As House Republicans propose an immigration bill conservatives could gladly support, Senate Republicans seem to be moving to the Left on immigration.
A bipartisan immigration deal to grant amnesty to so-called Dreamers and take steps toward securing the border has reportedly been reached in the U.S. Senate. The Washington Post reports that a group including Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., are presenting the framework of their DACA plan to the White House Thursday.
Weve got this bipartisan group, were at a deal, Sen. Flake told reporters Thursday. So well be talking to the White House about that and I hope we can move forward with it. Its the only game in town. Theres no other bill.

It wasn’t a senate deal. It was a few senators and they couldn’t even get senators Cotton’s and Grassley’s approval
Maybe Trump’s part of the negotiation is telling them what he can accept?
Durbin is a dick.
excellent tweets - He did indeed set them up, and now they are looking like the ones that are shutting down the government and are incapable of getting a bill together. I admit I was worried for a while But at least when the Donald makes us wonder, its only for a day.
Defeatest
It was a Republican Senate that backed Ws amnesty plan and came up with an comprehensive immigration reform bill. Luckily we had heroes in the house at that time and they came out with HR 4437. A brilliant bill that wouldve done everything Trump and the country needed To solve our illegal immigration problems.. But the traitors in the Senate and the White House shot that down. While calling the Minuteman vigilantes.
The senate has had a disconnect from their constituents for a long time. I wouldnt call them representatives, they are self-serving traitors
Seriously, all the never-Trumpers on all those other threads are shirking in their holes right now.
Funny one. The MSM and Dems go all holy and prudish when the President says an off color word, or two, but those phrases are music to our ears.
Your posts 135 & 136 are spot on!
I’ve said it before, and it bears repeating: DACA is Caca!
“We’ve got this bipartisan group, we’re at a deal,” Sen. Flake told reporters Thursday. “So we’ll be talking to the White House about that and I hope we can move forward with it. Its the only game in town. There’s no other bill.”
2. There IS another game in town. It is called, “Hey, you illegals, GTFO!” Flake just doesn’t want to play that game...but most of those who voted for Trump DO.
“...Trump would NEVER sell us out...”
I knew it too - I watched him say I will sign any immigration bill that I get (paraphrased) my immediate thought was that the dems would never agree to anything and this was a safe statement.
I was never worried for a moment that President Trump would sell us out.
No surprise but @TomCottonAR rejected Senate gangs #DACA deal at WH meet: Its not even a fig leaf. Its a pine needle.
Thats a good one.
“f the rats want DACA fine but we let the wall, end of chain migration and a merit base immigration system other wise no deal.”
“Bump! No amnesty!”
Thanks for all that you do, Jim!
“I knew it too - I watched him say I will sign any immigration bill that I get (paraphrased) my immediate thought was that the dems would never agree to anything and this was a safe statement.”
Where Trump is different (thankfully) is that he actually gives a damn about this country (and not Turd World shitholes) first, and doesn’t give a damn if people like him, or how he expresses himself. I like that a LOT - it shows both his essential decency, and also his honesty.
Yeah for months now she seems to have one track (the wall) and no patience (it should have been built already).
Trump faked flake out.
There should be a bill that addresses chain and lottery only.
Separately, there should be another bill that addresses border security, including the wall.
We have the usual GOP basket of despicables pushing the leftwing position. Gang of eight all over again.
