The Republican establishment is weighing a plan with Democrats whereby millions of illegal aliens who are eligible and enrolled in the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are given amnesty in exchange for a small amount of border security funding, Reuters reports.
Trump’s earlier compromise plan — that both the Republican establishment and Democrats rejected — would have only allowed the nearly 800,000 DACA-enrolled illegal aliens to remain in exchange for a major reduction in legal immigration levels to boost Americans’ wages.
For example, Trump’s original plan would have ended the process known as “chain migration,” whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. Additionally, the plan would have ended the Diversity Visa Lottery, whereby more than 50,000 random foreign nationals are imported to the U.S. and authorized the full funding for a border wall on the southern border.
Most significantly, the amnesty-for-border security plan is about the exact legislation that the billionaire Koch brothers have recently lobbied for on Capitol Hill.
Currently, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million legal and illegal immigrants every year, with more than 70 percent coming to the country through chain migration. In the next 20 years, the current U.S. legal immigration system is on track to import roughly 15 million new foreign-born voters. Between seven and eight million of those foreign-born voters will arrive in the U.S. through chain migration.

Fox News hyping this now. Does not include funding for the border wall. This bill should be DOA.
GOP actively trying to lose the midterms.
They need to end all immigration NOW. No DACA, no welfare/healthcare for illegals, no birth in USA makes a citizen for any illegal. Build the wall and throw all illegals out. No more anyone comes here regardless of any relationship.
these bastards just won’t stop....
The Kochs are not Republican.
Ryan is trying to lose the house in order to destroy Trump .
These evil Koch Brothets are a menance .
They hate Trump too .
Ryan should be kicked out before he does any more damage .
Call your Reps today and the WH .
Stop Vile Ryan .
A political party committing suicide.
I strongly doubt that there is any significant legislation getting done in the remainder of this election year, despite the hope of the despots.
They lay claim to being Libertarian, not Republican.
“The Kochs are not Republican.”
Yes they are.
As were the authors of the last wave of amnesty.
Belief that “either” party is trying to protect our borders is dangerously sentimental.
Libertarians are the problem with the big tent concept. Think I am wrong? Watch Kennedy and Laura Ingram, and Neil Cavuto and last but not least the guy who fooled everyone The Tucker and the morning crew on Fox. Thats why I automatically switch to Fox Business when the Libertarians come on Fox and watch the UKs biggest gift to the USA Mr Varney from Varney and Company....he at least is a real Trump supporter as is also my dear friend late on Fox Business News Mr Lou Dobbs who I enjoy he has really gotten up the noses of the Libertarians and the Koch Lovers.....
Grahamnesty shamnesty , boring ...
The GOP thinks Trump is just temporary.
Trump is just temporary, but the voters that elected him aren’t.
Monsieur Ryan will be walking away with a cool $12 million.
Came to DC with almost nothing and is walking away as a multi-millionaire. What does that tell us?
Our President doesn’t need Paulie’s skimpy funding carrot for the wall, he’s been playing full court press with NAFTA to Mexihole who is now begrudgingly accepting they will pay for the wall.
But Ryan is more than just a corrupt skumbucket. He’s also an Awan abettor. More on this later.
I meant that.
“Losing the House” doesn’t mean anything when both sides are pulling in the same direction.
