Dream Act passes House

With chants of “Yes we can” raining from the rafters, House Democrats on Tuesday powered through legislation to cancel deportations and grant future citizenship rights to millions of people, in a vote that nodded more toward 2020 politics than to substantive policymaking.

The 237-187 vote was momentous, marking the first major legalization to pass the House in nearly a decade, and underscoring the ground Democrats feel they have gained on an issue both sides expect to be at the center of the presidential election.

With President Trump calling for action to solve crisis at the border, Democrats countered by casting their eye inward at the 11 million illegal immigrants who already made it across America’s boundaries and have found places in the shadows.

Democrats on Tuesday singled out more than two million of them for legalization, in what party leaders said was the first step toward a more comprehensive solution.

“We have the opportunity to be a part of history, to be on the right side of history,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told colleagues as she rallied support.

That history is not likely to be made this year, however.

Republicans who control the Senate won’t bring Mrs. Pelosi’s bill to the floor, and the White House vowed a veto anyway.

“No compromise is possible without both sides coming to the table,” the White House said in a policy statement this week.

The way Democratic leaders shepherded the bill through the chamber suggested they weren’t interested in a compromise. They allowed just two hours of floor debate and blocked the GOP from offering any amendments, effectively daring Republicans to either vote for the bill as-is, or else be labeled “anti-immigrant.”

The US will bust up into ethnic country enclaves.

That's my prediction as well. The white Europeans, blacks, hispanics and muslims will populate those enclaves. In time, the entire landmass will be overwhelmed by hispanics and muslims.

[ScottinVA]

Even Reagan granted amnesty.

For 3 million illegals, on the agreement that the dems would support border security measures, which the dems abandoned. Reagan later regretted ever cutting that deal with the dems.

Will get nowhere in the current Senate …

On another thread, some folks were ranting against the current Senate, calling it useless, and claiming they don't care if Chuck Schumer becomes Senate Majority Leader in 2021.

I think we can see, here, the folly of that point of view.

Kick out his/her parents with them. Unfortunately, bleeding hearts are too infesting our society so this reasonable step won’t likely be taken. Pathetic.

[Texas resident]

Back when G W Bush was in office, the accepted number of illegals in our country was 35 million. Then, overnight the number was changed to 11 million. His term ended 10 years ago.

And we had 8 years of Obama throwing the border open and aiding the drug cartels.

Mr. Trump has a hell of a mess on his hands.

[SkyDancer]

Run by Democrats that will sink the US into a morass of Third World diseases and economy.

“If they successfully impeach and convict him first,...”

Impeach perhaps, if they are stupid. The Senate is not going to convict.

11 Million.. Maybe in the 90s! We're certainly up to 30 or 40 million now. CA by itself probably has 11MM of them...

Political pragmatism is alive and well!

[gunsequalfreedom]

Sorry to hear about your son. Prayers. They are doing amazing things to help people recover. And there is no way those just coming here should be taking away resources from American citizens that busted their arse working and paying taxes.

On this issue, my comments in line with cleaning up a mess not what I would have done in the first place The DEMS and GOP created a giant mess. I would have moved the military to the border long ago and kept them there until the wall was built.

We don’t, however, have the luxury of turning back time.

[mass55th]

Thank you for your prayers. They are greatly appreciated. I agree that our military should have been on the border a long time ago. Unfortunately, too many Presidents over the years, both Republican, and Democrat alike, have chosen to ignore the steady influx of illegals into this country’s southern border. We’re paying for their ignorance now, and will still be paying in future generations to come.

You have much more faith in Mitch and his ‘Frat Brothers’ than I have ever been able to muster.

I hope you are right though.

[eartick]

You may want to go back and read my post. What I talk about ain’t happening yet.

[SkyDancer]

And what I said was there’s a little Somalia there in the Twin Cities where the cops won’t enter - it’s what’s coming.

It depends on the issue. When it comes to stopping the invasion of our Southern border, draining the swamp, or letting the Middle East fight their own wars, I have no faith in them at all.

I don’t trust them to support much of the President’s agenda - I’m just saying they won’t dare vote to remove him - they know he has already become too popular.

I’m also predicting that after 2020, they will finally see the writing on the wall - the popularity of his America First agenda will be impossible to deny -and will ultimately be embraced by the GOP out of necessity.

President Trump can lead the GOP - like a horse to water - but he can’t make them drink. Only thirst can do that and I think eventually it will.

It’s more likely the USA erupts into civil war that ends with destruction of the Left and the imposition of an authoritarian nationalist regime that exiles, imprisons or executes Leftist traitors surviving the holocaust.

After all, The Big Mo is with the Right wing - the reactionary Globalists/Leftists are under siege everywhere - and their turn to violence will be their undoing, as civil war by the Confederate traitors in 1861 was their undoing.

All I want to do lately when I read most news is swear. (The exception being JUST the President and The First Lady news)

I hear you, good news pieces are far and few between.

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE "The Immigration Reform Bill had some interesting provisions

====================================

The "immigration reform” bill included two “slush funds” amounting to $150 million dollars that may be supplemented with additional taxpayer dollars for years to come, earmarked for non-profit organizations such as the blood-thirsty La Raza.

America-hating Raza Studies teach (1) violence, (2) undermining US ntl security, and, (3) the need for Mexico to "re-take seven states in the Southwest...in order to make the SW a Chicano nation. "

REFERENCE---LA RAZA TEACHING HATE-AMERICA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS La Raza Studies do not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: Raza Studies textbook “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323). La Raza's Occupied America textbook teaches: “.......execute all white males over age 16,” (pg 167 AKA the Plan of San Diego).
