The Senate defeated a GOP proposal based on President Donald Trump’s immigration framework.
The plan would have offered a path to citizenship for “Dreamers” and increased border security while also cutting legal immigration.
The vote was 39-60, with 60 votes needed for approval.
I say GOOD. It was fraught with loopholes and the actual number of illegals in question remained unknown.
Meanwhile, there is more going on with the whole sanctuary city thing. Hold on, you wont like this.
In 2017, State Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra on Wednesday filed a brief in support of a Santa Clara County lawsuit challenging President Trump’s executive order targeting “sanctuary” cities that refuse to help federal authorities enforce immigration laws.
The amicus brief cites Trump’s threat to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities and counties as well as the state’s interest in protecting state laws and policies that promote public safety and protect the constitutional rights of residents, Becerra said.
*** It gets worse… to read how the brief is cherry-picked on facts, go here.
So, there is a pile of companies that have filed an amicus brief against the Trump administration position on sanctuary cities.
