Thread: Bill would grant some Liberians permanent status and path to citizenship-MONDAY VOTE

Reed Includes NDAA Provision to Extend Permanent Residency Status for Eligible Liberians and Open a Pathway to U.S. Citizenship

Considering the overwhelming support received in the U.S. House, I suspect it will sail through the U.S. Senate. Guess we'll now get to see if Trump will sign an amnesty bill.

Another Amnesty bill out of the blue on a holiday Monday???

Senate advances massive defense policy bill

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly on Monday to advance a $738 billion defense policy bill, clearing the way for a vote on final passage on Tuesday, which will send it to the White House for President Donald Trump to sign into law.

The Republican-controlled Senate voted 76-6 on a procedural motion to cut off debate on the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA.

The Democratic-led House approved the measure by 377-48 last week.

Because it is one of the few pieces of major legislation Congress passes every year, the NDAA becomes a vehicle for a range of policy measures as well as setting everything from military pay levels to which ships or aircraft will be modernized, purchased or discontinued.

This year’s legislation included a 3.1% pay increase for the troops, the first paid family leave for all federal workers and the creation of a Space Force, a top military priority for Trump.

Trump gets what he wants and the Democrats are getting something they want in return. This political move to slip amnesty in a defense policy bill is ridiculous.
