Nine GOP Members Vote for Democrats’ DACA AmnestyNeil Munro 18 Mar 2021
Business and ethnic lobby pressure ensured that all Democrats — plus nine GOP members — voted for a huge amnesty bill that provides no offsetting benefits to working Americans.
The giveaway to migrants, businesses, and Democrats passed 228 to 197, marking a comfortable win for a high-priority Democrat agenda item.
The bill, H.R. 6, is titled “The Dream and Promise Act,†and it would provide a quick amnesty to several million migrants who have been brought to the United States as children by their illegal immigrant parents. It would also deliver green cards to several hundred thousand foreigners who were given “Temporary Protected Status†or “Deferred Enforced Departure†status.
Progressives hope the amnesty bill will give them a political lock over Texas, Florida, and other states, so pushing the GOP and its supporters into a long-term subordinate status.
The bill was supported by nine of 206 GOP members, despite a pressure campaign by GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
But the relatively small number of GOP supporters will minimize pressure on the 50 GOP Senators to vote for the citizenship giveaway.
The nine GOP members are:
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE)
Rep. David Valadao (R-CA)
Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI),
Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL)
Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA)
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
Rep. Chris Smith (D-N.J)
Rep. Carolos Gimenez (R-FL)
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL)
