They were rejected by the WH and over the years by the GOP. It was among several reasons Boehner resigned and the worst speaker in my lifetime. imo, got into the office

I hope that Congress knows to cut funding with the next budget.

It is a problem and needs to be resolved. Offers on the table rejected because you know keep the base motivated. If you settle it takes it off the table as a campaign and fund raising issue

"I hope that Congress knows to cut funding with the next budget." That should be true of almost every program in the federal budget. but it will never happen, not now and probably not ever.

Here are the elements of the proposal as described to reporters:

Securing the border: Finishing the border wall

Protecting American wages: Stemming the flow of low-wage labor

Attract and retain the best and brightest immigrants

Prioritize nuclear families: It would limit which family members can come to the country to children and spouses

Import labor for critical industries

Preserve humanitarian values: Keep asylum system, but limit it.

The American Farm Bureau Federation notes that “50-70 percent of farm laborers in the country today are unauthorized.” Why so many? Because “few U.S. workers are willing to fill available farm labor jobs.” It’s not possible, then, simply to replace this workforce with American citizens. The only question is whether foreign-born workers will produce our food here in the U.S. or in other countries for us to import.

There’s a three-step solution: First, ensure a viable guest-worker program for the effective inflow of farmworkers. They’re often called low-skilled, but many are highly skilled for specific and essential jobs.

Second, workers who are otherwise in good legal standing should have the opportunity to earn legal status. That would provide safety for them, and much-needed stability for their employers.

Third, pass laws that enable a system of legal workers and secure borders. This will ensure we’re not back at this same place 30 years from now.

Our take:“Imposing tariffs on goods from Mexico is exactly the wrong move. These tariffs will be paid by American families and businesses without doing a thing to solve the very real problems at the border. Instead, Congress and the president need to work together to address the serious problems at the border.” – Neil Bradley, U.S. Chamber Executive Vice President and Chief Policy Officer

First most illegals are smuggled across not walking across and going through check points.

The middle class and wages have been harmed by mostly republican policies and multinationals like Walmart. Wrong/ TAATS applies

Stemming the flow of low cost labor?? Please. We need people to work at those wages because no one will do them otherwise. Like last year Complete BS. Offspring washes dishes in a restaurants. You would sit with me, 6foot, Dmac, old salt etc if you were getting paid $5k an hour. It's NOT the jobs.....its the PAY. typical pretend liberal answer tho, good job

Attract and retain the best and brightest immigrants. How is that defined? How are they identified?

Let me share my story.

A kid’s family loses its family income when their business is closed down by Mexican authorities because fuel tanks are leaking and polluting the ground.Am I the only one that notices you gloos over someone that pollutes the ground water, endangering so many humans and nature? Sounds like a CONservative/GOP business owner to me The son hops the fence at the border to pick vegetables in the Imperial Valley. He meets a girl, learns English and goes to a community college. He then goes to Berkeley and graduates. Then to Harvard Medical School where he gives the commencement speech. He becomes a brain surgeon. Did he take out loans? Get a scholarship? He arrives at Hopkins where shortly after he meets my step son who is admitted after having a seizure. There he is diagnosed with a malignant brain tumors. Over the next four years he performs three craniotomies and becomes a very close family friend. For most of that time my stepson runs marathons, graduates from law school and raises money fir brain cancer research. He writes the textbook for brain surgery. He moves to the Mayo Clinic where he becomes head of neurosurgery and research. He has a lot of people reporting to him. He starts Mission Brain. He goes to third world country to teach and perform, with his team, surgeries for people who would never get them without him.

Yup, awesome story. Myself, and others, can tell similar ones. For folks from the deplorable areas of the US. Or inner cities. (Ben Carson ! ) Real smart children living a close to Hopkins that can't even afford to attend community college.

He never gets in this country because he would not meet the definition of best but I am betting none that do will accomplish half the good he has. He is known as Dr Q or Alfredo to his friends. He has been featured on tv, received more awards than I can name here. He is married to the girl he met all those years ago and has great kids. He has done more good than any of those grifters
