GOP senators float fallback plan to protect Dreamers
By Alexander Bolton - 02/15/18 05:52 PM EST

Three Republican senators floated a fallback plan Thursday to protect hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants facing deportation in exchange for $25 billion in border security.

Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Thune (S.D.), Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) floated a measure that would extend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program indefinitely in exchange for $25 billion in border security funding.

It would require DACA recipients to reapply to the program every two years and cap expenditures for border security infrastructure at $5 billion year.

President Trump rescinded DACA in September and gave Congress a March 5 deadline for replacing it. President Obama established the program in 2012 with an executive order, drawing criticism from Republicans, who said he exceeded his constitutional authority.

Great, use the leverage of forgiving lawbreakers in exchange for spending more money.

With this type of compromising, we will have no hope of ever returning this country back to a sound footing.

The GOP is foolish to continue the liberal Dem agenda in the name of 'Compromise'

OK, now they're just throwing s**t at the wall.  Even if it sticks, it's still s**t.

And were supposed to get one piece of the wall a year? 



Already used the money up.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
