Update: House to vote on Immigration bill Thursday

Via the Hill, Ryan announced that they are brining the bills to vote tomorrow.

Paul Ryan and Bill Goodlatte each have a proposed bill. Goodlatte’s original proposition
was a conservatives wet dream. Then he had to modify it because he was told he didn’t have the votes to even bring it to the floor.
As of yesterday Goodlatte conceded and said if he had to he’d support Ryan’s plan.

This is Paul Ryan’s master plan

The Ryan Bill appropriates $23.4 billion funding for border barrier construction and infrastructure technology.

The language in the bill appears to pull back the amnesty if funding for border security is rescinded, diverted, or expended in methods inconsistent with Section 5101, BUT the recipients of the amnesty, for all intents and purposes, would simply remain in lawful status — free to live and work in the United States — in perpetuity.

The bill fixes the loopholes that have been exploited by families sending unaccompanied alien children (UACs) to enter the United States illegally, and by alien parents arriving illegally in the United States with children.

It also would prevent parents entering illegally from being separated from their children in immigration detention.

The bill also includes broad judicial review of virtually every provision. “This will give activist judges significant authority to control the implementation of the bill as a whole, and crafty lawyers the ability to tie up the implementation of the enforcement provisions indefinitely and expand the amnesty provisions, likely beyond Congress' intent.”

The bill does not include any language requiring E-verify or limiting grants to sanctuary cities.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement receives no additional funding – no commensurate technological improvements; no enhanced new authorities; no new detention facilities; and no new human resources.

The exit system, which has been mandated multiple times by Congress, “will be significantly underfunded from the start, and probably suffer even further from prioritization of the border barrier and improvements above all things. The near certain result will be that the biometric exit system will itself remain one of those 'unfunded mandates.' "

Trump, as of yesterday, has already come out publicly supporting both bills “1000%”.

Is this a fricking joke? Ryan’s plan would be devastating. The only positive thing in it is funding for the wall. This bill would be a huge victory for the Dems.
