Oh, so you are saying this is an anchor-child bill.

Yeah, it's still some sticky politics. Not going to be very good camera ops to see whole families being put on busses back to Mexico.

Seal the border first. Start taxing wires back second. Then see where we are at.

How so? The children are with their parents, no?

They are here illegally to begin with, frankly I think they should be deported regardless. Here's a tip, if you are already breaking one law it's probably not a good idea to bring attention to yourself by breaking other laws.

IF such a bill had a ghost of a chance of passing the House & Senate -- THEN Obama would not have written an "Executive Memo" in the first place. This is going nowhere and both Graham & Durbin know it.
Add to that - both of these men are Attorneys. I would expect that they are aware that DACA/DAPA has a Court Order against the program and that they must be aware that the Supreme Court kicked the case back down to the Texas Court that issued the injunction against DACA/DAPA.
TeamObama lost this case in June 2016.

United States v. Texas |ScotusBlog - June 23, 2016

Just more propaganda from the #NeverTrump Losers.

Lol... so why even bother w/ that "no run-ins" nonsense. You obviously don't believe that. Just come out and say "deport them all." Be honest w/ yourself and stop trying to seem like you're open to some middle-ground in this discussion. What's next... "Let's not deport good students, and by good, I mean 99% on the SAT."

It should be noted they ran TV adverts here in NC, where Lindsay Graham supported Hillary Clinton.

Too bad he won't be up for election until 4 more years.

We need tough laws so this is not repeated. What does this say to all the legal immigrants who came here lawfully?

It doesn't apply to Americans which is the definition of anchor-child. I do agree that taxing remittances would be a good thing. If the entire family came here illegally it is only just and fair all of them are removed. If blame is to be assigned it is directly at the adults doing the deed.

IMO the bad camera op is the one of them sneaking across the border to begin with.
