Key House chairman floats changes to immigration bill - Page 6

GOP Rep Biggs on discharge petition for DACA/immigration: I think the discharge petition is a mistake and..for red states..the outcome will be a real miserable outcome..you’ll see..an enormous problem

GOP TX Rep Barton on DACA/immigration discharge petition: It’s usually a wake up call to the leadership to do something

McCarthy to talk w/ldrs of the 4 big House GOP Caucuses to try find a way forward on the conservative immigration bill offered by Goodlatte. McCarthy wants clarity going forward into the Memorial Day recess so everyone knows the path in June.

lmao some of us speak as if we had any rights to be picky. Reminder for everyone: Regardless of what age we came here, we came illegally. Our parents came illegally. We are illegal. I will take whatever I get. If some of you rather be undocumented if some bill like this passes, no one is stopping you.
It is always good to wish for something better, but we have no rights to be demanding whatever we want, and congress has no obligation to to give us anything since they represent American citizens

They can come back to it? At this rate, we'd wait 35 years for another immigration bill

these people literally ram things through that aren't in the best interests of the american people, but are worried about what voters will do EVEN with a conservative immigration bill? even though some 80% of america doesn't mind if DACA people get legalized?
un fucking real.

The immigration bill — which would extend work authorizations for DACA recipients, fund a border wall and more border security, and cut legal immigration — does not have enough votes to pass as it is.

Despite that, House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows hopes the Goodlatte bill can be used as a vehicle for negotiation with moderates to find a DACA solution, his spokesperson told Axios

Moderates please don’t agree to anything without strong protections or at least conditional residency. The Goodlatte bill is way too restrictive.

If the latte bill was to pass it must be with eventual citizenship for us. For all they ask that's the bare minimum to include. Nothing less.

The Gbill literally harms us and everyone else for a status worse than not having anything

Cleary you don't understand what the Goodlatte bill entails.
Your parents bye bye. Do you know what is e-verify?
Educate yourself on the subject, what you don't know can easily hurt you.

US was build by the dreams of immigrants, and it saddens me that you don't respect the blood and sweat of others by submitting to a minority of small minded rednecks that do not want you here.

Freedom Caucus chief Mark Meadows pretty much concedes defeat on the pro-DACA discharge petition.

"They'll get to 218" votes, he says, but adds that even if it passes the House it won't become law so he's not trembling with fear.
