Lindsey Graham to lead group of senators to White House for immigration talks

[Warlord]

EXCLUSIVE: Top Republican senators, led by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., plan to meet Thursday at the White House with President Trump to discuss possible immigration measures in case the Supreme Court strikes down an Obama-era ruling shielding illegal immigrants from deportation, Fox News has learned -- a push likely to revive concerns among Trump’s base of an election-year “amnesty” push.

The lawmakers are set to meet, at the invitation of the White House, with Trump around noon to discuss what would happen should the top court strike down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive order, a source familiar with the negotiations said. A decision on DACA is expected in June. The Republicans are said to include Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas; Kevin Cramer, R-N.D.; Tom Cotton, R-Ark.; Martha McSally, R-Ariz.; Mike Lee, R-Utah; Ron Johnson, R-Wis.; Thom Tillis, R-N.C. and David Perdue, R-Ga.

Graham, on Thursday morning, told Fox News that the meeting was going ahead and it was related to the coming DACA ruling.

"Just to see, you know, where we are in terms of the DACA Supreme Court case, [there's a] pretty good chance that the president will win, being able to set aside the Obama-era DACA regulations and what's the play after that," he said.

The source told Fox News that a comprehensive immigration reform deal was to be discussed, but a Graham spokesman pushed back, saying that the meeting is to discuss DACA, and comprehensive immigration reform was just one of a broad range of topics that could potentially be discussed.

A spokesman for Lee confirmed to Fox News that the senator had been invited to the White House to talk immigration, but that he hadn't heard anything about a deal for Dreamers. The offices of Sens. Johnson and Cramer also confirmed their attendance at the meeting.

Trump vowed during his 2016 campaign to end DACA but has also said he is open to a broader bill that would allow those affected -- young migrants dubbed “Dreamers” who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children -- to stay as part of broader immigration plan that sees funding for border security in exchange for a "pathway to citizenship" as well as expansion of visas and green cards. Even as Republicans fight DACA in court, there is some bipartisan appetite for finding a legislative way to protect Dreamers, considering that in many cases the decision to illegally enter the U.S. was not their own.

An eventual, if elusive, immigration pact, particularly one that succeeds by picking up Democratic support, could essentially boost the president’s image among moderates as a “deal-maker” who can get things done where others have failed. Yet, it is risky and likely to fuel further concern among immigration hawks in Trump’s base.

No mention of the right to contract/negotiate work/wage between employer/employee without government intervention, no need for eVerify and the right to travel freely, save the tax payers billions upon billions by not needing a wall and preserving property rights if we cease all incentives.

What you will hear is, the fed.gov must spend whatever and any amount necessary, including hiring more governmental offices and employees, so that immigrants do not soak your pockets. To secure freedom and liberty, we must restrict freedom and liberty. The government knows no other way.

Graham’s new Gang of Eight. Sorry Mark Ruby, you are tainted, and too obvious this time around.

Anyone fooled by Graham is a fool. Once a neocon RINO globalist, always a neocon RINO globalist.
