Build that dang fence.
Senator McCain seems determined to make the end of his Senate career into an ongoing demonstration of why Trump won. This isn't even the fig leaf that Ryan and Rubio might have offered. It's a joke.
Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Christopher Coons (D-Del.) will introduce immigration legislation on Monday in an effort to reach a budget deal
The bipartisan piece of legislation provides recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, commonly known as "Dreamers," an opportunity for citizenship while ordering a study to figure out what border security measures are needed, according to the Journal.
It's a study.
I hope it comes with a blue ribbon commission and a 10-year survey. This is what happens when political sellouts stop even pretending.
Here's a counterproposal, how about we get the wall now and then we can commission a study to figure out exactly what we're going to do with the illegal aliens? Somehow Republicans never get around to proposing that one. Yet they expect the base to sit still for a proposal that not even Schumer would have proposed.
The legislation reportedly does not contain immediate funding for the U.S. southern border wall, however, which was one of President Trump's key demands, and is likely to draw the ire of some Republicans.
The plan would also provide more people with a path to citizenship and legal status than Trump's original plan did.
Of course it does and of course it doesn't. Those are Dem priorities. Illegal aliens before country.
