Lindsay Graham, of course, has introduced The Dream Act with a pathway to citizenship with Democrat Dick Durbin.

This liberal site says they will be updating and adding Republicans as they come out with statements.

These are the Never Trump Republicans, but it's good to know. These people have no preconditions and are willing to do amnesty with no immigration reform. If no immigration reform is done, we will have this situation again - and will anyway because there are those here right now that don't qualify for DACA brought by their parents. Without reform, the can will be kicked down the road and there will be another amnesty. People will keep coming over illegally, which is I presume what they want.

As someone else wrote on FR earlier today, these are undocumented Democrats. Time to primary each one of them.

Why doesn't Think Progress try to improve conditions in Mexico and further south?

If Houston's flooding was a problem of "no zoning" and "unrestricted expansion" then what is a city or nation with unrestricted borders/immigration? More flooding.

U. S. Citizens, sorry for those of you who would like to have a job. We’re putting your dreams on hold. There are more important dreamers around these days.

Still refer to them as “nightmares” and not just dreamers.

While Congress debates issues regarding comprehensive immigration reform, the Department of Homeland Security has implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program, effective August 15, 2012, in hopes of providing some form of temporary relief to the DREAMers in the U.S. You can read more about the DACA Program here.

The DACA Program mirrors many of the requirements first proposed by Senators in the DREAM Act of 2001. As legislation around this issue evolves, LawLogix will continue to provide more information to our readers.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL)

He's in the district right next to the one I live in. His office is actually closer to where I live than my own Representatives is.

Time to pay Mr. Kinzinger (soon to be the FORMER Congressman) a visit with a few friends named Moose and Rocco.

The only question is how many senators it takes to override a presidential veto. The answer is 67.

I suspect 2/3 in the house would be even harder to get.

We, as conservatives, need to support every challenger to a RINO even if not in our state. A few of those who need to go in 2018 (Dec for Strange):

Strange
Flake
Heller
Corker
Hatch

Why some leftwingers just teetering on being employed (or now unemployed) cannot understand that simple reality is beyond me.
They are competing with a lawbreaking Third Worlder willing to reside with ten people in a one-room apartment even with "hot cot" arrangements.

“Why doesn’t Think Progress try to improve conditions in Mexico and further south?”

This has always been the elephant in the room. We should be exporting the best elements of capitalism, especially in our own hemisphere, but instead we prop up and rub elbows with scoundrels, cheats, and socialists, while their people suffer. These are the fruits of the left.

“Why doesn’t Think Progress try to improve conditions in Mexico and further south?”

My guess is that some of the billions of dollars drug cartels rake in want to see Mexico and points south in a static, corrupted state so that it’s easier to do business down there.

If Mexico starts to improve and becomes more like Canada, that means that laws would have to be enforced, corrupt politicians would have to be outed, and other terrible things that would raise the cost of corrupting their government to United States prices :-) .

Since all republicans in the house are up for re-election,it will be impossible to get a majority in the house and DACA will die......UNLESS,they give Trump all his funding for the wall or huge tax cuts..He will get a huge concession out of this...

And not one Liberal will vote for any of them, regardless.
