So sad but most likely true.

Re: Follow the new bill filed in Congress. Recognizing American Children Act (RACA)

Any bill introduced in a Congress that neither party holds a 60-40 majority is pointless. It doesn't matter which party has this majority. When one of them has it, Republican or Democrat, we will see a CIR. Till then, long live DACA!

Re: Follow the new bill filed in Congress. Recognizing American Children Act (RACA)

At least they didn't put an age limit (that I can see anyway) on this one. I still want to know who the intern was who put an age limit on the original DACA and fart in his general direction.

Congress is in recess though.

Re: Follow the new bill filed in Congress. Recognizing American Children Act (RACA)

“It is one thing to fight for the immigrant community, but it’s another thing to take advantage of their hopes to score political point,” Garcia said in a May 13 statement. “Carlos Curbelo wants to introduce a bill that stands no chance of passing precisely because of the Republican leadership that he wholeheartedly backs.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, has said his caucus won’t take any immigration-related votes this year.

Curbelo and Garcia tussled over the DREAM Act in 2014, the year the Republican ousted the Democrat from Florida’s 26th congressional district. Though both said they would have backed the law — in Curbelo’s case bucking his party — Garcia contended Curbelo wouldn’t confront GOP leaders who continued to block legalization efforts.

This year, Garcia, who is in a contested primary against Annette Taddeo, also noted Curbelo’s opposition to Obama’s executive actions on immigration — and his support of then-Republican presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, who wanted to repeal them. On Tuesday, Taddeo said in a statement that Curbelo’s bill “is nothing more than a political stunt to make amends with South Florida’s Hispanic community. It’s just shameful that Carlos believes South Florida voters will buy into his cheap election year tactic.”

I hope that this isn't really the case and he is actually supporting this. So far, with the way it's positioned and supported by a Colorado Republican, it looks legit to me. But it is a very valid point that he could just be doing this simply for votes.
