americans come first!
