In Graham’s office, GOP senators discussed an immigration deal - $5.7B for the wall - plus provisions to entice Dems: DACA, TPS, H2B. Kushner told them if it has wall money and can pass Senate, WH would be open to further talks. Rs now plan to pitch Ds



If dems reject this, LOL

We need to decrease highly skilled worker importing too. We need to educate our native born people for those jobs. More difficult, but better in the long run.

The Dems are not going to deal. They have become such powermongering ideologues that they are incapable of legitimate quid pro quo, the kind of thing that used to make our two party representative government work.

Please, No amnesty for illegals on welfare. Don't give everything else away for a symbolic wall.

If dems reject it they are done, done put a fork in it.

Just don't tell Ann Coulter if they give them some DREAMERS she is a full blown loon.

H2B


is a visa program. It's very popular with donors of both parties to bring in foreign workers to replace more expensive American workers. Expanding it would be a mistake.

This takes time and some cultural shifting.

All upstanding immigrants who are fulfilling an economic need should be welcome.

ETA: Agreed on the education though. Americans need to get more interested in STEM.

If we are going to give up all that then we better get full funding of $25 billion for the wall!

As long as that does not entail a path to citizenship or welfare I am cool with it.

I don’t care what you throw in for Dems, if they make any sort of deal that involves 5+ billion for a wall, their base is going to go berserk. This is about 1 thing, and if there is wall funding of any sort, it will be seen as a massive defeat.

No it wouldn’t? Have had to use it several times in rural areas where we couldn’t find enough locals capable of passing a drug test (East Tennessee). Worked well for everyone involved.

horseshite. Their base are mindless sheep. Their overlords will have an NPC talking point out that will pivot their nuanced evolved position and suddenly they will be championing the wall they always wanted built by midnight.
