This liberal site says they will be updating and adding Republicans as they come out with statements.
These are the Never Trump Republicans, but it's good to know. These people have no preconditions and are willing to do amnesty with no immigration reform. If no immigration reform is done, we will have this situation again - and will anyway because there are those here right now that don't qualify for DACA brought by their parents. Without reform, the can will be kicked down the road and there will be another amnesty. People will keep coming over illegally, which is I presume what they want.
How about protecting Americans ???
As someone else wrote on FR earlier today, these are undocumented Democrats. Time to primary each one of them.
If Houston's flooding was a problem of "no zoning" and "unrestricted expansion" then what is a city or nation with unrestricted borders/immigration? More flooding.
U. S. Citizens, sorry for those of you who would like to have a job. We’re putting your dreams on hold. There are more important dreamers around these days.
Still refer to them as “nightmares” and not just dreamers.

While Congress debates issues regarding comprehensive immigration reform, the Department of Homeland Security has implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program, effective August 15, 2012, in hopes of providing some form of temporary relief to the DREAMers in the U.S. You can read more about the DACA Program here.
The DACA Program mirrors many of the requirements first proposed by Senators in the DREAM Act of 2001. As legislation around this issue evolves, LawLogix will continue to provide more information to our readers.

How did NY not make that list?
Deport them all.
That’s nine we MUST MUST MUST replace!!! Asap!!
He's in the district right next to the one I live in. His office is actually closer to where I live than my own Representatives is.
Time to pay Mr. Kinzinger (soon to be the FORMER Congressman) a visit with a few friends named Moose and Rocco.
The only question is how many senators it takes to override a presidential veto. The answer is 67.
I suspect 2/3 in the house would be even harder to get.
And not one Liberal will vote for any of them, regardless.
Morons
You read about the Daily News being sold for $1, in large part, if not mostly, because they didn’t bother giving a crap about their customer base.
...so now you have this. I think a few of them in the House may be from heavily Hispanic districts where they do want DACA to stay - but for the rest, especially someone like Flake, who’s totally on the ropes even now - is it really worth ending his career trying to protect a bunch of MS13 types?
I’m expecting Miss Lindsay to announce that she too has developed Glioblastoma from having her head up McCain’s a$$ all these years.
Just sent this to our Congressman:
We are in FULL SUPPORT of President Trump’s actions to uphold the law, and allow the DACA to expire. This is why we voted for Mr. Trump AND FOR YOU. We are sick of paying taxes to support those who are not in this country legally, but who require so much of our resources to be here. Please know that we want him to BUILD THE WALL, keep deporting those who are here illegally, and STOP any and all incentives, which might encourage those from other countries to come here without going through proper procedures and waits.
Thank you.
Those 9 are the usual suspects, none is surprise to me.
If Mexico will begin a DACA program for foreigners illegally in Mexico, then these 9 can say they have a valid case. However Mexico is 100 times more strict with illegals than USA. Any one remember what happened to that young military guy who was suffering PTSD and took a wrong turn and ended up in Mexico?
The deal I proposed about a year ago:
1. The people covered would be Dreamers, Anchor Baby parents, and five-year+ “full” taxpayers, with exceptions (felons, those ordered deported, those who arrived after 2008, etc.).
