President Donald Trump faces a fight within his own party over whether he should immediately end deportation relief for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, a central part of his campaign pledge to take a harder line on illegal immigration.

Trump is set to begin issuing a set of executive actions related to immigration, but it’s not clear his early steps will affect deportation protections for about 750,000 young immigrants granted under a 2012 executive order by former President Barack Obama.

John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Senate Republican leader, said this week that a bipartisan proposal allowing a three-year extension of the protections doesn’t go far enough. He said he favors a permanent resolution as part of a broader effort to bolster the U.S.-Mexico border.


"Why don’t we just fix it, rather than kick the can down the road?” he said.

But congressional Republicans’ leading immigration hardliner, Representative Steve King of Iowa, said Trump needs to cancel Obama’s order, saying the president’s decision on the matter will be a defining one for the rest of his term.

"He’s got to keep his word, or his presidency will be rendered toothless and ineffective and non-credible for the duration," King said.

The young immigrants provided information including fingerprints and relatives’ home addresses when they applied for protection under Obama’s order, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. They received renewable, two-year work permits and Social Security cards as part of the program.

Obama took his action after Congress stalled for years on legislation called the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, or Dream Act, which would have provided a path to legal status.

Yes, the Number 2 Republican said this.


Ryan will bring it to a vote, If Conryn supports this...

We can get the Republican votes in the House.

fuck steve king, man. that guy is such a fucking fuckhole.

this is good though:

John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Senate Republican leader, said this week that a bipartisan proposal allowing a three-year extension of the protections doesn’t go far enough. He said he favors a permanent resolution as part of a broader effort to bolster the U.S.-Mexico border.

Steve is irrelevant.

He is a moron with no credibility. Fucker can't stop us if Ryan brings it to a vote.

Fuck Steve King, go read his comment on a young female dreamer. What a douche and pervert mofo.

Steve king calling Trump toothless if he don't end DACA might incur some negative consequences for us if Trump is as thin-skinned as they say

Ryan won't bring it to a vote. He's too scared. He's all talk about DACA people, but no action. Did you see him in the town hall answering the undocumented woman's question? He doesn't give a shit what happens. He wants what Trump wants.

Even if he does bring it to a vote, do you think it will have enough to get all the way to Trump's desk? And would he even sign it?

Trump will sign anything pertaining us.

That I am 98% sure of.

Ryan will bring it to a vote if that is our last option.

Ryan will bring it to a vote if Trump wants the bill to pass. Trump has a ton of political capital right now, almost nobody in the republican party can go against him.

There is a massive rebellion brewing between Republicans and Trump. Many saw this coming all along. Trump is about to SHAKE SHIT up like none other. We have SOME SORT of relief, I don't care what type it is coming. There will be a CIR bill coming this first term. I just know it based on my experience following this ever since I was 12 years old.

Steve King is the EXACT type of Republican (Politician and supporters) I was referring to in predicting a massive rebellion between Trump and Republicans. Some people at Breitbart are also tripping balls because they actually thought Trump was going to "cancel Obama's amnesties" today! Trump is in absolutely zero mood to do this. He in fact absolutely loves Dreamers. Forget about all that shit he said before the election. None of that stuff matters. The way he is carrying himself in this executive order binge this past couple of days is extremely professional compared to his standards. Just the overall feeling I get is this dude is optimistic as hell in whatever the hell he's trying to do here.
