Sensenbrenner: Compromise On Border Wall Key To Protecting DACA Recipients

U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner has been a long-time critic of illegal immigration, but now he says he would like to see an exception made for youth involved in the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.

Sensenbrenner is on a congressional task force looking into a potential compromise over President Donald Trump's plan to end DACA by spring.

There are roughly 800,000 children living in the country who have received DACA benefits.

The suburban Milwaukee Republican told a recent forum that he hopes the young people who have been protected from deportation by DACA are allowed to stay.

"It is my hope that we will do something to allow the DACA kids to stay in the country," he said. "The details on that are subject to debate that is going on."

But Sensenbrenner said in return, DACA supporters need to drop their dislike for more border security, such as a wall.

"If people take that position, I guess they're putting their opposition to the wall ahead of trying to do something for the DACA kids. I want to do something for the DACA kids," Sensenbrenner said.

The congressman said that his stance reflects the current political realities in Washington, D.C.

"We need to get the signature of the president of the United States. Now, what that means is that there is going to have to be compromise by everyone concerned on this. Everyone is going to have to step back a little bit," he said. "If we gridlock on this and nothing is passed, in the middle of March, the 800,000 DACA kids will be deportable. Now, that's not to say they will be rounded up and sent back to where they came from immediately, but they will be deportable."

Told of Sensenbrenner's remarks, Valeria Ruiz Lira, a DACA enrollee from Racine, said the wall would be too costly.

"They want to have taxpayers like myself and like my parents and others pay for the wall, but yet there are public schools losing art programs, music classes and sports money — all these things that help siblings of DACA recipients cope," Ruiz Lira said.

Ruiz Lira also said a bigger wall would just allow guides for those crossing the border illegally to charge more money. She calls for a so-called "clean DREAM act" that would make protection from deportation permanent.

I'll support the wall on the condition that he goes down to the southern border and builds the fucking thing.

Fuck this prick.

I really do not like this guy, and I doubt he cares about any of us. Maybe, the same thing could be said about any Republican because their interest is mainly in getting border security. I understand that. However, if we focus on political strategy and getting things done, every vote counts, and I say his support is welcome because we sure as damn hell are not going to get a clean bill--even if we do shut down government. There will have to be give and take, period.

If Sensenbrenner is saying this then DA is guaranteed to pass with their stupid wall money.

Why would any Dreamer be against the wall is beyond anything rational.

You are fucking already here!

Then I think it's fair to say that they are also holding us hostage over a stupid static object that won't deport anyone.
