House Appropriators Who Oppose Amendment to Allow DACA Recipients to Compete for Fede
 

Here is a list of all of the House Representatives on the Appropriations Committee who claim to have voted against the Pete Aguilar amendment that would make DACA recipients eligible for federal jobs. The amendment was passed by a voice vote and therefore not recorded. Some committee members were reported to have appealed for a recorded vote by Chairman Frelinghuysen who denied them.

Financial Services Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ga.):

“I spoke against this amendment, voted against it and urged all other committee members to vote against it. And I’m already working to get it stripped from the bill when it comes to the House Floor.”
RepMartha Roby (R-Ala.):

"I voted 'no' on this amendment and expressed my concerns with its inclusion in the bill to Chairman Graves. I appreciate his attention to this issue and efforts to get the amendment stripped from the final bill."

All these people who are opposing us are in the minority. Hopefully, their efforts to strip it out of the final bill fails. I also find it reassuring that we have the republican chairman of the house appropriations committee supporting us.

How does the amendment process work in order to strip this out?

What a bunch of idiots. What is in their stupid heads? World is disappointing. Is there any country on earth where this isn't an issue?

UIt has to go before the full House, where an amendment may be introduced to strike it from the bill. The Senate will write their own bill which will not include the DACA provision. Then both houses go to conference committee to write a final bill. It's doubtful the DACA provision will survive the entire process.

You are talking as if you are part of the senate committee in charge of this process. Who knows what they will do?

Re: House Appropriators Who Oppose Amendment to Allow DACA Recipients to Compete for
 

Exactly, nobody would of guessed this provision would be approved by that house committee.

I think we are all cautiously pessimistic due to all the times CIR has failed. However, the factors and stakes are different now if daca ends. I don't think most republicans want to be associated with the party that destroyed young people's lives

I can imagine all the stories of people losing their jobs not being able to support their family. That type of emotional stuff moves legislation.

They have been waiting all along to destroy our lives... Nothing will stop then now.

These AG will regret their decisions. Notice there was no talks of defunding DACA by congress. Republicans want to appear to be anti immigrants to appeal to their base but they don't want to actually follow through on this. During when obama was president it was easy for them to do this knowing he'd ultimately protect the program. It's the same thing with healthcare, they could easily repeal it with no replacement like they previously tried doing countless times.

The opposition to this amendment by these GOP is the exactly same thing I worry about if it comes to legislative solution for DACA

Re: House Appropriators Who Oppose Amendment to Allow DACA Recipients to Compete for
 

They can be opposed to it all they want. At the end of the day we only need a slim majority to support us.

Re: House Appropriators Who Oppose Amendment to Allow DACA Recipients to Compete for
 

I wouldn't say they. I would some of them. Remember some Republicans say "they are criminals" and that's not true only some of us are criminals.

Don't be like those people

Someone asked a question and I answered it. Any school can explain how a bill is passed. It's not a secret.

Re: House Appropriators Who Oppose Amendment to Allow DACA Recipients to Compete for
 

Actually the House did vote to cancel DACA while Obama was President. It never went to the Senate.

Not everyone hates us

There are still good people on this planet

Re: House Appropriators Who Oppose Amendment to Allow DACA Recipients to Compete for
 

Well, some are sympathetic, I would say some even would legitimately help us.

Some others would do anything to see us leave the country no matter how exemplary or good. We could have the key to curing ebola and they would still say, deport!

Very likely you will be a citizen by the next cycle, don't vote for idiots.

Re: House Appropriators Who Oppose Amendment to Allow DACA Recipients to Compete for
 

Basically propose an amendment to remove the text from the bill. After which the house may vote on it and either approve or deny it by a majority vote.

The house may also consider the bill under closed rules where no amending is permitted and the bill as is is given an up/down vote.

Also back to the topic, of course it's a republican from Alabama. That shithole should've never been readmitted as a State and eventually ceded to Cuba.

Idiots can be in any party dude. That's why Hillary lost to another idiot.

Re: House Appropriators Who Oppose Amendment to Allow DACA Recipients to Compete for
 

I did not mention party, Democrats have many as well.

More importantly, tell your story to others.
Make a case for dreamers.
