Bipartisan deal would create 12-year citizenship pathway
The Washington Compost ^ | Saturday, January 13, 2018 | ALAN FRAM - Ass Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - A bipartisan agreement among a handful of senators to prevent deportation of hundreds of thousands of young immigrants includes a pathway to citizenship that would take up to 12 years.

The Associated Press on Saturday obtained details of the deal that includes $1.6 billion for structures including a wall for border security.

The agreement between three Republican and three Democratic senators would prevent deportation of hundreds of thousands of so-called Dreamers, who were brought to this country as children and are here illegally.

President Donald Trump and some GOP congressional leaders have said the bipartisan deal is insufficient. Its proponents - led by Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. - say they are continuing to round up supporters in hopes of building momentum for their plan.

Political battle lines intensified following Trump’s vulgar description of African nations and derogatory comments about Haiti at a White House meeting last Thursday, and its fate is uncertain.

Does this proposal include all the things which made a bad plan vastly worse? Specifically, allowing the parents of the “dreamers” who committed the original invasion to stay; either extending or making permanent the “temporary” protected status for El Salvadorans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Sudanese; and possibly other amnesty provisions.

It doesn't matter if the $18 billion is in a bill. If the wall was fully funded. The Dems would use their left-wing groups (Sierra Club, La Raza) to tie up the wall construction in the federal courts.

This is all so patently obvious as to what's going on. Washington elites are sick and tired of being held accountable by the citizenry. They want nothing more to rule over an underclass of people like the leaders in Latin America does.

Yup, enforcing the existing laws FULLY would clean up this mess.

Place the Marines on the border until the wall is done.

Remove all incentives to come here.

Have a baby here, it can stay, you cannot!

Jail employers who hire illegals.

etc, etc