2. To retain the right to stay, an immigrant would have to:
A. apply within 12 months and pay a $500 application processing fee to the USCIS
B. agree in writing to make donations (to be non-dischargable by federal bankruptcy law) of 10% of their pre-tax income
(minimum $300/quarter) to the Social Security Trust Fund for 27 years, starting in 2020, and then pay by estimated tax due dates via the IRS
C. obtain high-quality [better than bronze, deductible <$2,000 or that of the person’s US employer plan] health insurance coverage, meeting applicable US legal requirements, without government subsidy, except via a small employer/small employers under general law, within 12 months
D. maintain (thereafter), except for involuntary gaps not exceeding three months in any twelve, high-quality health insurance coverage, meeting applicable US legal requirements, without government subsidy, while the PPACA is on the books
E. pay a mandatory $1000 quarterly eligibility maintenance (and personal deportation abeyance) fee to USCIS by estimated tax due dates until the Constitutional amendments are fully ratified
[3% goes to USCIS, of the remainder, the first $20 billion raised goes to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, all the rest into the Social Security Disability Trust Fund]
F. pay all standard and expedited USCIS immigration fees within 18 months
G. pay a $2,000 amnesty service charge within 24 months to USCIS, discounted $40 for each month prior to the 24th
H. pay in full all US income tax amounts past due, get privately audited at their expense and then pass an IRS audit, all within 36 months
I. pay starting in 2020, a $500 tax shortfall fee for each quarter prior to 2017 and after 2006 the immigrant has not proven foreign residency/age of under 18 or lacked US income tax quarterly withholding of at least $400,
at the rate of $500 a quarter on US estimated tax due dates, to the IRS
J. pay a one-time, $5,000, non-refundable fee to the USDOT, to drive a motor vehicle on a US highway, always prior to doing so
3. They would get:
a. for 90 days, plus three days for each state that has ratified all of the Constitutional amendments we want
I. no apprehension of persons simply for immigration control/border security purposes at least 100 miles from a coast or national border
or within two miles of any listed USCIS office at least ten miles from a coast or national border
II. no detention simply for immigration control/border security purposes longer than 10 minutes of any applicant with specified official ID whose picture and name is available on the USCIS applicant registry system
b. thereafter, provided the immigrant has been paying and doing what the amnesty act and other federal law requires
I. no detention of qualified/approved applicants simply for immigration control purposes longer than necessary to verify the person is qualified/approved and in good standing
II. no deportation of qualified/approved applicants
4. We would get Constitutional amendments that would:
A. cap income/property taxation
B. restrain the judicial branch
C. repeal the first sentence (the citizenship by birth in USA clause) of Amendment XIV and declare that:
Every child born in the USA after ratification shall be born with the citizenship of their mother.
No foreigner may be granted US citizenship unless the foreigner is over age 22 and has paid US federal income tax [in excess of the value of two ounces of gold] on personal US earnings in each of the prior four years.
No treaty may be entered into that would require US residency/naturalization/citizenship/welfare benefits to be granted.
specify that:
D. No bill liberalizing naturalization or increasing any federal fee or imposing new federal taxation may be passed by Congress, except by contemporary roll call votes showing approval by:
a. at least 70% of the representatives in the House of Representatives and
b. at least 80% of the senators in the Senate
E. There shall be no estate taxation, except for:
a. federal estate taxation, to be used within twelve months of receipt to (help) pay off the existing national debt or that refinanced
b. existing or reduced state estate taxation
F. There shall be no other federal wealth/property taxation other than that federal estate taxation
G. Federal benefits, welfare and educational, medical and custodial care aid may be paid only from:
I. the first 10% of incomes, personal or corporate, under federal basic income taxation
II. federal alcohol/tobacco/drug/fat/sweetener/telecom taxation
III. and to reasonably provide medical benefits/financial payments to US people of at least 65 years of age:
a. flat-rate compensation taxation, equally up to 10% each on employer/employee, up to $24,000/year in total per employee
b. self-employment taxation no more than that employer/employee taxation on an after federal tax basis
c. recipient medical insurance program premiums that may vary solely by age
d. Social Security trust funds
H. There shall be no new federal loans made to private entities or natural persons, except to partially or fully refinance existing federal loan amounts at equal or better terms for the borrowers and federal government
I. Except for the refinancings under (H), no new federal loan guarantees shall be made
J. The federal government shall not issue any new pension guarantee, except on pensions payable to its veterans with at least 180 days of foreign battlefield and ground-to-air missile-defended airspace service
K. Federal regulation of the amount of private sector employee compensation shall be limited to setting monetary minimum wages, with reasonable monetary variations as Congress may selectively allow
[no more buying the votes of political interest groups at employer expense]
and provide that:
L. The President shall have line item veto power after January 20, 2021
5. An immigrant would lose the right to stay:
a. for failing to apply and pay in a timely manner, with one 60-day grace period per $5,000 paid by the immigrant in amnesty act levies
[excludes standard income tax law payments, no grace period for USDOT fee]
b. for failing to timely obtain/maintain high-quality health coverage, except for involuntary gaps not exceeding three months in any twelve, while the PPACA is on the books
c. for taking a government health insurance subsidy after 2017, if not from small business employment under general law, and not returning it within 90 days of demand
d. after committing a felony
In other words....no free amnesty card for illegals.
Durbin and Graham gave a press conference and they both sounded as though they would be willing to add border security in with it. Graham did say that no one wanted a wall all across the border, but maybe some parts. They both seemed to be gloating in their new power.
Anyone hear from Marco?
