Thread: New Senate plan puts border security last – if ever. – FAIR

New Senate plan puts border security last – if ever. – FAIR

By Jennifer G. Hickey February 5, 2018










President Trump injected prior DACA deals with steroids when he proposed giving amnesty to almost three times more people than the Obama administration. In exchange for waiving 1.8 million children of illegal immigrants through the door, he asked for limits on legal immigration and boosting border enforcement, including building a wall.



Democrats and open border Republicans did not even nibble at the deal. Instead, they railed against any effort to limit immigration to nuclear families by ending chain migration and – again – criticized the notion of building any form of a border wall.



Not content with just biting the hand that was feeding them the overly-generous deal, the pro-amnesty crowd has thrown another idea on the table – amnesty without the security.



Today, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) introduced a bill which includes no funding for construction of border wall. The measure, he said, represents “an important starting point” on a path to a bipartisan agreement on immigration.



His Democratic co-sponsor, Chris Coons of Delaware, acknowledged as much in an interview on MSNBC saying their plan “needs more border investment” while simply moving “towards securing control of the border by 2020.”



The McCain-Coons bill is a near carbon copy of legislation offered earlier this year by Reps. Will Hurd (R-Texas) and Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.). Again, there is lots of talk of goals, studies and cost estimates and silence on addressing current needs, such as hiring more border and interior agents, background checks and enforcing existing laws.



Those on the front lines of the illegal immigration fight know that a promise made to secure the border is worth nothing.



In a letter that was critical of the Trump immigration framework, National ICE Council President Chris Crane reminded the president that negotiations are not “important starting points.”



What emerges from any negotiation, he wrote, “sets the table for our nation’s immigration enforcement policies and strategy moving forward, and any critical enforcement measures bargained away potentially leaves gaping holes in law enforcement’s ability to provide for public safety and national security.”



The cost of those holes? Ask the families of Indianapolis Colts player Edwin Jackson and his Uber driver who were killed over the weekend by a Guatemalan citizen who was driving drunk despite having been deported in 2007 and 2009.

LOL!! Oh really, FAIR?? Gee, I bet you're feeling pretty stupid right now, huh? Well, you deserve very bit of it for even thinking about a "deal" on DACA, you ugly eggheads. You think you're smart enough to traipse into a den of foreign inequity called the US Congress and "cut a deal" with these SWAMP CREATURES and come out on top??!! You give them an inch, they'll take a mile and your head in a basket. It's unbelievable that you all would be that naive and stupid. You're IDIOTS!! Just look at the mess you've made.

If they set a future date like that you know it is going to provoke a mad stampede of people trying to get in. And with them will come the fraudulent claims for asylum or some other status.There was just a news story of Mexico having detained 500 people in the last few days---once again in trucks and big semi trailers.

Exactly. It's the evil of the SWAMP against the idiots at FAIR, CIS and NUMBERSUSA trying to get "something" after all these years of getting nothing. And evil will win in the Senate, we'll get amnesty and FAIR, CIS and NUMBERSUSA will get nothing. All smoke, no fire. All bones, no meat. You can not "negotiate" with crooked Congresscritters in the Senate on amnesty. You can not. We've known that for over 30 years.

Sort of like Trump, huh? To my knowledge he is the only one, other than the liberals, that's asking for a path to citizenship for almost 2 million illegal aliens.

Yes, like Trump. Trump should not push a DACA Amnesty to get wall funding or any other immigration bill. I think I understand why he's doing it, but I strongly disagree with it. No, Trump isn't the one pushing pathway to citizenship, that's the result of his negotiations with the Senate. Several Republicans in the Senate want a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens who get an amnesty and have for many years.

I was just on live chat with FAIR...gave them a earful of posts!

Trump's own plan calls for a pathway to citizenship. He put it on the table when pretty much everyone else was pushing for legal status.

Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Jeff Flake and many other Republicans in the US Senate along with all the DemoQuacks demand a path to citizenship for illegal aliens given amnesty and have for many years. Don't you remember the pathway to citizenship issue from the Gang of Eight bill in 2013? All those Senators are still there in the Senate. Nothing's changed and if Trump wants to try to get funding for the border wall, reductions in chain migration, funding for interior enforcement to deport illegal aliens, etc., etc., then that's what he's trying to do. Is it for real? Is it a poison pill? I don't know.

Trump's plan in October did not call for pathway to citizenship. He came out and stated publicly, "no amnesty", no "pathway to citizenship", this new position of the 1.8 million with a path to citizenship is the result of negotiations with the Senate. A poison pill to ensure it's killed in the House? Well, that's what Ted Cruz and Jeff Sessions said the point of it was in the Gang of Eight bill in 2013. At least that's what they said in 2016 during the campaign.
