Three-year DACA, border security deal blocked in Senate - Page 2

Smooth · Smooth

I am glad this shit failed, and here is why:

1. Excludes aged out Dreamers.
2. Gives border security concessions for something temporary.
3. Serves as a cover up for the Democrats to use us for the election.

Why is UWD and other 'advocate' organizations not protesting the White House as they did with Obama?

I am also glad this failed. They only way this should pass is if citizenship is in the bill.

Lankford is right. We need a permanent solution.

For Flake's tactic to work, none of his fellow 99 senators could object to his motion. Sen. James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, quickly doomed the measure when he objected on the grounds that he believes Congress should continue working on a permanent solution for the "dreamers."

"If Congress does a temporary patch once, it'll do it 20 times again," Lankford said. "My concern is for the DACA kids that are in my state in Oklahoma, the 7,500 of those. They are looking for an actual solution. They want a sense of permanence. Their status has been in limbo since 2012. The question that we need to resolve is: Can we actually resolve this for them?"

Lankford added that "a couple of federal courts have pushed back on the administration, (and) have bought Congress a little more time to be able to help resolve this issue."

Lankford asked Flake to modify his request so that the Senate could resume consideration of the previously failed legislation backed by Trump.

Flake agreed that a permanent solution is preferable, but said the Trump-blessed plan "is for all intents and purposes, comprehensive immigration reform, which would make changes to the legal immigration structure moving ahead.

"That's simply too much to bite off at this time," Flake said. "As much as I don't like to do it, I'm offering something that is stopgap. But at least it's three years. At least it will give those affected three years, and for us in Congress, some time to actually come to a solution. What we cannot do is force these kids through more uncertainty."

Only problem is Congress ISN'T working on a permanent solution. There's no plans to work on it at all.

Exactly. They're all talk but no action. We don't want a bandaid. We need a permanent solution that will give us a pathway to citizenship.
