Illegal Immigrant Dreamers Get Help From Senators For Full Legal Status
By Stephen Dinan - December 1, 2016.
After the White House ruled out a pardon for illegal immigrant Dreamers, a bipartisan group of senators vowed Thursday to write a bill next year granting them full legal status though they will need to persuade a President Trump to back their effort.
Two veterans of the last major immigration fight, Sen. Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, said trying to deport some 740,000 illegal immigrant Dreamers would be inhumane.
They said they will try to have a bill written next week and ready to go in the new year, and perhaps pass it before the next Congress is sworn in and before Mr. Trumps Jan. 20 inauguration. Their goal, they said, is to halt deportations in the short term, giving lawmakers breathing room to take another stab at a broad legalization bill.
Ive talked to a number of my colleagues on the floor, on both sides of the aisle about this, and there are strong emotions in favor of helping these young people, said Mr. Durbin, who has been working on the issue for 15 years.

Only citizens and green card holders can join the military, illegal aliens cannot.
They have to go home to apply for a green card, no one who is in the country illegally can apply.
Good to know. Thanks.
I support their parents going to the back of the immigration line. If granted access to this country, their children will also be legal.
I’m really getting tired of this little pissant Graham. SC why don’t you keep this idiot in your state and let him screw you up instead of forcing him on the rest of us.
They have to go home to apply like everybody else who is a legal immigrant did.
There is no line that forms inside the country for illegal aliens.
Under existing law, no one in the country illegally may work here.
There is a $7500 fine for doing so, and there is also a $7500 per employee fine for any employer failing to hire with proper I-9 documentation, with an additional $7500 per employee fine if it is determined that the hiring of illegals is part of a pattern of practice.
All Sessions has to do is enforce existing law. Once employers start paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, the other illegals will be deporting themselves.
And the children will be citizens who will vote for the Rats.
President Trumps first veto!

I thought senators took an oath to uphold our laws and constitution, this asshat needs to be impeached or recalled whichever NC DOES for a senator!! He is NOT upholding the laws of this nation!!!
Thanks to the Peoples' Republic of Illinois, Americans have to put up with 'Little Dick' Durbin, but South Carolinians don't have to put up with 'Little Dick' Graham!
Let the recall petitions roll!
South Carolina citizens NEED TO RECALL HIM!! ASAP!!!!
Get the illegals--dreamers or other--out of the U.S. If they are so bent on living the American dream, let them get in the back of the line of people applying to get in LEGALLY.
Suggest a trade Joe Manchin for Lindsey Graham
Hell, I'd give them Lindsay for Leahy's spit cup.
The Senators swear an oath to uphold the laws of our nation.
Then some of them set about to destroy them.
In an instance like this, it should cause them to lose their elected office.
I’m tired of backstabbers and traitors.
What part of illegal do they not understand. And Trump won on basis of deporting illegals. All of them!!!
I don’t believe there is any constitutional provision to recall a sitting U.S. senator (unfortunately).
Why don’t we send Durbin and Gramnesty to Mexico since they appear all-to-eager to represent that constituency. In fact, most Democrat and GOPE Senators should just move south of the border—it’s perfect for their brand of corruption.
It’s a win-win: they can have unlimited power, and the US can regain her sovereignty.
