Trump administration sends Congress three-part immigration reform agenda
by Anna Giaritelli | Oct 8, 2017, 7:38 PM

President Trump will propose to Congress an immigration reform agenda focused on border security, interior enforcement, and the creation of a merit-based visa system, a senior White House official told reporters Sunday evening.

In response to speaking with interagencies and rank-and-file lawmakers, the administration compiled a list of to-do items as Congress mulls over how to respond to the winding down of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

The White House official made no mention of DACA, former President Barack Obama's 2012 executive action, but said the three items on the administration's proposal represent the top line findings of what various federal departments said was necessary to reform. The administration is expected to share its plan with Congress this week.

How Congress reacts will be very telling ... I expect the usual roadblocks from the DEMS and the RINO's.  My eyes will be on Rubio in particular as it will be interesting to see which way he will lean after hearing all his excuses during his campaign for joining the Gang of 8.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

I'm afraid the Republican caucus in the Senate will not disappoint.  The usual suspects, and a few surprises, will vote no.
