Washington, D.C. (January 23, 2019) [From Mark Krikorian in National Review Online]– The immigration proposal the president announced Saturday was a responsible compromise to end the partial government shutdown. The border-security part of the package (which includes more than walls) is one that could easily have been offered by Obama or Clinton, back before Democrats decided that borders are immoral.

And his offer to trade this for what amounts to an extension of the expiration dates for a total of about 1 million DACA and TPS illegal aliens with ostensibly temporary work permits is not what many immigration hawks had feared — a new, from-scratch amnesty encompassing illegal aliens who had not already been granted work permits under prior administrations. Both programs should be abolished, of course, but enabling already-amnestied illegals to keep their work permits a little longer as a sweetener for Democrats isn’t unreasonable, despite the objections of many of my fellow immigration hawks.
But one thing the critics are right about is that with this as the starting point, the bill will likely move to the left. As the editors have noted, “we fear any prospective deal only gets weaker from here.” In other words, when the Democrats filibuster the measure, which is expected to come up for a vote in the Senate Thursday, will congressional Republicans and White House start giving even more ground?
It seems likely. Already this morning Axios is reporting that “[a] new immigration idea has been circulating over the past 24 hours at senior levels inside the White House and on Capitol Hill: Give a path to green cards to the 700,000 current DACA recipients.”
Another way the bill could get weaker would be to strip out the limited measures it includes to address the asylum crisis (which have already elicited howls of protest from the libertarian/leftist front). The bill would do little to address the larger “catch and release” practice dictated by other legal loopholes (other than some increased funding for detention).
My guess is Republicans could hold together in backing the deal in its current form — though even that’s iffy, given that Numbers USA has announced it will score the vote for its grade cards. But if the amnesty component grows, the bill would have little chance.

Report: Kushner, GOP
Senators Suggest Giving
Green Cards to DACA Illegals
White House adviser Jared Kushner and a handful of Republican senators are suggesting President Trump offer Democrats a deal to give amnesty in the form of green cards to more than half-a-million illegal aliens to secure funding for a border wall.
Sources tell
Axios‘ Jonathan Swan that Kushner and Republican Senators like Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) are touting a plan that would give green cards — and thus a quick path to U.S. citizenship — to about 700,000 illegal aliens enrolled in the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Swan reports:
Republican senators, including James Lankford of Oklahoma, have advocated for this idea. And Jared Kushner has relayed the idea to his colleagues in the White House as a possible way to break the congressional deadlock. [Emphasis added]
Currently, the Trump administration has endorsed a Senate GOP budget deal that puts restrictions on the $5.7 billion in border wall funding, only allowing the president to construct bollard-style fencing at the U.S.-Mexico border which both Presidents Bush and Obama used.
That plan hitches amnesty in the form of three-year work permits to about a million DACA illegal aliens and foreign nationals in the country on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) who would be shielded from deportation.
Giving a pathway to U.S. citizenship to DACA-enrolled illegal aliens, though, is already being met with skepticism from Republican lawmakers who tell Axios‘ Swan that Trump’s coalition of voters “fall over on the right.”
“If you start putting citizenship on the table in any meaningful way, Democrats will have to give more, and they’re not ready to give more,” a Republican Senator anonymously told Swan.
Trump’s base and pro-American immigration reformers have warned the administration to steer clear of any amnesty deals which they say is “detrimental” to the nation because such a plan would codify Obama’s DACA program into law, drive up illegal immigration, implement a never-ending flow of foreign relatives to DACA illegal aliens arriving in the U.S., and further suppress American workers’ wages by flooding the labor market with additional foreign workers.
In the 2016 presidential election, Trump campaigned strictly against amnesty for illegal aliens, committing to voters that such a plan would not be considered until “illegal immigration is a memory of the past.”
The Senate is expected to vote this week on dueling legislation to reopen the federal government, though Capitol Hill watchers say neither bills have enough support to pass.

THE DEM CONSPIRACY HITS SAN DIEGO
Let’s briefly review the sordid history of DACA. DACA was a program concocted by the Obama administration to overcome the failure of Congress to pass a massive amnesty program known as Comprehensive Immigration Reform and the follow-up attempt to pass a massive amnesty program known as “The DREAM Act.” By Michael Cutler

The concept behind the DREAM Act and DACA was to exploit the well-known empathy and compassion Americans have for children. Both of those efforts were sold as means of helping children who were brought to the United States by their parents. By Michael Cutler

A study by Tom Wong of the University of California at San Diego discovered that more than 25 percent of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens in the program have anchor babies. That totals about 200,000 anchor babies who are the children of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens. This does not include the anchor babies of DACA-qualified illegal aliens. JOHN BINDER
