Democratic Senator Dick Durbin is prodding GOP Senators in closed-door negotiations to accept his huge DREAM amnesty in exchange for his promise to let low-ranking border officials continue routine, non-political practices. For example, Durbin’s lopsided proposal says Democrats will allow customs officials to buy commonplace $3,000 computerized license-plate readers for cheaply identifying cars as they pass through the border. But that agreement to buy the cost-saving devices is conditional on GOP Senators supporting the Democrats’ amnesty of 3.25 million ‘dreamer’ illegals — plus millions of their illegal immigrant parents and chain-migration relatives — at the cost of at least $26 billion over the first ten years.
“The Democrats have made a big show of saying they are for border security, but all they are agreeing to are things that would be done in normal circumstances,” a Hill source said.
Durbin’s offer to accept cost-saving practices in exchange for an expensive amnesty suggests that he and the Democrats are contemptuous of the GOP Senators’ understanding of immigration issues and of their ability to negotiate a good deal.

The legislation President-elect Donald Trump will need to build the promised wall along the U.S. southern border with Mexico was passed in 2006 and remains on the books.

On Oct. 26, 2006, President George W. Bush signed the Secure Fence Act of 2006 saying: “This bill will help protect the American people. This bill will make our borders more secure. It is an important step toward immigration reform.” ~ WND
.
The bill was introduced into the House of Representatives (H.R. 6061) on Sep. 13, 2006, by TITAN Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y.
The bill received overwhelming support, passing the House by a vote of 283-138 on Sept. 14, 2006, and passing the Senate by 80-19 on Sept. 29, 2006.
BUILD THE WALL!
DEPORT ILLEGAL DEMOCRAT VOTERS!
AMERICA FIRST.
That’s not how you make a deal.
Never trust a Dem bearing gifts...................
No kidding! WTF is that all about?
Dems must be desperate
No Amnesty!!!
No Birthright citizenship for illegals!!!
No chain immigration!!!
No affirmative action for “hispanics”, the citizens of nations who fought us and hate us should not have preferences over us in our country!!!
NO DEAL
THE RAT PARTY ABORTED ITSELF OUT OF EXISTENCE, WE DON’T NEED TO HELP REVIVE IT
Durbin needs to walk the streets of Chicago from midnight to 6:00am.
The Art of The Deal — The Democrats suck at this.
The political establishment’s position is open borders. Following any deal, amnesty will go through. Border controls and stopping illegal immigration will never be meaningfully enforced. How many more times does the political class think we will be fooled?
Trump could make a strong statement NOW by assigning the military to the border. The message needs to be, illegals are not welcome.
I’m worried about the lack of focus on immigration from conservatives. Here on FR, look at how many replies immigration threads get vs. foreign policy/Middle East threads, which are basically Dubya style neocon cheerleading. Since Trump started waffling on DACA, numerous Freepers have indicated acceptance of DACA with various excuses.
For them, it’s “my way, or the highway”, except without the highway.
Durbin must think the GOP part of the Uniparty are dumb as goldfish or he is mocking them...
“Durbin needs to walk the streets of Chicago from midnight to 6:00am.”
With a license plate reader strapped to his miserable a$$!
DC, USAs whorehouse.
If the gop-e doesn’t understand the dims are importing voters then they’re dumber than dirt. Apologies to dirt.
Well...that's how the gop-e makes a deal! Not Trump....at least I hope not.
DC, USA’s septic field.
The President ran on a “Law and Order” campaign, not a “unlawful Executive Order” campaign.
No DACA, no amnesty, NO WAY!
Hey, how about we let those illegal aliens that arrived 10+ years ago at less than 10 years old stay so long as their illegal family members go home and no chain migration. All others go home. And, give us eVerify and skip the license plate readers as the slow lines are no big deal since we don’t need or want more Mexicans coming into the US anyway.
