John Cornyn Key GOP senator: Don’t link legal immigration cuts to Daca
 

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) is urging the White House to back off from a plan to require cuts to legal immigration as part of a deal to protect young undocumented immigrants.

Cornyn, the No. 2 Senate Republican, said Congress should have a “bigger debate” about what the country’s levels of legal immigration should be — separate from a legislative fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

“We ought to be narrowly focused on the DACA fix that the president’s asked us to consider … and then we can turn to these other issues in the next legislation,” he told reporters on Thursday.

The administration wants to completely overhaul the damn immigration system in exchange for DACA legislation.

Trump is just doing what Miller wants because he believes it'll satisfies his racist ass base.

He needs to go with his gut and stop listening to all these racist assholes.

Re: John Cornyn Key GOP senator: Don’t link legal immigration cuts to Daca
 

Trump "how can I satisfy my racist ignorant base and pass legislation for dreamers"

Newsflash! There is no way!

Most of these republican GOP are funded by the Koch brothers and their vast donor network, so I'm not surprised.

They only alluded to racist sentiments to win votes, their donors will prevent them from actually doing anything anti-immmigrant

Cool cool cool

The White House should take note before letting Miller be in charge of this process.

It's okay guys they can't vote on our shit, but 219 of GOP just voted to Cut Medicaid, Medicare, And Public Education To Give Tax Breaks to Millionaires And Corporations. (commondreams.org)

Finally something reasonable. If they truly believe we came here with no fault of our own then they should help us without a huge trade off

they believe that 20 years from now another batch of DREAMers will happen, that's why they want these enforcement provisions.

Re: John Cornyn Key GOP senator: Don’t link legal immigration cuts to Daca
 

Another batch of dreamers will take place if they don't take care of the broken immigration system. They need to solve that in CIR. Right now it's about saving us. Like Cornyn said, a larger discussion needs to take place but after they address the issue for the current Dreamers. The Republican party chose to do this piece meal so they can't expect to get everything they would ask for in a Comprehensive deal. Dreamers are by products of the broken immigration system when parents illegally migrate with their kids. They can't address that without bring up what to do with the 11 million already here. Deporting 11 million will break the bank so they need to be realistic as well.
