Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) says it is “not just House conservatives” who will push back against a reported solution for dreamers being crafted by House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), but that also the Senate will shoot the plan down.

In a brief Twitter message, Cotton — a leader for pro-American immigration reformers — said the Senate opposes Ryan’s alleged plan that would be slipped into an end-of-the-year spending bill to give amnesty to the nearly 800,000 illegal aliens shielded from deportation under the Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

In the House, Speaker Paul Ryan announced to the Republican Study Committee (RSC) that he is planning to slip an amnesty for the nearly 800,000 illegal aliens into the spending bill, as Breitbart News reported.

For Ryan’s DACA plan, fellow Republicans revealed that the full-funding of a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border does not “definitively” have to be part of the amnesty agenda.

As Breitbart News reported, Ryan’s amnesty plan failed to even attempt to promote President Trump’s detailed list of pro-American immigration priorities, which include:

Construction of a border wall
Deporting unaccompanied alien children who are not at-risk in their native country
Preventing criminal illegal aliens and gang members from receiving immigration benefits
Mandating E-Verify, which weeds out illegal aliens from taking U.S. jobs
Eliminating the diversity visa lottery
Classifying overstaying a visa as a “misdemeanor”
Restricting certain federal grants to sanctuary cities that refuse to detain criminal illegal aliens
Ending family-based chain migration
Enacting a merit-based legal immigration where only qualified immigrants can enter the U.S.

Ryan’s plan also pushes aside a popular plan by Cotton and Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) known as the RAISE Act, which would cut legal immigration levels in half in order to relieve American blue-collar workers and middle-class Americans of the burdens of current immigration rates where more than 1.5 million foreign nationals enter the U.S. legally every year.

I don't like saying "fake news" but this is fake news. I scrolled through Cotton's twitter feed and see no mention whatsoever of DACA.

Also if you google 'valubit news wiki', the first link that shows up is "Fake news website - Wikipedia"

Mods please delete

Only reason I posted an alternative link was because I didn't want to link Breitbart because that would upset some users here.

But the tweet is very much real.

Although these types of articles are written with a right wing bias, the info about some conservatives retaliating against Ryan's DACA deal is pretty much legit and it will be a big problem in December with the spending bill.

I stand corrected

Tom cotton is not gop senate leadership. He speaks for himself !

They have no choice really if Dems remain united and insist on this. 2017 is the year this gets done not 2018!

Well wait, there's two twitter accounts for Tom Cotton.

I was looking at this one:

https://twitter.com/SenTomCotton

The one with the tweet mentioned in the article says refer to the other one for official updates..Who the hell knows

If you go through this twitter page (https://twitter.com/TomCottonAR) it's all anti immigration stuff... idk

OP doesn't have DACA. He hates DACAers. Of course you will post negative stuff.

LOL at thinking Cotton speaks for all GOP in Senate.

He is nobody.

The reality is they need democratic votes to pass a spending bill. All these so called conservatives grandstanding are not going to vote to pass these bills anyway. If they oppose DACA being part of it then they can find just republican votes ( which won’t be there) to pass it then lol.

Cotton is just mad because the Raise Act was pushed aside by both Dems and Republicans.

They need you!
