Daily Caller: WASHINGTON — House Republicans are throwing their weight behind an immigration bill widely supported by conservatives that would provide a legislative fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program Wednesday.
House Speaker Paul Ryan’s decision to back the bill — which was crafted by House Judiciary Committee Bob Goodlatte, House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mike McCaul, GOP Reps. Raul Labrador of Idaho and Martha McSally of Arizona — signals he plans to deliver on his promise to the House Freedom Caucus he would bring the measure to the floor if it garnered enough votes for passage.
The bill has received pushback from Democrats and moderates for being crafted along party lines, with many coming out against it citing its handling of “chain migration,” funding for a wall along the southern border, its language on sanctuary cities and the elimination of the visa lottery program in favor of a merit-based system.
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise said the bill addresses the requirements laid out by the Trump administration while providing certainty for DACA recipients fearing they will lose their protections if the Congress doesn’t pass something in coming weeks.
What a colossal waste of time! Evict all illegals and then enforce current immigration laws and the problem is solved! That would then allow Congress to get back to their critical function of getting rich at taxpayer expense!
Ryan backs the bill. That in itself causes me to question what is in the bill. Ryan earned the moniker, “LYIN RYAN” for many reasons. This may yet be another.
The bill is to settle the fears of Illegal immigrants (DACA) who would be subject to deportation?
If it settles the fears of illegal immigrants how does it attack the problem (which are immigrants who are here illegally)?
“….provide a legislative fix…”
Here’s a damn fix; RESCIND THE EXECUTIVE ORDER DUMBASSES, IT’S NOT A FUCKING LAW, IT’S A BRAINFART BY THE FIRST QUEER MUSLIM TRESPASSER.
Just cut the damn bennies.
Sanctuary my ass.
why pass another law they will just ignore ?
we already have a legislative fix on the books, the current law.
