Rep. Pete Sessions: Guest Worker Plan Could Help DACA Dilemma

Rep. Pete Sessions Monday called for a guest worker plan that he said could help address the fate of some 800,000 "dreamers" who could be affected by an order from President Donald Trump to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, and he believes his party needs to step up on the issue.

"A guest worker bill would acknowledge that they're here," the Texas Republican told CNN's "New Day" program about the DACA program, which was enacted through policy memorandum in 2012 by former President Barack Obama, not through legislation.

"While it's not the whole loaf, it's more than half a loaf," Sessions continued. "To move them directly into our workplace, directly into a status where they have an opportunity to make wages, pay taxes, and to have a legal status as a guest worker, I think that's the minimum that we should do. That gives opportunity for people who today are without any opportunity and that's where I believe we should start."

Sessions said he does believe there are enough votes in the House to pass a guest worker's bill, if the matter is handled "creatively and smart."

"We've got to work with the White House," said Sessions. "Our party and members of the House are prepared and I think ready for this."

Anything at this point.

thats fine jay, ill take bread crumbs at this point. lmao

I wonder if this guest worker plan would open up possibly for employee sponsorship, thus, eventually GC. If so, that'd be great

Oh, but ppl are already in the workforce doing all these things you claim they will be able to do with their temp card.

No.

Bruh I'll take anything that will allow me to keep working right now.

Lmao he sounds dumb as hell though. Watch the video guise!

Btw, one of the the leaders of Voto Latino came on MSNBC and basically refused to support passing any legislation for dreamers without addressing the 11 other million population . The anchor seemed shocked and had to ask her twice . Yup CIR or nothing for these groups.

At this rate, each congressman will author some type of pro-Dreamer bill.

Lol these idiots.

Sounds good. All this talk about loaf made me want a torta.
