A Grand Compromise on Immigration
The New York Times ^ | 24 March 2019 | Peter King and Tom Suozzi

Posted on 03/24/2019 4:58:32 PM PDT by Theoria

A bipartisan deal to bring millions of immigrants out of the shadows, and pay for a secure border.

Americans are frustrated by the inaction of their federal government on comprehensive immigration reform and border security. So are we.

We both represent districts on Long Island, and we have both worked on immigration-related issues for over 25 years — one of us, Representative Suozzi, from the perspective of immigrant’s rights as a mayor, as a county executive and now as a member of Congress; the other, Representative King, from the perspective of border security as a former county comptroller, and now as a congressman and former chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.

We come at this from different points of view and different parties, but with a shared commitment to finding a solution to our country’s border-security issues. Together, we have found common ground to address the problems faced by undocumented immigration and the need for robust border security.

For more than 30 years, our government has failed to solve these problems. This year, the American people endured the longest government shutdown in American history when lawmakers and the president failed to reach a spending deal that centered around border security and immigration along the United States and Mexican border.

Generally runs from January through December.

If Trumps national emergency declaration
clears the hurdles, he’ll have broad powers
to address the multitude of concerns, since
the illegals are the sole cause of the
of the emergency. He could order a “operation
wetback”, and have all illegals removed.

The thing is, these 30 million illegals will NEVER be US Citizens. It is gonna end one of two ways. They go back or the US ceases to be but either way they will never be US Citizens.

Why would any of those jobs make one an advocate for "(illegal) immigrant's 'rights'?"

He has been pretending to represent and act in the interests of his constituents, and lying all this time.
