FULL TITLE:‘Might as Well Roll It Straight Into the Trash Can’: Tom Cotton Shoots Down Expansive ‘Gang of Six’ DACA Amnesty

The “Gang of Six” amnesty for millions of illegal aliens shielded from deportation by the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program should be rolled “straight into the trash can,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) says.

On Wednesday, a group of six pro-amnesty Senators will roll out their expansive immigration amnesty plan that would not only give a pathway to U.S. citizenship beginning with 3.5 million DACA and DACA-eligible illegal aliens but also give amnesty to the parents of amnesty beneficiaries.

Cotton — whose popular legal immigration-cutting RAISE Act was endorsed by President Trump in 2017 — slammed the “Gang of Six” amnesty, saying it was dead on arrival.

In their own country.

If you were born here and are going to school, we’ll figure it out.

They would be considered citizens. Nothing to figure out.
If their parents are illegal aliens, they go back to their parent’s country with them. They can come back when they are adults if they wish.
Anyone else that is here illegally has to go home.

Talk is still cheap Senator Cotton. We’ll see where you are when it is time to put up or shut up on the 19th. I predict a folderama.

Most of the US Senate is on the side of the illegal aliens and their employers.
Only 5 Senators are marginally on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
Cotton, Grassley, Paul, Perdue and Cruz.
That’s it.

The only Airborne Ranger in the Senate, to my knowledge. What an improvement over David Prior.

Some of those Demonrats selling out our country wear R jerseys to fool people.
Some of them are named, McCain, Graham, Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, Alexander, Hatch and Rubio.

Bottom line: The Democrat (ick!) Party doesn’t want the influx of illegal aliens to end. They want open borders, sanctuary cities, anchor babies, chain migration, and a strong welfare/social-services/jobs magnet.

To all the anti-Trump Freepers that were screaming that Trump had sold us out when he said he would be willing to do a deal on DACA: IT WAS A TRAP!

Trump knew the Dems would NEVER vote for anything except 100% amnesty combined with 100% open borders with zero border security. And when the Dems knee-jerked their way to their intransigent position as Trump knew they would, Trump was just waiting to say: “Well folks, I tried, I really tried, but the Dems refused to compromise and it’s THEIR fault DACA is dead.”

And people were gathering their pitchforks because of his statement.

We were and are right to do so. ALL of our elected public servants in Washington need to know that we have our torches and pitchforks in hand, and we're in no mood for them to be screwing around.

For shame.

Yes, our public servants in Washington have been behaving shamefully for decades.

Only DACA as a stand alone issue is dead. It will be the price of the Wall and the rest of the Trump agenda.

It is a different issue in Illegalism.

These bipartisan groups always get a nickname reminiscent of a group of communist radicals that were so obnoxious the Chinese government finally had to throw them in jail.

"The rat party does more to represent 3rd world shitholes than it does for US citizens, especially taxpayers. How can anyone but the welfare parasites, organized crime, queers, and criminal aliens ever vote for the rat party candidate?

The DemoRats need a perpetual underclass to vote for them hence their love of illegal aliens waiting for the next clemency to come out of DC. Never believe the DemoRats assurances that this time will be the last time, because they lie. Dirtbag Ted Kennedy back in 1965 turned the DemoRat Party which used to appeal to working class Americans into the party of illegals and fringe folk. Leaky borders and refugee programs are the only way they can replenish their stock of underclass so they will forever be planning their next big score, like a drug addict hooked on crack.

At some point there is simply no negotiating with the Left. Dick Durbin is working full time on illegal aliens while huge groups of black voters in Chicago go without a job. But they will continue to ignore those American minorities (except at election time) to recruit new future DemoRat voters from foreign lands.

“Gang of Six”

I didn't bother to check the details but was wondering if this is the slimmed down "Gang of Eight" from a few years ago.

The GOP darn well better stand firm on this, and Trump better get on TeeVee and let the American sheeple know that he would not sign any CR that included amnesty for the gazillions of DACA folk and their extended families.
