Bipartisan DACA, border security deal fails in Senate, putting immigration bill's future in doubt
https:// www.cnn.com/2018/02/15/politics/trump-immigration-veto/index.html
>In a resounding defeat after months of negotiations, senators on Thursday failed to advance a bipartisan proposal to resolve the future of millions of young undocumented immigrants, leaving talks seemingly back at square one.
>A much-anticipated bipartisan deal that would have paired a pathway to citizenship for nearly 2 million undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children with $25 billion in border security and some other measures failed to get the 60 votes necessary to advance legislation after furious White House opposition.
The vote was 54-45.
>A competing White House-backed plan that would have also substantially increased federal deportation powers, heavily cut family-based legal migration and ended the diversity visa also failed, 39-60.
>The episode, coming at the end of a much-anticipated Senate week of debate on immigration, revealed that the White House was able to kill momentum for a deal that had emerged out of weeks of talks by roughly 20 bipartisan senators – but that it also had no ability to enact any legislation to achieve its stated goal of protecting the recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which President Donald Trump is ending, and increasing border security measures along with it.
>Trump called the bipartisan bill "a total catastrophe," tweeting that "Voting for this amendment would be a vote AGAINST law enforcement, and a vote FOR open borders."
Attorney General Jeff Sessions also derided the legislation, saying it "will invite a mad rush of illegality across our borders," and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen made calls to lawmakers urging them to reject the bill.
Bye bye beans
>>118775Excellent. Most of these DACA bastards are anti-American communists. Last thing we need is for them to be legal, voting Dems, and encouraging others to hop the fence.
>>118775Can't say I'm surprised, nor am I disappointed.
Let these "Dreamers" dream a better dream…outside of our beautiful nation. We have no need nor want of them.
There's only 17 days until March 5th!
>>118794It’s like Christmas, but the whole nation gets a gift!
>>118799We'll free you from your mudslime oppression soon enough, Australia.
>>118775>leaving talks seemingly back at square one.this is our narrative for argument, we should be blackpilling the left. After 5 and a half months their representatives have gotten no where on the issue because they're useless why wwould a leftist even bother to vote in 2018?
>>118945Black pilling, concern trolling, and demoralization are the most effective tactics against the left right now. Shitlibs are losing their shit right now and it is fun to give these people a taste of their own medicine.
>>118966then we should organize and go on the offensive
>>119053Where should we go on the offensive? I don't think we have the numbers to go after Twitter and Tumblr yet.
>>119063I mean we could start a campaign with other boards on other sites, but we need to go after the left
