Gaga Monster 13,001 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 As President Trump considers ending an Obama-era program that allows immigrants brought to America as children to obtain legal status, a small number of congressional Republicans are pitching a “conservative Dream Act” as a fail-safe. But it’s far from clear that Republicans could wrangle the votes to pass that bill in the House — or where it might fit in a crowded September session already thrown off by Hurricane Harvey. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.), who represents a Denver swing district, said Thursday that if Trump ends Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, he would use procedural maneuvers to force a vote on the Bridge Act — an encouraging sign for Democrats, who long said that they need just a handful of Republicans to join with them to force a vote on such legislation. Several other Republicans in diverse swing districts, including Reps. David Valadao (R-Calif.), Jeff Denham (R-Calif.), Will Hurd (R-Tex.), Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) and retiring Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), have said they would support seeking protections for DACA recipients. In the Senate, the Bridge Act is co-sponsored by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), who have said that it would likely have the support to pass. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/09/01/moderate-republicans-pitch-daca-fix-but-are-short-on-votes/?utm_term=.feb678e87e5c GGD Presidential Elections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaga Monster 13,001 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 For those who don't know what DACA is, it gave 800,000 Illegal Immigrant Children the ability to go to school, get a job, go to college, start a business, and get a drivers license without fearing deportation but were not granted citizenship. They can also not have a criminal record. Glad Republicans are going against Trump on this issue!! GGD Presidential Elections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
