Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and John Cornyn (R-TX) are asking Senate Democrats to help them pass an amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens enrolled in former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
In a July 6 letter, Tillis and Cornyn ask Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) to consider helping them approve out of committee legislation that would give amnesty to nearly 800,000 DACA-enrolled illegal aliens.
“We agree that the DACA program contravenes the Immigration and Nationality Act and believe it was likely unconstitutional when issued by President Obama,” Tillis and Cornyn write:
Even so, we are concerned that [DACA illegal aliens] … will lose their employment authorization when the program is ultimately struck down. The decision whether to extend permanent legal status to DACA recipients properly falls within the Article I prerogatives of Congress. [Emphasis added]
Therefore, we ask that you schedule a markup of a bill that only addresses the population with the most urgent need: active DACA recipients. In addition, Senators should be free to offer reasonable amendments to this bill through an open amendment process, and receive an up-or down vote on these amendments. We expect that such amendments would likely include proposals related to border security, interior enforcement and employment verification programs. Such a process will allow us to develop a package that can garner the support necessary to pass on the Senate floor. [Emphasis added]
Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to your prompt response. We hope you will view this letter for what it is: an open offer to find a permanent solution for DACA enrolled recipients. [Emphasis added]
For months, Cornyn has sought to craft an amnesty bill with

Oh, goody...
I sent him an email and said next time I will vote for the lesbian.
Remember their names.
I'm sure 800K is just the start. 800k represents a number that is under one million and doesn't draw attention. If enacted - the number of 800K will be replaced by some open ended time period that will see over two million (at least) benefit.
Flimsey Grahamnesty, Micro Rubio, John Hoeven, John Cornyn, Thom Tillis, Lankford, Inhofe, Scott, Scott, Romney, McConnell, Cassidy, Thune, Ernst, Boozman, Murkowsky, Wicker, Hyde-Smith, Shelby, Blunt, Sasse, Toomey, Rounds, Portman, Burr, Lee, Capito, Barrasso, and Collins are all Bush League Republicans willing to meet the Democrats halfway on destroying the country.
If we do not replace them, they will keep assisting the Democrats to a permanent majority.
We’ve known their names (and their agenda) since before they were re-elected.
Flimsey Grahamnesty has been re-elected TWICE after THREE amnesty votes.
How many knives in the back does it take?
Apparently, a whole drawerful.
Tillis the Rino strikes again.
Damn jerk.
DACA is a way for them to pass amnesty.
Cornyn the RINO will be just a few days away from 75 when his term expires in January 2027.
My guess is he will turn full on Liberal and won’t run again.
His legacy will be that of a Trump backstabber and President of all the RINO’s club.
Worthless scum!
So, if my father steals a million and gives it to me, I get to keep it, right? After all, I didn’t take it myself!
You can’t break into another person’s house and set up your children to live there. You have to leave, and so do they.
Tom ‘turn back’- two faced’ tillis again!
If not for Cal Cunningham’s affair coming out just before the election, Tillis would be looking for a job. He’s never done much of anything good in the senate.
Thanks for the good list of non-conservative GOPers.
