Donald W. Trump????
Republicans are pushing an amnesty bill that is shockingly horrible. And incredibly, Pres. Trump's formerly hawkish-on-immigration adviser, Stephen Miller, says the President is all for it.
Yes, the bill would include the wall. But what good is a wall, when illegal aliens can simply fly into Miami or San Diego? Or, just like the caravan, they only have to show up TO the wall, and they'll be welcomed across it.
THE WALL WON'T DO A BLOODY THING TO REDUCE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
According to Politico, the bill would cut chain migration and the visa lottery, two of Pres. Trump's pillars, but it would add all of those visas that would be cut to a new "merit-based" visa.
"The bill would curb family migration and end the visa lottery program, transferring all of those visas to a new merit-based green-card program that Dreamers and other immigrants could apply for."
So we're TRADING relatives of current immigrants for skilled laborers; that's not so bad, right?
WRONG! The bill would also create a new category of family visas, "H-4." So we'll get the workers PLUS massive waves of family members.
Surely, President Trump wouldn't support that?
FROM the WASHINGTON POST:
"Later in the day, Trump’s top immigration adviser told a group of conservative lawmakers that the White House is supportive of the more moderate option, which GOP leaders see as the best chance to pass in the House."
THIS IS CERTAIN ELECTION DISASTER!
Here comes the Democrat wave.
Last month, the Republicans had actually pulled ahead with a LEAD against the Democrats in the Reuter's generic ballot question. Now, as the focus has turned to the Open Borders' discharge petition, the Republicans' poll numbers have absolutely plummeted, WORSE THAN EVER.
And it's no wonder!
More than 80 percent of Americans REJECT amnesty with no cuts in legal immigration, including majorities of Democrats AND Hispanics who are present legally. No, you're not going to get Hispanics by pandering to illegal immigrants, Republicans. Majorities LEGAL Hispanics RESENT being lumped in with illegal immigrants and DON'T WANT amnesties, or chain migration, or anything else that hurts their ability to make a decent living... JUST LIKE ANY OTHER AMERICAN.
DON'T JUST WHINE ON LINE! CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND TELL THEM YOU'LL DO ANYTHING YOU CAN TO STOP THIS ABOMINATION!!!!
First remember that political is a bit biased.
Second- When you see the words “Washington Post” then it is time to move on.
I think Trump knows if he signs onto any amnesty bill, he knows he would be finished.
Who knows if any of this is true BUT the point of the wall being useless without massive immigration reform and upholding the security at the wall is so true. Furthermore, tens of millions need to be given the adios.
They do not enforce current law. The idea that they would start to enforce new laws is crazy.
They were all over his previous “cave” on DACA, too. How’d that go?
Miller used to be the Anti Amnesty WH aide .
Or was he ?
The Gop Reps and the WH are nuts to be pushing Amnesty and Daca before the midterms .
Haven’t heard a thing about this. Proof of MSM fakenews propaganda.
That is perfect.
Millers comments are very troublesome .
Let me know the results of the call. I think it is important for Trump not to cave to his advisers, who are probably telling him to be pragmatic. Better to have no bill than a Paul Ryan sneaky bill that does nothing.
I think you are correct about WH aides like Miller
Selling us out for pragmatism .
That fact Miller is stating these pro Amnesty comments is
Alarming .
Regardless RINO Ryan will end up a Chamber of Commerce lobbyist come January
Ryan is focused like a laser on pulling off this RINO amnesty giveaway before he leaves town. Miller is the firewall. Trust Miller. Will Trump do likewise?
Very true
Drugs are very bad for you.
Get a grip!
Too late. Freak out. Take a middle get a massengill douche and give it to your fellow freepers for vanity bs.
Middle = midol. Damn iPad
I’m not buying a word of this nonsense.
