GOP bill will offer Dreamers citizenship after ‘extreme vetting’
The Ledger-Enquirer ^ | September 24, 2017 | Franco Ordoñez and Brian Murphy

Sen. Thom Tillis will introduce his “conservative Dream Act” on Monday that would provide a pathway to citizenship for as many as 2.5 million young undocumented immigrants, but one that is long and involves “extreme vetting.”

The North Carolina Republican and cosponsor James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, will pitch the plan as “merit-based” relief that must be earned — and, critically, not “amnesty,” according to Republican talking points obtained by McClatchy. But unlike other merit-based immigration proposals that limit new immigrants from entering the country based on their job skills, this proposal would limit who can remain in the country based on their years of American education, work experience or military service.

“Choosing between either mass deportation of Dreamers or blanket amnesty is a false choice,” the lawmakers argue, according to the talking points. “There is a third option: an organized process by which talented and hard-working young Americans can earn legal status.”(continued)

Interesting how we went from 800,000 to 2.5 MILLION, at the snap of a finger...I guess.

Extreme vetting will, in a very short time, morph into no vetting whatsoever. I know how the crooks work.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....it’s a duck...this is amnesty!

Isn’t it amazing how far to the left the country has lurched over the past decade? I remember how “We the People” fought back the various amnesty attempts during Bush years. Now the GOP is introducing this :(

Totally unforgivable!

How did all the endorsement promises turn out, that were in the 1986 amnesty?
