A group of Senate Republicans and Democrats met privately this week to discuss striking a deal on immigration – mainly on providing amnesty to potentially millions of illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) led a meeting with 12 other Senate Republicans and Democrats to explore the possibility of passing an amnesty to give legal status to 3.5 million enrolled and eligible DACA illegal aliens.
Other Senators in attendance included Chris Coons (D-DE), Susan Collins (R-ME), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ).
In a statement to Axios, Cornyn suggested there is “pretty much consensus” to give amnesty to DACA illegal aliens, even as illegal immigration has skyrocketed at the United States-Mexico border to decade-highs.
“But I think if we did something that is pretty much consensus, like DACA, then that would be confidence-building, and then we’d kind of move on to the next,” Cornyn said.
In an interview with PunchBowl News, sponsored by pro-migration tech lobbying group FWD.us, which was founded by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Durbin also suggested that there is a “growing consensus” among Senate Republicans and Democrats on DACA amnesty.
“I believe there is a growing consensus that DACA, the DREAM Act, some version of that, is ready for passage,” Durbin said. “I have not whipped it and I haven’t gone to the Republican side but many Republicans have come up to me and said, ‘We think it’s time.’ And that was repeated at last night’s meeting.”

These are not the Republicans you are looking for....................
If there was anything that told you that we’ve been sold out,this is it. Mount up. This is the time for all good men to kick some serious ass.
The “Republicans” are all the usual RINO suspects. I don’t know why the media lies so much about those particular traitors to this nation being Republicans...they’re NOT. They are only out for themselves, and to destroy this nation.
Good luck on the mid terms you morons. Hopefully their voters let them know what they think of their treasonous behavior. I’m from Massachusetts so my opinion doesn’t matter
“We think it’s time”
I cant say what I think it’s time for.
Gee, the uniparty is getting together to discuss. How quaint.
The same “Republicans” that certified the stolen election.
They are all traitors.
Nothing should be done on DACA until 6 months after the Wall is completed, then there must be a complete background check and it only applies to those who arrived before the original 2007.

They need a serious reminder that this isn’t exclusively their country to unilaterally decide give away. What a bunch of losers!
A regular who’s who of American traitors.
But they tell me a third party has no chance....
I’ve reached the point, where I am beginning to think the only path is to actually infiltrate the Democratic Party.
These are Assistant Democrats assisting them to a permanent majority.
I like your designation on Assistant Democrats. A.D.
Maybe this will catch on and we call them ADRINOs.
Reagan and Bush already sold us out. Closing the barn door after the horse has not only escaped but ran in the Derby and been put out to stud. Republicans are not ONE bit better, at least the Democrats are honest about wanting immigration, the Republicans want it, but underground.
If we keep voting for Republicans we will always get the same result - betrayal, colonization, and subjugation.
