Bipartisan group of senators says it has a DACA deal Bipartisan group of senators says it has a DACA deal 2 Hours Ago | 01:04

A bipartisan group of senators working on immigration legislation has reportedly reached a consensus.

The deal will be announced later Wednesday, senators involved in the so-called Common Sense Coalition told reporters after a closed-door meeting.

"It's going to be ready today," said Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., The Hill reported.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said the deal would establish a pathway to citizenship for the nearly 2 million undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children and protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, Bloomberg reported. Graham also said the deal will address border security.

Graham said the deal would not, however, deal with the so-called diversity visa lottery, which prioritizes immigration from countries that send fewer immigrants to the U.S., or family reunification, which immigration hardliners have dubbed "chain migration."

Trump isn’t going to get swindled by the appropriations shell game. No Wall cash, no deal. It’s that simple.

You got that right...and confirmed by my tag line.

CHAIN MIGRATION is 30 to 60 TIMES GREATER PROBLEM than anything with DACA. One immigrant brings in all her low skilled, low wealth relatives to feed on the welfare trough, and then in turn each one of them sponsors all their low skilled, low wealth relatives. EXPONENTIAL GROWTH of unproductive immigrants!!!

Trump knows that the DACA deal is the only bargaining chip he can use to get the wall. Trump won’t sign a bill that doesn’t give him funding for a wall. A feasibility study or a promise to look into a wall will bring a Trump veto. All these bipartisan plans do is to tell the constituents that they tried to get a DACA deal.

...senators involved in the so-called Common Sense Coalition told reporters...

Whenever they us the words "Common Sense" you know it is anything but....

I doubt Trump will sign it without all his 4 pillars being addressed in a meaningful way.

POTUS, Trump...if this weak “Democrat” bill passes the Congress....veto it immediately. The future of our great country is on the line.

Whenever politicians (i.e. Rats’n’RINOs) use the term “common sense”, bad stuff is sure to happen.

Trump was winning the info war on DACA so the pubbies had to run interference for their dem buddies. Now the dems can say they got a deal and the evil Trump vetoed it or blocked it.

“I would take that deal as long as the wall is fully funded and construction starts before this goes into effect.”

The wall needs to be FINISHED, ribbons cut and done, before anything else happens. Anything else and we know what will happen - they will get their amnesties and all of a sudden, the EPA or some other agency will find some reason to stop construction.

I would but my esteemed Senators are Chuck Schumer and Kristen Gillebrand. I suspect my exhortations would fall on deaf ears.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.,

That is what "bipartisan" means. No thanks, Lindsey.
