Biggs said that it looks like both immigration bills to be voted on Thursday are some sort of DACA amnesty. He said upwards of 6-8 million illegal aliens would be granted amnesty, including parents because chain migration would only be "limited"

I doubt there will be a veto-proof bill, but he said the leadership is currently whipping votes for both bills: Ryan amnesty and the watered down Goodlatte bill

Must have the WALL

Like I told you yesterday, Mexico will pay for the WALL because we are renegotiating NAFTA

He never said when they would pay for the wall but believe me if DJT says it you can take it to the bank. I mean not you because you're a dipshit left wing shill but most people.

Correct me if I’m wrong but back in Jan of this year or Dec last trump did say he was for amnesty of DACA? This was tweeted out multiple times before Schumer and pelosi balked on the deal completely because of other requirements.
Hopefully the end of chain migration as well..?

Nope. Actually it expands it to an extent because parents of DACA recipients would be granted amnesty, including parents from a decade ago

Whatever he signs has to have the wall. Otherwise this is not a good bill.

Veto it and let congress override it. Then it is on them. Then hammer down on anyone running for re-election in Nov.

Refuse to sign a Ryan omnibus bill and shut the govt down. Hammer that with the veto and tell Americans it's time for real change. Vote them all out.

Where is the info on the sexual abuse slush fund?
Where are the unredacted documents?

Keep hammering

Sounds like both bills are junk . If this is true we may have a blue wave in the house .

Goodlattes original bill was a conservatives wet dream but it of course had hardly enough votes to bring to the floor.
Truly shows how pathetic and useless the GOP is.

This is a short synopsis of both bills. I think Trumps tweets back in January were effective in that it outraged DACA that Schumer and pelosi balked at a plan to free them up. However now that tweet might come back to bite trump because I don’t like Ryan’s plan at all..I don’t think many conservatives will either.

quote:

The Ryan legislation includes four immigration reform requirements outlined by President Trump in January. That includes providing a special pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million Dreamers who came here as children, a reduction in chain migration, an end to the visa lottery system, and money for a wall along the southern border.

The Goodlatte/McCaul measure provides a more difficult pathway to citizenship and only for the approximately 800,000 people now enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program put in place by President Barack Obama. Goodlatte’s bill would end chain migration, the visa lottery system, and would authorize border wall funding.

There's no way to find, hold, verify, and deport 10 million people. Something like this was always going to happen. Now build a wall, let ICE and the border patrol do their jobs, and continue to MAGA.

I'd even be ok with limited chain migration. If we have a wall, it's just added to the overall limit of legal immigrants we allow per year.

So if we used to allow 1M per year outside of chain migration which took the number to 10M, then just say 1M is inclusive of chain migration.
