Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday on CNN a compromise on border security that “might save the day in the Senate” was possible in the Senate.

“At the end of the day, there’s a deal to be had,” he said to “State of the Union” host Dana Bush, adding, “We need to start talking again.“

Graham described the outlines of a potential deal that would exchange funding for a border wall, as sought by President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans, in exchange for protections for those known as Dreamers, those undocumented immigrants who have grown up in the U.S. after being brought here as young children. Those protections have been sought by Democrats on the Hill.

"So to my Democratic friends, there will never be a deal without wall funding and many Republicans are going to offer something as an incentive to vote for wall funding that you have supported in the past,” Graham said.

TPS is deferred action, but by another name.
TPS= deferred action, EAD.
Daca (half-ass version of Dream Act)= deferred action, EAD.

No, they need to seriously negotiate Dream Act (no age cap), a refugee program for TPS (since the status is conditioned on the danger in the countries of origin), and legalization to gain wage parity and labor protections.

no liberal media is reporting this...

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

What if this is the democrats strategy to legalize us. Be aloof and disinterested and then go I guess we’ll add daca protections for ur 5 billion *rolls eyes* and trump cheers like a baby while everyone knows he turned down 25 billion for us lol

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

If you check CNN youtube page the words out of Grahams mouth are for BRIDGE ACT (a ONE TIME three year work permit for DACA recipients only, not all dreamers) and extension of TPS for 5 billion dollars, NOT LEGALIZATION

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

And it has no freakin travel. The Bridge Act is even worse than the original DACA.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

If their plan is to give us BRIDGE ACT then just leave DACA alone instead.. DACA is better than BRIDGE ACT.

As Graham heads to tWH today, there is some chatter..strictly between bipartisan senators..about a potential way out of the shutdown $5.7 billion for wall & a DACA fix along with some other immigration provisions. Graham has pushed a bipartiswn DACA fix for a while

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Lol the Bridge Act. SAD!

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Can you post the link

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

I thought it had travel

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Please Lindsay, get a deal done. I just want to keep on working.

AFAIK, no. Not even mention of AP.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Can you please post a link where he specifically says Bridge Act?

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

“has traveled outside of the United States
without authorization from the Secretary;”

I assume that’s advanced parole

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Advance Parole is pain in the ass. You will have to lie and come up with bs reason why you traveling there. Oh yeah and pay for AP more than the cost of air ticket.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Fuck that... they wanna keep using us for more deals when the 3-year extension expires. Just keep DACA alone.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

BRIDGE is garbage but I'd take it in a heartbeat. At least we will have chance to survive the Trump presidency assuming he doesnt get re-elected.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

This country is getting all the productivity from us when we are young and will just kick us out once we are old lol

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

ditto

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

I'll take anything that let's me work. I'd pay double the taxes a citizen pays for none of the benefits that citizens get.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Exactly why immigrants who have been working here for 20+ years need the opportunity to apply for status as much as you. Furthemore, they have been productive longer.

Guys, stop perpetuating the non-sense that you are only worth of immigration status if you are of 'service'. That is the H1B program in which you immigrate on the premise of prospective labor.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

The difference is that a lot of us — if not most of us — have no memories of ever living anywhere but this country. Some of us do not even speak the language of the country we come from and even the decision to come here was not our own. Returning to our “home country” would be a death sentence.

We are very clearly in a different situation than the immigrants you mentioned and the only reason we are even in the discussion to have a chance st legalization is because most Americans agree that we did did not choose this life.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

gtfo taxes are already 30-40% of income. I'm not fucking working for 20-40% and none of the benefits. I rather go back to the shadows and take home cash.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

@markknollee

Pres Trump didn't commit to a DACA deal on border wall funding, but he's "open-minded," Sen Graham told reporters on emerging from WH lunch with @POTUS. Graham said the pres called the idea "interesting."

He's gotta consult with his buddy Miller first.... actually he's gotta consult with Fox News first

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

We need GC. No Bridge acts...

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Let’s stop acting like UWD and stop demanding GC. No we are not getting anything permanent, Trump isn’t going to give us anything permanent unless he gets something big in return.

I’ve said it all along, best case scenario BRIDGE act, worse case scenario NOTHING.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Need Ann Coulters opinion first.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

I hope this opens the door for dems to start negotiating for a permanent fix instead of band aid Bridge Act.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

The thing is once the BRIDGE act expires we go back to square one... they should make the BRIDGE Act renewable.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

They just need USA Act. It’s exactly what the DM and RP want. Border security without a real concrete wall.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Bridge Act is Daca with 1 more year. No thank you!

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

The bill would create a renewable eight-year conditional permanent resident status that would allow Dreamers to earn the ability to be protected from deportation, work legally in the U.S., travel outside the country and apply to be a lawful permanent resident if they meet certain requirements.

I support USA Act.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

Yes. Just eligibility wise. See “without” and “have”.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

It has a bunch of other stuff in it.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

The future for DACA recipients still remains in limbo. My message to them: keep living your life and be active. In 2019, Congress must act to give them the security they need to live up to their full potential in America. #HereToStay

IDK why it's not copying well on my phone

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

people here still trynna pick what kind of relief they gonna get? lmao y’all think ur in a buffet line?

yall mfers are gonna apply be it the bridge act or a clean dream act.

or we aint gonna apply to nothing at all!

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

We have no one else to go to. We are gathering and repeating ourselves but still, we can all agree one thing: the best deal we really is bridge + travel.

Re: Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown
 

I'm living my best life
