The Republican Party donned their sheets and hoods for the official unveiling of the Republican No Dream Plan.  It begins with offering a path to citizenship for 1.8 million Dreamers that is too vague and too far in the future to be realistic.  That’s the best part.  Next, Republicans set their crosses afire.<\/font><\/p>\n

It looks like the official White House \u201cimmigration deal\u201d<\/a><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font> is to allow Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients to stay in the U.S. in exchange for Stephen Miller\u2019s white supremacist wishlist:<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The White House presented Congress Thursday with an immigration reform plan that would satisfy a key Democratic demand\u2014offering a path to citizenship for 1.8 million undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children\u2014in exchange for dramatic restrictions on immigration going forward and a $25 billion fund for border security.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In a call with Republican Hill staffers Thursday afternoon, a senior White House official outlined a one-page framework. The official called the new proposal \u201ca compromise position that we believe\u2026 will get 60 votes in the Senate\u201d and \u201ca framework that ultimately will lead to passage of a law.\u201d<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The official told Republican staffers that the White House proposal would establish a $25 billion trust fund for a border defense system, including a wall along the Mexican border\u2014a key campaign promise made by President Donald Trump that he has repeatedly indicated must be included in a final deal. That money would also go toward technology and security at the Canadian border.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The framework also eliminates the visa lottery and curbs U.S. migration by extended families, a fundamental change to existing immigration policy. New citizens would be able to sponsor their immediate families\u2014spouses and children\u2014to legally enter the country, but other relatives would be excluded.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The White House\u2019s demands\u2014let\u2019s be honest, Miller\u2019s demands\u2014take a sledgehammer to American values. Not to mention, wasn\u2019t Mexico supposed to pay for that wall? \u201cDead on arrival,\u201d <\/font><\/font><\/span>tweeted United We Dream.<\/a><\/font><\/span><\/font> \u201cWe reject a plan that would terrorize, detain and deport the rest of the immigrant community, specially those in the border.\u201d…<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
