House Freedom Caucus Gets Debate, Vote, on Goodlatte’s Immigration-and-Amnesty Bill

The House’s immigration-and-amnesty bill is going to get a formal debate and vote in the House, according to the House Freedom Caucus. Caucus chief Rep. Mark Meadows announced the decision to reporters following closed-door negotiations with House Speaker Paul Ryan. The talks with Ryan were held when Ryan had to trade favors to collect enough GOP votes to push through another short-term budget that will last until February 16.

Democrats voted against the GOP’s short-term budget because it does not offer an amnesty to millions of illegals.

The House budget plan next goes to the Senate, where Democrats will be faced with the decision of approving a short-term budget that does not include their demand for a huge amnesty of at least 4 million illegals. Democrats likely will make a big fuss but will also ensure a close vote for the short-term budget, because it sets up another one-month budget battle during which they can again press for their amnesty.

What we've been hoping for.

[samadams2000]

Whatever agreement is reached the government will never honor. Deport them all.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Goodlatte's bill doesn't go far enough.

We need curbs, or a moratorium on legal immigration and an end to refugees.

We have the experience of George HW Bush 4 years, Bill Clinton 8 years, George W Bush 8 years and the Kenyanesian Usurper for 8 years refusing to enforce the laws, no deals.

I would trade almost anything for a wall, an end to the diversity lottery, national e-verify and, especially, an end to chain immigration. Chain immigration is the real killer because those people are pouring into the country legally.

[Lurkinanloomin]

They want to use the supposed 800,000 DACA that they have propagandized to be sympathetic to get amnesty for 3-4 million.
That will make removal of the other 26 million nearly impossible.

[BeauBo]

“The first draft of the bill offers work-permits to 690,000 ‘DACA’ illegals while also implementing a series of offsets and protective measures, including construction of a wall, ending chain-migration and the visa-lottery, and also making the E-Verify system mandatory. The bill is not supported by Ryan and is strongly opposed by business groups, but has been praised by President Donald Trump.”

In other words, it has at least a couple of things going for it.

[RideForever]

It’s missing a legislated end to birthright citizenship.

The TYRANNTS have ignored We The People long enough.

Mass deportations is a way to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN !

[CarolinaReaganFan]

This gives away a lot,, as in 3 years of these illegal DACA renewels without addressing the anchor baby law ,stopping welfare,medicaid etc for illegals or including Trump’s 5 year waiting period for legal immigrants to qualify for taxpayer benefits. With that DACA leverage gone how could we ever get legislation for deportation on contact by any law enforcement agency whether local,state or federal,, halve legal immigration (restore european priorities) and eliminate sanctuary cities?

[11th_VA]

Goodlatte’s law is a good start. End’s chain migration; Legalization if you want to stay in US; provides a path to Citizenship thru current law (Go back to your country, apply, wait 20 years , etc)

[CarolinaReaganFan]

I’m not optimistic that it could pass now in the senate .Seems to be about two dozen RINO’s that wouldn’t support it. Waiting three years to get anything else done is probably an ok tradeoff just doubtful its happening , but if enough RINO’s retire or get primaried in 18/20/22 then ......

[ridesthemiles]

I am firmly convinced that if Trump asked for VOLUNTEERS to help build the wall that he would get a totally overwhelming response. Give them a place to park their RV’s. Set up mess tens to feed them, and bring in trailers for showers, toilets, and laundry & those volunteers would flock to the border to work..... I would bet on it.
