Finally, a bipartisan deal to help the "Dreamers" - Page 4

News is spreading. RollCall has an article on it -https://rollcall.com/2022/12/05/senators-pitch-deal-to-protect-dreamers-boost-border-security/.

Key points:

- And it comes during the lame-duck session that advocates and lawmakers say is likely the last opportunity to pass immigration legislation...

- The agreement would legalize undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children who face uncertain futures in the U.S. amid legal challenges to the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program

- lawmakers are considering other elements that could bring them on board — including an extension to Title 42 pandemic-era border expulsions and additional detention beds

-Immigrant advocates, however, warned they would not support an agreement that banned asylum completely.

- Any agreement would likely need to be attached to an omnibus spending agreement or continuous funding resolution rather than moving as a standalone bill.

I doubt that number is accurate. That's half of the undocumented population. But of course, we will need to see the text of the bill before confirming.

I think by the end of this, the 2 million figure may actually be much lower.

2010 feeling all over again

They need to shut the hell up and stay out of the talks. Most of them are US citizens and have no skin in the game.

A deal could potentially be reached at the eleventh hour it seems. We're headed right down to the wire here on what promises to be a chaotic end to the year. I do believe this is the best opportunity in months/years to get a concrete bipartisan permanent solution for Dreamers while strengthening the southern border. And that too it has come from the most unlikely source, Blue Dog Sinema and GOP rockstar Thom Tillis. It is now that we must shun the far left radicals who have been profiting off of immigrant fear and far right crazies and strike a massive compromise.

LOL, agreed.

Fuck man why are they getting our hopes up again?

They are already trying to kill the deal so their cash cows continue to feed them

I think this is the only item we ALL agree here.

This needs to be kept low profile imo, I can see fox news radio telling people to call their congressman to oppose this bill as soon as they find out about it, and these "pro immigration" groups make nothing but noise and wake up the opposition

Lol but when there isn't any proposal they tend to quiet??
