Lindsay Graham has done some good things in the era of Trump, but, this is not one of them. He’s still on the amnesty bandwagon
(Washington Post) Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) reintroduced long-stalled legislation Tuesday to create a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children.
The legal status of “dreamers,†as those immigrants are commonly known, has been a major flash point in the immigration policy debate since President Trump rolled back an Obama-era protection from deportation. He was later blocked by a federal appeals court, but dreamers still live with uncertainty. (snip)
“This is a matter of simple American fairness and justice,†Durbin said in a statement.
The Dream Act would allow young adults to stay in the United States if they came to the country as children, graduated high school or obtained a GED, and pursued college, military service or at least three years of employment.
More than 2 million people could be eligible.
In reality, it would end up with more than 2 million, and it would allow those who illegally brought the kids to stay. It also applies to people who are in Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced Departure status to stay, and will have few enforcement and border control methods included. It rewards illegal behavior and entices people to do this in the future.
