Durbin : says Graham’s border-wall framework falls short
Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), a key negotiator on immigration issues, said Thursday that a proposal being put together by a group of moderate Republicans falls short because it would not provide permanent help to immigrants known as Dreamers.
He told reporters he would not agree to a substantial increase in border-fencing funding if Republicans provide only temporary protection to immigrants who came to the country illegally at a young age and now face deportation because President Trump rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Durbin said a temporary fix for DACA recipients “doesn’t buy much from me. He said Republicans would need to agree to a path to citizenship for the estimated 1.8 million immigrants who would be eligible for DACA protection. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/...rk-falls-short Bye bridge act ! |

Trump and the GOP are not going to give us anything permanent when all their asking for is a down payment. Unless Democrats offer the full $25 billion again I see nothing permanent for us.

I still don’t see Trump giving us citizenship for a fence and $5.1 billion. |
Re: Durbin : says Graham’s border-wall framework falls short
The best solution for Trump is to declare national emergency and then of course get sued... He needs to save face and then be able to tell his base that he did all he could for the wall.... I could hear him say "Democrats did not want to fund it. They even shut the government... I even declared national emergency..." So no Daca-Wall deal in my opinion. Let's hope that the Supreme court does not take the DACA case.

28m28 minutes ago More Trump cancels trip to Davos citing government shutdown, which would suggest that he expects it to still be going on at least another 10 days. |
