The Frankish Reich Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Here's a summary of what we know about the Senate compromise. Note the comment from Sen Lankford (R-OK), not exactly a bleeding heart: The proposal crafted by the Senate would toughen the asylum process with a goal of cutting the number of migrants who come to the southern border to make an asylum claim. Negotiators have worked on some policies intended to aid immigrants. The plan could include a pathway to citizenship for Afghans who came during the U.S. withdrawal from their country, along with work permits for migrants who enter the asylum system, according to two people familiar with the talks who were granted anonymity to discuss the private negotiations. But the package will mostly leave out broad immigration changes, like protections for immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally as children, that have been foundational in previous Senate bills. "It will be by far the most conservative border security bill in four decades," said Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, the lead GOP negotiator.

So let's take some time to read it, propose amendments, etc. But Trump is urging House Republicans to vote "no" unless it is an immigration restrictionist's wet dream. And in divided government, you'll never get that. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

PetermansRedemption Posted January 25 Posted January 25 (edited) Does anyone actually believe it’s the Democrats who want border security? Their actions of fighting Republican proposals AND tying the border to aid in Ukraine speaks contrary to a “fix the border” message. Couldn’t they simply decide to have a separate border deal and put some hard line proposals out there? Republicans would pass it immediately and then the problem is solved. Democrats could even take the credit and that would be a great political move considering how highly immigration ranks on voters minds. They could take the spear right out of the republican party’s hands. Edited January 25 by PetermansRedemption
