re: Uniparty - Senate Republicans Start Amnesty Talks with DACA Illegal Aliens

quote:

---

74% of Americans favor a law that would provide permanent legal status to immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children, while 24% are opposed. As with other immigration issues, some of the sharpest differences in these views are between Democrats and Republicans. While 91% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents favor granting legal status to immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children, about half of Republicans and Republican leaners (54%) say the same.

Senate republicans taking up an issue that is overwhelming supported by the voting public seems appropriate.

DACA is much like federal delisting of marijuana - an action broadly supported by the large centrist majority and held hostage by folks on the extreme of both parties. The far right wants to block the action because they are against it and the far left wants to block the action because they want to hold something popular as hostage to pass some omnibus progressive trash bill.

Republicans would be wise to take this issue away from democrats in 2024.
