House OKs Dems' immigration bill, despite veto threat

Democrats shunned a White House veto threat and muscled legislation through the House Tuesday that would bestow a chance for citizenship on an estimated 2 million-plus migrants, a bill that stands virtually no chance of enactment but lets them showcase their efforts on one of their highest-profile priorities.

The analysts also said the measure would cost more than $30 billion over the next decade, largely because many migrants attaining legal status would qualify for federal benefits like Medicaid.

Taken from American taxpayers by gun point and threat of financial ruin if we do not pay our taxes.

I don’t mind if a select few become permanent residents, however, no one who enters this country illegally should ever be granted citizenship - never!! How do we make Congress understand that??

[GOPJ]

Trump should veto the abomination...

Trump should veto the abomination

He won't, unless the Senate Republicans are stupider they we imagined.

All it takes is one activist liberal judge to grant those “permanent residents” citizenship.

“I don’t mind if a select few become permanent residents”

Well, I do! Kick them all out and let them get in line like people who want to emigrate to America have to do. We are bastardizing our population with trash people who have managed to come here from their respective “$hithole” countries mostly because they elected Maduro look-a-likes and have ended up not liking their choices. Unless we stop being a “fake refuge” for this low-class trash, we will stop being the country that we are. America First, means America First for Americans. Everyone else can go to the end of the line.

I believe this is the vote.

7 of the usual Rs supported it.
Hot to get rid of these.

They’re being booted. There would’ve been over 40 before 2018.

[Freedom4US]

They don’t care. If you hadn’t noticed.

[mrsmith]

That’s true. They mostly ‘retired’ last election.
Dems replaced a lot.
But this election those Dems are weak.

Would be great to get the House back w/o flaming RINOs.

Democrats really aren’t for open borders, y’all. Citizenship for 2 million, no border security. In fact, it has negative border security since it strips away the paltry sum of money Trump was able to divert for some walling.

President Trump needs to up the ante by citing implementation of The List.

The list goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population)
7) demonstrate English proficiency to acquire citizenship and pass civics test.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to self-deport.

Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.
