Tom Cotton, top Senate immigration hawk, supports legalization in DACA deal.

Respect for Senator Cotton. Some of you need to take a look in the mirror and understand these immigrants are here because of someone else's decision.

Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, who after the departure of Jeff Sessions has emerged as the Senate's leading immigration hawk, says he would support the legalization of all current DACA recipients -- nearly 800,000 of them -- if Congress would at the same time pass measures to protect Americans workers from the effects of that legalization.
DACA, which stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, was created by President Obama's unilateral decision to shield from deportation and grant work permits to people who were brought illegally to the United States as children. President Trump is set to announce Tuesday whether he will end the program. Congress would then decide the next step for the nation's so-called Dreamers.
"We ought to take care of them," Cotton said in a telephone conversation Sunday, noting that DACA recipients arrived in this country illegally "through no fault of their own."
"In any legislative fix, I would like to see them receive a green card," Cotton said. At the same time, he continued, "We ought to recognize that giving them legal status has two problems. First, it creates a whole new class of people who will then be eligible for a green card and citizenship -- namely, the extended family members of those who will receive legal status who can, through chain migration, get legal status themselves."
"Second," Cotton said, "it will encourage more illegal immigration."
The first problem can be fixed by passing the RAISE Act, Cotton said -- the bill Cotton has sponsored with fellow GOP Sen. David Perdue that would strictly limit chain migration as well as re-balance current immigration policy in favor of skilled immigrants.
The second problem could be addressed by extending E-verify across the country, which Cotton called "the best way to reduce more illegal immigration."

Which candidates did you support in the GOP primary? I can't figure you out

We've already given amnesty two or three times - how many times do we have to keep doing this?

Keep the smart hard working one's. Send the rest back.

Not without wall funding and more tougher immigration enforcement and RAISE act and E-Verify being passed or the amnesty act is vetoed on arrival.
President Reagan played this game with Tip O'Neill and got stabbed in the back for it. frick falling for that bullshite again.

That's great, now support Tom Cotton's RAISE Act and we have a deal!

Exactly, and that's why we're still dealing with illegal aliens 30 years later.

Everybody willing to sell us out for their chamber of commerce massas

Cotton wants the RAISE Act as part of the deal. I'm down with this. Compromise isn't bad people. Trump was suppose to be a great negotiator and this could be a great deal.

As of right now, enough GOPe republicans oppose the RAISE act to nix a deal like this because their CoC overlords want the cheap labor.

The RAISE act is Cotton's baby. He would do anything to get it passed.

Fully fund wall and pass RAISE FIRST,
Then DACA (and it only become a effective if the above pass and will automatically repeal if either of the above are unfunded or repealed).

.@PeteSessions suggests guest worker bill as "start" for Dreamers if DACA ends - "while it's not the whole loaf, it's more than half a loaf"
.@PeteSessions: "That's where I believe we should start. Do we have the votes for that? Yes, I think [if] we do it creatively and smart."
.@PeteSessions: "We left $2 billion in the field agriculturally this last summer ... we need agricultural workers."
.@PeteSessions: "People cannot pass drug tests. People do not want to do hard work. We need for the sake of America to deal with this."
.@PeteSessions: "We have an available workforce that is there. We need to work on a guest worker plan, which would solve many of these ills"
The GOP has already lost, it's all the about terms of surrender

Uh huh..SSDD. "We'll give you this now, if you promise to give us that later."

They have to go back. I don't give a damn what the uniparty politicians think. Trump is the only one up there with any balls.
Posted on 9/4/17 at 10:31 am to Rakim
I'm fine with it as long as we get the wall and mandatory e-verify.

If there's any attempt at an amnesty bill without the RAISE act, E-Verify, and/or wall funding and tougher immigration enforcement, it will be vetoed on arrival but the Freedom Cacus will oppose it because amnesty with no stick and enough democrats will oppose it because too much stick even with amnesty in there.
It has to be a part of the same bill, no more and no less.
