Senator Tom Cotton And Senator David Perdue: RAISE ACT Must Be Included In DACA

Senator Tom Cotton and Senator David Perdue are looking out for middle class Americans by insisting that the Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy Act (RAISE) be added if the Senate takes up the so-called Dream Act.

Senator Cotton says legal status of “Dreamers” will have “negative consequences.”

President Trump has also endorsed the RAISE ACT. Cotton says he appreciates that President Trump pointed Democrats to the RAISE ACT. Cotton said he would definitely oppose a clean extension of DACA if his bill is not attached to a comprehensive immigration reform bill.

Cotton explained that without the RAISE ACT, DACA will have very big negative consequences for working class Americans.

OMFG! How does allowing invaders to stay and allowing more immigrants have a positive impact on American workers? We truly are living the tenets of "1984".

So that people can read it for themselves...

Text: S.354 — 115th Congress (2017-2018)

To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate the Diversity Visa Program, to limit the President’s discretion in setting the number of refugees admitted annually to the United States, to reduce the number of family-sponsored immigrants, to create a new nonimmigrant classification for the parents of adult United States citizens, and for other purposes.

DACA will have very big negative consequences for working class Americans.

Which is why Obammy illegally enacted it in the first place.

Shorthand understanding.. The RAISE legislation returns us to a pre-1964 immigration policy.

...the 800k currently signed up are eligible.

But it isn't 800k...it's 1.2 million now. And it'll be even more in 6 months.

You have fallen for the media hook, fish.

No citizenship ever.

I can agree with that.

Here’s how democrats and ‘nevertrumpers’ work... they will pass ANYTHING we want - - then when it comes time to enforce the law they’ll ignore the parts WE want and TAKE the parts they want.

Laws on the books that aren’t funded aren’t worth the paper they’re written on... let’s NOT fall for this crap again.

The ONLY deal worth having is one where OUR part is enforced FIRST. Then - and ONLY then do we consider the ‘goodies’ for their side.

Note to the Republican cone-heads:

Anything other than what was promised during the campaign will be disastrous.

We’re not the ones that allowed the likes of Bannon and Gorka and Flynn to be railroaded out of the administration. We didn’t fail to lock up Hillary and move to prosecute Huma, Lerner, et. al.

The time for making excuses and playing games is over; do your job or you won’t have one.

The RAISE Act is good for the citizens.

DACA is bad for the citizens and the rule of law and only benefits illegal aliens.

No to DACA

Yes to RAISE

Somehow, the most important thing, the truth, has been sidestepped by liberal politics, again.

Let’s get something up front:

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was an American immigration policy placed into being solely by Obama that allowed individuals who entered the country illegally as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and to be eligible for a work permit.

It protected illegals that sneaked into this country and are aiding in the using of federal funds to the tune of billions the taxpayers paid, to be allowed access to services like education, transportation costs, medical costs, and a green card to fill employment opportunities that should be available to an underemployed American citizenry, while stalling for the opportunity to keep them here to either legalize their status or get them tied into citizenship through adoption or marriage. And that is all it is designed to do. It stops deportation and awards illegals the opportunity to remain here and cause financial problems and be a burden on our society.

It should be illegal and dissolved as Trump should do. It was illegal because without changing the law, it overstepped our in place, and still in place, federal laws on border control concerning illegals. Good riddance.

Why isn’t the correction of the 14th Amendment (the outdated citizenship-by-birth clause, in particular) ever mentioned as the price for DACA-passage? Who’d be against closing the loophole (and killing the motivation) for illegals’ deliberate attempts to anchor their babes-to-be in the U. S.?

95% of congress.

Unless the bill states, “all immigration laws/policies/regulations/rules/etc. post-1964 are hereby abolished”, I highly doubt 40+ pages of lawyer-speak\’strike’ vs. ‘insert’, while leaving the TOMES of legalize behind, will do the same.

Perdue is a big time illegal lover. He is in the club that thinks that having (effectively) slaves working our fields makes us a better nation.
