McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

He said he is “anxious” to see what President Trump does about these immigrants, who received protection from deportation in 2012 by an executive order from former President Obama establishing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

"I'm very sympathetic with this situation. These are young people who were brought here at a tender age and who have grown up here or are in the process of growing up here. I'm very sympathetic to that situation and I'm anxious to see what the president decides to do," McConnell told reporters.

The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday that an executive order has been drafted to end the DACA program.

By McConnell indicated that such an executive order may not be popular among Republicans on Capitol Hill and there may be support for passing bipartisan legislation to protect them from deportation.

Are they referring to the leaked EO?

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

Yes, correct.

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

^ Same as the one reported by Vox?

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

both chamber leaders (Paul Ryan & Mitch McConnell) are supportive of our cause, says alot tbh.

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

Seems like we have the support of McConnel, Ryan, some people on the Trump team, and some other Republicans in Congress.

We just need a bill to solve our problem once and for all.

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

Bridge act will be a one time bandaid. No bueno!

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

I think they are referring to the report that came out saying the White House has found a way to end daca without trump being involved.

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

This means nothing until they bring a bill to the floor for a vote. Empty rethoric and promises. Actions is what we need. words mean nothing.

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

Wish they would add a green card at the end of the 3 years for bridge act. That would be an actual bridge. Let's wait and see what Cornyn does. He did say he would rather solve the problem for good.

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

Agreed. That's why I'm hoping they don't get rid of DACA before passing legislation. I dont have much hope in Congress given whats happened the past few years

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

I'm nervous now. Not sure what's in store for all of us next week, crossing fingers.

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

Why next week? Next week's immigration order has to do with the travel ban. I don't know where some of you get your information from .

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

Trump in line, Paul Ryan in line, 1st 2nd GOP Sens in line.

Dream Act can pass if put to vote.

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

true.. but it's gotta be attached to a hawkish enforcement bill though.

People can't even pay the 495 for daca and you guys are talking about 20k. Be realistic here !

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

You guys are jumping your horses. This is the Do nothing party, let's wait and see what happens. Stay out of trouble.

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

Folks here, I've notice, are quaintly fixated on self-fines and and how large they ought to be.

Its really strange, especially when they try to argue and out do the other on how much they ought to be fined.

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

Ok no fine

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

Guys, let's not jump the gun here.

Re: McConnell: I’m very sympathetic to 'Dreamers' :details
 

20k thing was more tongue in cheek I believe, I do find it funny how some of these guys like to list criteria they fit in and then say everyone should fit that too or else no DACA. :lol:
