Cornyn joins Texas business push for legislation to give ‘Dreamers’ permanent legal status

A new Texas business coalition is urging Congress to pass legislation that would provide permanent legal status to “Dreamers” — those unauthorized immigrants, including more than 100,000 in Texas alone, who were brought to the U.S. as children.

The Texas Opportunity Coalition launched Tuesday with support from Texas Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican whose vote would be key for any such measure to succeed in the Senate.

Cornyn said that “after years of being yanked around from court ruling to court ruling” over DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program launched by former President Barack Obama, “these young men and women deserve certainty to be able to plan their future.”

“The only way to do that is through legislation,” Cornyn said in a taped statement played at a virtual news conference.

Trump was ready to do the same, but the Dems wouldn’t let him have the ‘victory’ (thankfully). Short of a hard-core conservative president (very hard-core), we were never going to win this fight.

SOB!

Yep, that's ol' John, as predictable as a sundial. For five years and six months after his reelection, he does stuff like this. Then for six months before voters go to the polls once again (and his political hide is once again on the line), he rolls out the patriotic billboards, American flags and red-white-and-blue bunting. He says the things we want him to say, but with which he demonstrably disagrees. Works like a charm.

My grandfather would have called Cornyn a "flim-flam man". With a few choice salty adjectives thrown in.

Only a true fool would be surprised by this in the slightest degree. Cornyn is a snake and has always been. I was suckered into voting for him once. Have taken every opportunity I have had since then to vote against him since then.

“We have one of those in Oklahoma. Name is lankford. You folks want him back?”

Sure,if you mail him back in at least 5 separate containers.

“Any ideas about finding someone to primary his globalist butt?”

Good question.

Not the one-eyed douche (Crenshaw). He’s a fake.

Talks big, was apparently a legit hero, but something has happened to him.

I kind of like the Congressman from Abilene. Can’t remember his name.
