John Cornyn’s bitch ass

Quote:
Why do Senate Ds slow walk disaster relief (for Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas and the West) plus defense needs in order to force a DACA deal?" Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the Senate's No. 2 Republican, tweeted Friday. "We are negotiating in good faith on DACA and will beat the deadline if Ds do so as well; no need to abandon USG's other responsibilities."
Haha yea right. As long and soon as they get a 2 year agreement on spending, they are going to screw us dreamers. Dems better not agree to anything without legislation protecting as permanently.

Read the responses to that tweet. People are lighting him up hahahaha. One person is like when do we trust republicans to act in good faith? There is support for us !

Flake told reporters that the negotiations were settling on limiting the issue of “chain migration” to the DACA-eligible immigrants protected in the eventual deal.
I'm OK with that.

We will have a whole lot of federal lawsuits with the circuit courts the moment the first I-130 bounces.

Fun fact, I-130 appeal processing basically goes:
USCIS -> BIA -> Court of Appeals for your circuit of residence.

Since BIA may not strike down law as unconstitutional only way up is to take up the issue to the Circuit Court.

It would be nice to have this privilege, but one of the main argument for DA is that children should not be responsible for our parents breaking the law. A lot of people feel strongly that our parents break the law and should not be rewarded indirectly from the bill. They are willing to forgive us but not our parents.

By just doing the math on some of these bills out there, we won't become citizen for 15 years. Once we become citizen, there is still a whole process for our parents which will probably take another 10 to 15 years. Most of our parents are 50 years or older, bythe time they get their green card, they will be in their 80s.

As to our aunts and uncles, they will have to wait until our parents to become citizen and after the process, they probably won't be alive to use their green card.

What do you think? I think this is a fair compromise personally.

Don't worry, most likely nothing is going to pass so we are both screwed.

In your case, you were screwed from the beginning. In my case, I got to work in a fortune 500 company with a cushy high paying job, but in a few months I will be going back to doing shitty under the table jobs that will require me to work my ass off for barely getting minimum wage.

I am currently paying 30k in taxes each year, but soon I will not be able to (since I won't have the job anymore). My job will go to someone with an H1-B, not even an American. Somehow, this is what the Republicans and the majority of the US population wants. They would rather brings someone new from another country than letting me keep working and paying taxes.

Huh? Do your parents have a GC now? If so, I don't know what you are bitching about. If not, you wouldn't be able to sponsor them for another 10-15 years anyway (until you become a USC) so please take several seats.

I think limiting chain migration from Dreamers is as reasonable as it gets. Having this coupled with elimination of diversity lottery, some funding for the wall and interior enforcement would be a good compromise for both sides.
