What do y'all think?
I say allocate $100 billion, actually build the wall, deploy the active duty military to the southern border, put a tax on remittances to Mexico and other countries, end chain migration, end the lottery system, punish employers who hire illegals, end welfare and food stamps for illegals, and pass a Constitutional amendment banning birthright citizenship.
Then we will decide which dreamers we want to keep on a case by case basis.
Why?
My vote for protecting Dreamers? Send them to their real homes, where they will be safe. My preferred option is deport all illegals. No exceptions.
I’d settle for build the wall, end chain migration, end visa lottery, end all immigration programs that are not based on merit, end merit-based immigration unless it both helps our country as a whole and helps working Americans. If we get all of that, I’m willing to trade a year-by-year legal residence for Dreamers, conditional on the wall being built and continued aggressive deportation of all other illegals.
R's and D's are worthless. The fact that we are still dealing with this nonsense is obvious.
Do you want non citizens hanging around $hitting out Americans? No thanks. Just so they can work?
US children suffer everyday because of the wrong decisions of their parent{s}. There isn't a lobbying group for them. There isn't a politician running in front of a camera and having their back. But, we are supposed to support these daca and dreamers. nonsense.
I think, like always, something will get passed and no one will like it. But something will get passed. The Founders set things up that way on purpose. All the shouting about it is meaningless. The deals that will be done to pass the bill will have nothing to do with the wishes of citizens. You’d think after a thousand times people would understand the setup.
Hello
The House is hitting the airports for a long weekend .
Good bye
So, you guys are saying that people need protection from Mexico? Are implying that the country is some kind of... ummm... hole?
Don’t you wish these bottom-feeding politicians cared as much about Americans as they do foreign nationals? It appears that the “democrats” are engaged in “nation building” in order to make America a Socialist ****hole.
I say NO! This plan says $5 billion per year for 5 years for the wall. If Democrats get a majority in either house the allocation for wall funding in years 2-5 would be $0. Fund the wall, or send them home.
Shut the effing government down; for real this time.
Indefinitely makes it a deal-breaker (I hope). Seems like a crappy fallback plan
I think too much of our government is more concerned about fraudulently documented foreigners than they are about the citizens.
Trump won’t walk give in without something fairly significant...
Border security doesn’t say wall, and it’s capped at 5 billion a year. Does the 5 billion have to be approved every year? Also, missing is chain migration and visa lottery fixes.
Have each DACA pay a $10k fine to pay for the wall, and that’s a deal.
Remember these back stabbers in the primaries and if they make to to November too. Better to have a real DemonRAT than a pretend Republican.
Started out with $15 billion for the wall and now we’re up to $25 billion?
Just give them a year. Once you give them legal status that’s all you’ll ever get.
Complete every inch and then we deal. Every. Inch. Complete.
“in exchange for $25 billion in border security funding”
Watch out for the old “authorized but not appropriated” gambit from these crooked b@$+@&ds.
