Please trump compromise please

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Cross fingers! I hope POTUS woke up on the right side of the bed today....not ideologically right, of course.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Is this the group with 20 senators?

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Yes it is.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Like I said, all Dreamers have support, Daca, the aged out with families, and the little kid ones. The issue is the changes to the system.

Please don't leave any Dreamers behind. So many families at stake! The longest one has lived here, the more equities they have.

Its just citizenship for 1.8 million and border funding $25 billion.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Any word on what this bill includes?

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Probably.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

From @lisadnews on Twitter
BREAKING: details of bipart senate imm proposal per @LindseyGrahamSC.
- DACA and border security only
- DACA path for citizenship for 1.8 million
- at least $25b for border security
- Family migration limited for DACA parents only - not allowed to gain status via their kids.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

So the Graham-Durbin bill with some tweaks.

We're going around in circles, people.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

pass it

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Yup, this sounds fair, no need to punish other immigrants by disallowing them from petitioning their parents.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Sounds fair. Let’s see what the boss says or in this case Mr. Miller.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

I have a feeling this is another DOA bill .... smh

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Pretty sure, doesnt even address visa lottery. Shouldve included that.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Who are the 20 senators in this group?

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

They are probably foreseeing other senators propose that as an amendment.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-S.C.) Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mike Rounds (S.D.) Sens. Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Cory Gardner (Colo.) Those are some of
the GOP members, along with Durbin.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Question, if we can't petition our parents what about our US citizen siblings? Its a round about way of getting them citizenship. Are our parents completely off limits?

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Under this proposed bill, only those who benefit from this can’t sponsor your parents.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Now we are talking!

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

The problem is it maybe unconstitutional. If a dreamer gain US citizenship through the measure...and the current family immigration system is in place, it would violate the equal protection clause.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Maybe we can't sponsor in LPR but once we become citizens we can. We have to wait for hte bill text.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

I’m sure they know what to do, before bills are introduced they’re revised by lawyers.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Does anybody know if they publish the details on this bill? age limit?
Are they putting it up for a vote today?

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

They are introducing it today so nothing yet.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Perfect bipartisan bill with compromises from both sides! Though I don’t think Trump will be on board at all, at this point it’s what Republicans want and I doubt this is a contender bill.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

This bill is good. At this point all they're doing is adding more bills to the mountain. When is voting going to begin?

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

That's a valid concern, but I think it would pass constitutional muster. If the class is not a suspect class, Congress only needs a rational basis to pass the law (low standard) and avoid an Equal Protection violation. Alienage is a suspect class, but that's regarding citizens and non-citizens, not between citizens.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

it's practically DOA.
citizenship for 1.8 mil, and they're only conceding border security.
if they removed the diversity lottery, maybe then we'd be getting somewhere.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

I think the rest would come as amendments

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Too many damn groups of Senators trying to pass the perfect bill. It’s as if they don’t realize you can’t please everyone. Trump is sticking to his guns if they don’t end chain migration, the visa lottery he’s not on board. Trump wants no one here but white Corporate America. I’m sorry but this is about passing some sort of CIR that will be a permanent fix for immigration so the racist establishment will stop at nothing less. Democrats are catching hell from a lot of immigrant advocacy groups not to buckle for the sakes of Dreamers. Unfortunately this is way bigger than us !!

"i don't know how politics work": the post.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Everything would have been fine if Democrats initially agreed to give him his wall. That was all he was asking a few months back, but probably after seeing Dems dont have any balls he saw the opportunity ask for anything he wanted

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

probably, but im sure they're going to try to trim the number of eligible people down if dems refuse to concede on both the visa lottery, and chain migration.
at that point what do they even have to bring to the negotiation table?
border security, which is actually a bipartisan issue?

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

veto!!!!

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

you are delusional if you thought trump would only ask for a wall in return for giving citizenship to 1.8 million people.
maybe if it was just the daca population, he would've considered it, but even then i doubt it would've included a reasonable path to citizenship.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

Trump only wants a wall, he’s said it many times before. It’s his white nationalists who want more.

Re: Bipartisan Senate Group Has Deal on DACA, GOP Senators Say
 

True. I think back then he only supported a path to legalization for current DACA only, but even that would have been better than the shit show that is happening now (Trump threatening to veto any senate bill, the current "passable" proposals that will at minimum screw over our parents, and whatever the conservative house comes up with)
