Breitbart: Thirteen Republican Senators are demanding President Trump halt immigration enforcement at the United States-Mexico border until they can pass legislation closing a legal loophole, perhaps leaving the border open for years.
In a letter by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), he and 12 other Republican Senators have taken the extreme, open borders position that the Trump administration should release every illegal alien who crosses the southern border with a child into the interior of the U.S.
The plan would spur a completely open border until the Republican-controlled Congress passes legislation that allows children to be detained with the border-crossing adults that they arrived in the U.S. with.
“We, therefore, ask you to halt implementation of the Department’s zero tolerance policy while Congress works out a solution that enables faster processing of individuals who enter our country illegally without requiring the forced, inhumane separation of children from their parents,” the letter signed by the 13 Republican Senators states. “We believe a reasonable path forward can be found that accommodates the need to enforce our laws while holding true to other, equally essential values.”
Here, Breitbart News has compiled a list of all the Republican Senators supporting this plan to stop all border enforcement:
- Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
- Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)
- Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS)
- Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)
- Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
- Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN)
- Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
- Sen. John Boozman (R-AR)
- Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV)
- Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO)
- Sen. James Lankford (R-OK)
- Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
- Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH)
SNIP: Those living in Nevada know that Dean Heller is also anti-gun.
Of course McLame is on the list. All he cares about is abusing the power of his office to get back at Trump for not kissing his ass.
NOTE TO OTHERS – IF YOU SHARE ANY LIST WITH MCCAIN, CONSIDER YOURSELF FOOKED!
In a perverse way, I find the complete predictability of the list to be reassuring.
Oh, look. Rob Portman. I’m shocked.
Where’s jeff flake? Would he not sit still for them to tape a pencil to his hand?
Once and for all, can we dispense with the worthless D and R designations?!
Abusing that R does nothing to represent 70% of Americans.
Let’s designate legislators P or AA: Patriotic or Anti-American.
When have McCain or Snowe ever voted apart from liberals?!
A sorrier lot I’ve never seen.
Just called portmans office for what it’s worth
what!?!?!? … no ‘Little Marco’???
Just curious, but if this were to happen, why would any illegal cross our border without a child in tow?
My senator, Portman, is also there. Republicans in Ohio are stuck with Kasich and Portman. My apologies for my state.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ- ooh that’s right. Where is he? Could he be chicken scratching his own letter? lol
“Just curious, but if this were to happen, why would any illegal cross our border without a child in tow?”
Yup. The problem will double and triple. That’s why these senators are the same as child traffickers and pro-slavers.
Ohio Dan – You’re not alone. Our state gave this nation the gift of Harry Reid and Dean Heller.
We have McCain sans Graham? Something is amiss here. Could my senior Senator be having a crisis of conscience?
Something’s up with Graham. He’s trying not to piss off Trump for some reason, lately. lol
MJA, Flake is busy trying to get the laws ignored for his own hispanic lobby, the Cuban government. I’m sure the whole damn list up there will be signing on with his project, too, when the time comes.
This list reminds me of the line from the movie “Casablanca”–“Round up the usual suspects!”
The usual suspects.
OMG! Dean Heller! I cannot effing stand that guy. I’ll never forgive Danny Tarkanian for pulling out that race and running for Congress.
The email I just sent to RINO Susan Collins:
Why in the world would you want to stop border enforcement? There must money in it for you.
The parents who put their own children in dangerous, illegal situations instead of staying home and fighting to make a better life are the ones who are responsible for what happens to them and their children. Although, as you well know, most of the children are unaccompanied. And why all of a sudden are you so concerned? This has been going on since Bill Clinton and now you’re outraged? Really?
These illegals are NOT the best and brightest. You know that too. They are coming here for an easy life on welfare and special treatment when it comes to jobs and schools, etc.
Maybe it’s time you stop taking money from the Chamber of Commerce. The do love their cheap labor.

they likey some walnut sauce maybe?
Both of my bastards are on there.
Cory Gardner from CO is another ‘conservative’ that has been an epic disappointment. He beat raving lunatic Mark Udall but what good is it when he votes the same way. And CO is having a lot of issues with illegals, the media just hides their status.
Drive them out!™
The official list of closeted Democrats.
Damn!
Susan Collins
Damn!
