Democratic and Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are working on legislation that would limit deportations if President-elect Donald Trump repeals President Obama’s executive orders on illegal immigration. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), both members of the panel, are crafting a bill........


quote:

The bill is likely to have the support of another Republican on the committee, Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.). He was a member of the so-called Gang of Eight that put together the comprehensive immigration reform bill that passed the Senate in 2013.




quote:

“Sen. Graham and I discussed it again this morning and we hope to even have this bill ready before we leave next week, a bipartisan effort to say to the new president, ‘give these young people a fighting chance,’ ” Durbin said on the Senate floor. Graham says he’s trying t



All of these were Never Trump people

Lindsey Graham has also been a douche of a frick, but Jeff Flake has become embarrassing though. He used to be relentless in the House in defending taxpayer money, but since he got into the Senate he has joined the Dark Side.

frick them both. I'm regretting ever going to bat for the guy.

It will never pass in the House, but this does not bode well for Trump legislation in the Senate.

As Obama famously said "I have a pen and a phone".
Trump will put his pen & phone to good use.
And the snowflakes will just have to "snowflake".

if you dont understand the need to actually control the border in an age of rampant global terrorism or the economic damage and crime that illegal immigration causes, you are beyond help. Not to mention the big 'frick You' to legal immigrants who followed the law.

I can't stress this enough. If you don't like something they are doing you can at the very least call or send an email.

In other words they are simply running their mouths. There will be no Trump-limiting Congressional Bill at this point. Not a chance.

Graham won't run again, but Flake had better watch his tail. He's up for reelection in 2018. Loss of his seat to Dems could cost the GOP its first-ever filibuster-proof Senate.

Graham preparing 'Dreamers' bill

they may as well become democrats-already. I hope someone else steps in to primary all of the GOPe diehards.

The GOPe had best wake-up. They think they will use Trump for their way. Their secret pow wows off on island resorts are well known.

Kevin McCarthy says Trump will drain the influence of the Freedom Caucus

That's part of the problem with Graham. So many people try to run against him in the primary that it's almost impossible to coalesce support against one candidate. Graham also has solid constituent services, so he carries some favorability there.

He's not well-liked in SC. But it's near impossible to unseat an incumbent Senator through a primary. And the Dems do not run a serious candidate; I'm petty sure they ran a homeless dude a few years ago.

They should be all voted out of office. Why any rational constituent would support this bill is beyond comprehension. No, I don't blame the kids of illegal immigrants; I blame the parents who violated our immigration law by coming here illegally. Children are often victims of actions taken by parents. It's sad but it not justification for disregarding the rule of law; in fact it stands as testimony to the importance of being a law abiding citizen.

He and McCain are both fricking worthless.

If Ryan actually lets this even get to the floor while Obama is still in office, he should be shot.

What I'm wondering is, why is there such a big clamor to allow illegal immigration?

I mean, 1) it's illegal, against the law of the land. 2) we have terrorists currently, and it allows them easier access to the country. 3) as you state, it's an insult to those who do it the right way.
So, what's the main reason it's so popular to support? It can't all be to build a voter base 20+ years from now. Is it that cheap labor is THAT hard to come by, domestically?

they won't be able to get any legislation passed

as for Graham, unfortunately that cocksucker does not have to face the public until 2020 - I doubt he survives another term though
