Another bill.


WASHINGTON – Rep. Steve Pearce, a Republican who represents New Mexico's border with Mexico, filed legislation late Thursday that would allow the children of parents who came to the U.S. illegally a chance to remain in the country lawfully for 10 years with an option to renew their legal status after a decade.

The move represents a proposed compromise between Democrats who want to grant the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals – commonly referred to as Dreamers – permanent legal status in the U.S. and President Donald Trump's administration, which has announced it would end the Obama-era DACA program on March 5, 2018. Those Dreamers who have not renewed their DACA status would be subject to deportation in March.

An estimated 800,000 young people's legal status is in limbo.

Pearce is seeking the Republican nomination for governor of New Mexico in 2018. Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, D-N.M., who is also running for governor and who is co-chairwoman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, supports granting permanent citizenship to “Dreamers” who meet certain criteria. Lujan Grisham told reporters Thursday that she is hopeful that a legislative fix will happen before the end of the year but that she will not support a temporary solution.

Pearce's bill – HR 4488 – would create a “conditional protected status” for current DACA recipients. The legal status would be active for 10 years, with the option of renewal. The bill would also allow applicants to seek permanent legal status through existing immigration procedures. Pearce said his legislation would not require any work, education or military service to qualify.

“After learning the DACA program would come to an end in just six months, I immediately went to work to develop a solution – one that will provide young immigrants around the nation with even greater certainty so they can continue to work, go to school, and provide for their families with no strings attached,” Pearce said. “The bill I introduced does just that.”

The Republican congressman said the bill would ensure that “those who were brought to the country by no fault of their own can live and thrive in the U.S. without the fear of deportation.”

He is offering perpetual 2nd class status and asking for nothing in return which means his only worry is whether DreamAct beneficiaries ever become citizens

"No work, study, or education requirements ..." Why, oh why, would you not require ROI to the country that's giving you a chance?

No, thanks. They are getting desperate because is just a matter of days before Democrats attach DreamAct to must pass bills.
Also excludes a lot of ppl. Noope.

No path to citizenship?

Ummm, not the best bill out there but have seen worse.

1) it makes us second class citizens (but let’s be real most of us would take the deal).
2) secondly and most importantly, dreamers that do not qualify due to education, work, military etc. SHOULD NOT be able to get legal status. These are same people who are likely to abuse the system giving us all a bad name.

I won't take that deal. That's a lot of tax money they taken from me. It's also too late, they can't give us a shit deal when they about to fall off a cliff

It only covers current Daca recipients - not those left out original dreamers, not those whose Dasca expired, and not those who were too young to apply.
Nope.

There's a lot of better bills that need consideration first.

Didn't consider it like that, republicans are doing a speedrun of the 5 stages of grief:

Denial - Democrats aren't getting squat from the negotiations.
Anger - Fucking democrats didn't show up.
Barganing - Okay we can settle on this, please?. (We are here)
Depression - I can't believe Dream Act passed.

There's also Acceptance but who cares anymore at this point about republicans, lol.
