Senators crafting bill to limit deportations under Trump Democratic and Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are working on legislation that would limit deportations if President-elect Donald Trump repeals President Obama’s executive orders on illegal immigration.

Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), both members of the panel, are crafting a bill to shield children living in the country illegally from being deported if they grew up in the United States and have stayed out of trouble.

The bill is likely to have the support of another Republican on the committee, Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.). He was a member of the so-called Gang of Eight that put together the comprehensive immigration reform bill that passed the Senate in 2013.

Trump has vowed to repeal Obama’s executive orders that halted deportations for people who came to the country illegally at a young age, as well as deportations of the parents of citizens and lawful permanent residents.

Lawmakers are worried that rescinding those orders would pull the rug out from hundreds of thousands of young people whose parents immigrated to the country illegally. Many of them may have to drop out of school, lose their jobs or face deportation.

Durbin and Graham say they are especially vulnerable because th

... crafting a bill to shield children living in the country illegally from being deported if they grew up in the United States and have stayed out of trouble.

That is the same old canard they have tried for years. If they pass this, then their next claim will be 'you cannot separate children from their parents who are about to be deported. Thus, since the children have stayed out of trouble and have no criminal record, allowances have to be made to keep the parents from being deported.'

This is the same ole crap Gramnesty and the others [Gang of 8, etc.] spew every time there is a hint of deporting illegals.

[nopardons]

There's NO time to do it and besides which, Mitch can and MUST just table the damned thing!

After all, look at how many Bills "filthy Harry" sat on and kept off the floor; Bills that could have HELPER American citizens and NOT this bottom feeding, ILLEGAL SCUM.

somebody needs to give Graham something to play with

[Repeal 16-17]

The RINOs are acting fast while they have an ally in the Oval Office. The Constitution should be amended to require a two-thirds vote in each House of Congress for bill voted on during the lame-duck period (i.e., post-Congressional election).

[Repeal 16-17]

I thought bills were supposed to originate in the house?

That's only for revenue bills.

Al Qaeda & ISIS are no less of a threat than these traitors.

Might I suggest a bottle of poison, a rope, a loaded gun, AND a VERY sharp straight razor for Christmas? ;^)

[Trumpisourlastchance]

I meant no more of a threat. These traitors are trying to destroy us for their foreign benefactors.

“somebody needs to give Graham something to play with”

Illegal children are his playthings. The reason he doesn’t want them deported.

Separation of powers. These @$$holes seem to conveniently forget about that...unless there is a Democrat in office.
