Cornyn: 'No way' Senate to take up DACA this month

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) shot down suggestions the Senate could take quick action on a legislative fix for undocumented immigrants brought into the country as children, saying Tuesday there is "no way" it will be taken up this month.

"Oh no," Cornyn said in response to a question about whether the Senate could take up legislation this month to fix the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which President Trump says he is ending.

"We will take that up, I'm confident, but there's no way it will stand alone," he told reporters.

He also downplayed the chances of a "comprehensive" immigration reform bill, while floating that a DACA fix could be tied to border security.

"Border security and enforcement. There may even be some other non-controversial visa enforcement issues," he said, asked what could be looped in.

Cornyn introduced a bill last month that would include billions for border security and immigration enforcement.

He's irrelevant

So, the excuses begin. I had predicted the failure of Congress all along. But comments were deleated and ignorant people attacked. Keep up false hopes. I heard it all since 2000. We can discuss in 6 months.

After McConell , he's number 2 . Tell me how he's irrelevant?

Lol its things like this that I fear.

"Nope can't pass anything this month"

"Nope can't pass anything this year"

"Nope can't pass anything in the near future"

Don't worry about our false hope . Why are you on this site again? Might as well stop checking here .

He's right though, They have to keep the government from shutting down before October 1 and we all know a bill to give us GC's will never pass alone, let's be real.

WH leg director Marc Short, heading into Ryan office, says WH will release legislative principles on immigration in next several days via @ericawerner

Short also says comprehensive reform including the 11 million could happen during the Trump presidency. Bullshit

I think it's time for you to fuck off

What happened to forcing a vote on bridge act, did that ever happen?
