Graham sees potential for deal to end shutdown - Page 5

All Dreamers are in a special situation, which is why we need the Dream Act.
I agree with you that Dreamers did not choose to come here (though we choose to stay) and that we are Americans by another name.

I disagree with the binary of more deserving/less deserving of status narrative because is false. We need status based on the fact that we have grown up in this country, not because you got an employment card six years ago. It is false and definitely not a winning argument.

Lmao. They gonna be the first ones in line to apply.

lmao u hate DACA and DACAers so bad... T_T

What an intellectually lazy response - you know damn well how flawed advancing the idea that 'other' immigrants are less deserving has hurt the undocumented community.

i never said anything about other immigrants are less deserving.

it was just an observation from non-DACAers on this forum = “If we are not included, nobody should get included.”

Let's go back to the topic. I think Graham's proposal will be an interesting deal.. I hope Democrats won't crave. If they have to bring in TPS, DACA must receive similar benefits!

#LongShutdown

Graham suggested on CNN's "State of the Union" a "three-year one-time renewable work permit for the DACA population" could be included in a potential deal, which was part of the BRIDGE Act Graham and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) previously introduced in the Senate. Graham also suggested action could be included to protect visas for individuals with expiring Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

"So, basically $5 billion for the wall, plus the BRIDGE Act, TPS and some legal changes to do away some of these magnets to illegal immigration ... might save the day in the Senate," he said.

A 3 year one time renewable work permit with no travel privileges does nothing for us.

Yes. Just keep Daca than.

We've all been here before. There are roughly 800,000 DACA recipients. The deal that was proposed earlier this year for $25 billion in wall funding for legalization of dreamers would have come out to $31,250 per dreamer. I don't know about you guys but if you offered me a green-card for that price-tag, I'd buy it right now. Frankly, I could care less what Trump decides to build. I'd give him any amount of wall funding for greencard.

But, democrats, will never make a deal for us. We are just their pawns in their political game.

The conversation is very simple:

Mr. President, what would you want in return for legalization of the dreamers?

I want money for my wall!

Done deal!

Attach AP! NO BRIDGE Act.
I wish I could have a conversation with him directly.
