‘Might as Well Roll It Straight Into the Trash Can’: Tom Cotton Shoots Down Expansive ‘Gang of Six’

FULL TITLE:‘Might as Well Roll It Straight Into the Trash Can’: Tom Cotton Shoots Down Expansive ‘Gang of Six’ DACA Amnesty

The “Gang of Six” amnesty for millions of illegal aliens shielded from deportation by the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program should be rolled “straight into the trash can,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) says.

On Wednesday, a group of six pro-amnesty Senators will roll out their expansive immigration amnesty plan that would not only give a pathway to U.S. citizenship beginning with 3.5 million DACA and DACA-eligible illegal aliens but also give amnesty to the parents of amnesty beneficiaries.

Cotton — whose popular legal immigration-cutting RAISE Act was endorsed by President Trump in 2017 — slammed the “Gang of Six” amnesty, saying it was dead on arrival.

Sure nice to see someone in Washington (except our President) has a pair.
Why should we give the RATS millions of more voters? Why? That’s the ONLY reason they’re pushing this crap, and everyone knows it. Schumer’s patronizing, insulting rhetoric “well, you can prove you’re not a racist by giving us what we want” is beyond disgusting, and I hope it’s pissed Trump off enough to pull the rug out from under these clowns and give them nothing - including Little Lindsay and Flakey Jeff (who laughingly pass themselves off as Republicans).

DACA is DOA. Good.

Immigration has to be stopped.

The house is full.

How about congress get serious on immigration reform by a novel approach: how to remove 30-60 million illegal aliens from the US? Start with end catch-and-release; implement eVerify for all current and future workers, temporary or permanent; end chain migration, end birthright citizenship, and build the wall. DACA? Maybe give those actually in school waivers to finish their schooling, others leave now. Illegal parents, leave now. These help all Americans, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, and age. Give us back our country! And hopefully Durbin’s constituents remember his sell-out proposals when he is next up for reelection.

“Start with end catch-and-release; implement eVerify for all current and future workers, temporary or permanent; end chain migration, end birthright citizenship, and build the wall. DACA?”

Democrats don’t realize that building the wall, ending chain migration and lottery are not up for negotiation. Not going to happen so don’t even bother.

Here is what I would accept. If you were born here and are going to school, we’ll figure it out. If you are the latest generation and were not born in US, your family has to leave, get in line and then come back. If anyone in your family has a felony conviction and were not born in America, they have to leave and cannot come back. If anyone was not born in this country and are collecting services from the government, they have to leave.

Go from there.

How many times do we hear, OK, we are giving this bunch or that bunch amnesty, this is a one time only fix, etc., etc.”, and it happens over and over again. No more amnesty, no more fixes. Come in legally, or stay where you are and fix the place where you live...don’t come here and dismantle America like you have done with your home country (or sh—hole” whatever the case may be). “Give ‘em hell, Harry”is back, and his name is Trump.

Donald Trump is again a genius.

"I will sign anything you send me."

But first it has to pass the hurdle of our best and brightest.

And people were gathering their pitchforks because of his statement.

For shame.

The rat party does more to represent 3rd world shitholes than it does for US citizens, especially taxpayers. How can anyone but the welfare parasites, organized crime, queers, and criminal aliens ever vote for the rat party candidate?

I never understood why the U.S. Senate went through these silly theatrics with a “Gang of Six” in the first place. At the rate things are going, these six dopes will come up with an immigration reform bill that would lose in a Senate vote by a 94-6 margin.

People say “through no FAULT” of their own they are here. I would argue that FAULT is a strange word choice given they already have gotten a big advantage being in this country for x number of years, getting education and whatever else. It seems more accurate to say they are here through no EFFORT of their own or through no MERIT of their own. Let them take those skills back to their country of origin and let their home and their people reap some of the benefits they themselves have enjoyed. They OWE it to their people to give back. Otherwise they are just selfish me-firsters who have little regard for anything but their own happiness...which would be okay if we were not all expected to look at them as moral superiors compared to ourselves. We should not be ashamed to be for ourselves when they are doing exactly the same thing. If they are talented or educated they should go home and help their people and go through proper channels to return legally. They are taking away someone else’s opportunity who is willing to abide by the laws. Bring your relatives here and you help a few, go home and use what you have learned here and make your whole country better.

If anyone was not born in this country and are collecting services from the government, they have to leave.

I would make a few exceptions here. If you were brought here illegally as a minor and were educated here, you can apply for a student visa or apply for a work visa through an employer.

I see no compelling need to force someone who was educated at the expense of U.S. taxpayers back to their home country. As long as we paid to educate them, we might as well get something out of it.

The Democrats will vote for it. Is Cotton that sure that 12 Republicans won’t vote for it too?

Next thing you know someone in DC might actually say that amnesty in particular and mass immigration is bad for you know Americans.

We have just 5 Senators on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
We desperately need more.
AZ does not have to have Amnesty Senators.
McSally will be an Amnesty Senator.

The Gang of Six is led by Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.

Need any more be said?
