Rep. Steve Scalise, the minority whip in the House, is urging his fellow Republicans to vote against the Dream Act that protects young illegal immigrants from deportation because it would worsen the situation at the US border where unaccompanied children are overwhelming federal facilities.
The Louisiana Republican sent a memo to House GOP members Wednesday that blasted President Biden’s “open borders and lax enforcement” and argued that Republicans should not be providing “amnesty” to undocumented immigrants, Fox News reported.
“The bill would only worsen the flow of illegal immigrates to the U.S.,” Scalise wrote to his colleagues.
Rep. Steny Hoyer, the majority leader in the House, said the chamber will vote on two immigration bills on Thursday, one to provide a pathway to citizenship for the so-call “Dreamers” and to provide permanent residency for undocumented farmworkers.
Hoyer expressed hope that Republicans would cross the aisle to vote with Democrats on the Dreamers legislation.
“Seven Republicans supported this in the last Congress. I hope more will do so in this Congress,” he said, noting the seven Republicans who voted for the American Dream and Promise Act in 2019.

They’re Democrat interns.
To give cover for democrats who represent districts that are not pro-amnesty. These democrats are then free to vote against the bill to protect their seats during the next election.

Rep. Steve Scalise may as well use his finger to plug a leaky dike in new orleans for all the good his oration to his fellow republicans is going to do.
Frank would likely agree.

He’s only worried about the appearances.
Lindsey Graham is working with Rick Scott.
Scalise knows it’s coming and is only worried about being exposed.

We real America loving people would but those in office are dumber than you-know-what!
No one who enters the country illegally should ever be granted citizenship. Maybe a work permit, perhaps a green card, but never citizenship.
Importing voters is functionally the same as stuffing ballot boxes. Anyone who supports amnesty is an enemy of democracy and should be removed from office by hook or by crook
Bush League Republicans love to make noise and sound like they oppose what they have been working towards for 30 years, the fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico.

“Why would any of them vote for it?”
Campaign contributions from the Chamber Of Commerce (COC). COC is biggest driver from the center/right. They suck.
