Next week, the House of Representatives will consider two immigration bills, a bill sponsored by Rep. Goodlatte, R-Va., that conservatives are supporting and a more moderate bill with a special pathway to U.S. citizenship for DACA recipients. In an interview on Fox & Friends Friday morning, President Donald Trump announced that he will not sign a moderate immigration bill.
@realDonaldTrump: "I need a bill that gives this country tremendous boarder security... we have to have the wall, if we don't have the wall there is no bill"
Conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus have pressured House leadership for months to bring up a vote on the immigration bill sponsored by Rep. Bob Goodlatte. The bill grants amnesty to roughly 700,000 illegal immigrant recipients of President Obamas illegal DACA executive order in the form of a renewable 3-year non-immigrant visa with no path to a green card.
Pro-amnesty Republicans find this unacceptable and have threatened to force a House vote on a more liberal measure that would not require businesses to use an E-Verify system, leaves chain migration in place, and would expand amnesty beyond DACA recipients to millions of illegal immigrants. To prevent these moderates from forcing a vote and embarrassing House Republicans by passing a liberal immigration bill without voting on a conservative one, Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., announced this week that both bills would come up for a vote next week.

Is Ryan a Democrat? He passed being a RINO A long time ago.

Good idea.
But most of them have no shame.
Thats the takeaway. Most of the current crop in Washington cant be trusted to write new immigration law because they dont respect sound immigration law already on the books.
Good Cop-Bad Cop meet Bait and switch. DonAmnesty either way.
Someone representing the White House was just asked if thePresident supported both House bills and they said yes, he supports both bills.
“If the author reads the comments here, it wasn’t a EO. It was policy. Trump nor Obama ever issued a eo for DACA.”
Exactly. Obama even stated that he, as president, did not have the authority to do so. But then he acted in the opposite manner.
In October 2010, Obama said, “I am not king. I can’t do these things just by myself.”
In March 2011, he said “the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case.”
In May 2011, he said he couldn’t “just bypass Congress and change the [immigration] law myself.” And, “That’s not how a democracy works.”
“Conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus have pressured House leadership for months to bring up a vote on the immigration bill sponsored by Rep. Bob Goodlatte. The bill grants amnesty to roughly 700,000 illegal immigrant recipients of President Obama’s illegal DACA executive order in the form of a renewable 3-year non-immigrant visa with no path to a green card.”
A reasonable and humane solution to the problem caused by their parents.
But we know that neither the Democrats nor the RINOs want a real solution. They don’t see the flood of illegal immigrants as a problem to be solved. They see it as a benefit to be encouraged.
