McCain, Coons to introduce new immigration bill that omits border wall funding: report

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Christopher Coons (D-Del.) will introduce immigration legislation on Monday in an effort to reach a budget deal before the federal government's current funding runs out on Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported.

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.

DACA aimed to protect from deportation certain immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally when they were children.

Senate aides told the Journal that the plan would provide people who have resided in the U.S. since Dec. 31, 2013, with legal status and a path to citizenship.

The free dumb dumb caucus and Drumpf will never go for it.

1. Isn't the room service staff at Mar-A-Lago supposed to pay for The Wall?

Or was it the Mar-A-Lago pool boy who was going to pay?

8. Nope. It was Paul Ryan's secretary's $1.50/week tax cut.

Please try to keep up. Thanks.

4. It sounds too reasonable

Not rabid enough for Trump's base

5. The only way to get any immigration bills done in Congress

is to ignore the Crackpot Caucus, a.k.a., Trump's Nazi base. They just want to separate families just because they don't look, speak, or worship like them--and they won't rest until every person of color is exterminated.

7. and don't forget the "legal" immigrants

who are also against granting legal status to those who did not go through the long hard slog to get a green card.

9. I wonder how Meghan McCain will spin this

on The View since she is always defending Trump. I will be interested.
