A group of Senate Republicans and Democrats met privately this week to discuss striking a deal on immigration – mainly on providing amnesty to potentially millions of illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) led a meeting with 12 other Senate Republicans and Democrats to explore the possibility of passing an amnesty to give legal status to 3.5 million enrolled and eligible DACA illegal aliens.
Other Senators in attendance included Chris Coons (D-DE), Susan Collins (R-ME), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ).
In a statement to Axios, Cornyn suggested there is “pretty much consensus” to give amnesty to DACA illegal aliens, even as illegal immigration has skyrocketed at the United States-Mexico border to decade-highs.
“But I think if we did something that is pretty much consensus, like DACA, then that would be confidence-building, and then we’d kind of move on to the next,” Cornyn said.
In an interview with PunchBowl News, sponsored by pro-migration tech lobbying group FWD.us, which was founded by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Durbin also suggested that there is a “growing consensus” among Senate Republicans and Democrats on DACA amnesty.
“I believe there is a growing consensus that DACA, the DREAM Act, some version of that, is ready for passage,”
Durbin said Senate Democrats are looking to gather Republican support for a DACA amnesty by throwing in border security provisions, though he said a border wall would not be part of any such plan.

Useless GOPthe democrats get what they want we get nothing..,.
Trusting Democrats to make a deal they will honor?
What? Fool me 24 or 25 times shame on you but fool me 26 times ... still shame on you?
So many things that need attention and they pick this
Bush League Republicans have been working for a permanent Democrat majority since the last amnesty.
Flimsey Grahamnesty has made a career out of it.
Results of electing Assistant Democrats.
A deal with democrats? We’re still waiting for them to get busy on the border security component of the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli Act.
Once they are citizens, EACH one of these DACA “kids” will be able to sponsor their parents and grandparents as new citizens and be able to “reunite” WITH them, in THE us, at taxpayer expense. THAT is the entire point of sending unaccompanied minors.
Amnesty for illegals is a direct attack on democracy as it directly replaces the citizens of the country with foreign invaders. Anyone voting for this should be tried for treason and treated accordingly
Two groups that hate Americans, Democrats and Republicans.
Which is why I suggest my modest proposal of just voting for Rats, it gets rid of one of the two of our enemies.
Say, do you think the RNC will use this in their next fundraising outreach?
Steal an election, steal a nation
Why are these SOBs cooperating at all?
And while we’re at it...
Lujan
Cortez
Padilla
Menendez
I dont recall seeing those names anywhere on the Patriot lists of the Revolution. Quite the opposite. Why do they now get to call themselves “the Americans”?
The Deplorables want a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. Since that amnesty was granted already, a second amnesty is off the table. What remains is the enforcement the Democrats have disallowed since then.
The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.
Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.
Oh, stupid me. There are none.
My useless lousy Senator. He is openly admitting that he is not stopping with DACA. He will keep doing this piecemeal. I will vote Democrat before color his oval again.
Fool me 24 or 25 times shame on you but fool me 26 times ... still shame on you?

Proof of stupidity ...
As was done every other time meetings like this were held, gonna be a lotta checks written.
The GOP’s lack of resilience and backbone coincides to their surplus of nitwits.
