McConnell: Republicans ‘anxious’ for Trump immigration reform proposal

http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3...eform-proposal

Some immigration activists (such as one guy from CHIRLA) being inflexible saying they will not come to the middle unless there is a path to citizenship. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR It's easy for them to be so demanding and ask for shit when they have legal status.

Settle for a work permit now. We can lobby for adjustment in the following years.

Democrats will block many effort at all costs. They will rather have millions deported that compromise because it is just politics.

Yup, many people just want to be able to work, not be citizens.

They will get primaried. Liberals are already pissed about the dem Party being faux progressive.

Pretty much this. A lot of them will get primaried out especially in vulnerable seats. That blue dog from Indiana will definitely have someone primary him out.

Nothing worse than DINOs.

That's bullshit and you know it. If and that's a big IF Republicans are going to have any kind of immigration reform, it's going to be a negotiation. Your starting position has to be strong and you come out with your ideal case which is a path to citizenship. The final result may be some sort of legalization but you don't start that way because the Republican starting position is to "go back and stand in line".

You guys are going to have to be stronger than this and not just roll over to the Republicans when they throw you a bone. The worst thing that can happen is that Republicans pass and take credit for a half-assed immigration reform that just makes it harder to come here legally (code word: Merritt Based), doesn't give green cards to anybody, and just ends up making existing DACA a law.
