Trump’s Border Wall, Deportation Plans Face Pushback From GOP

Donald Trump’s pledges to deport undocumented immigrants and build a U.S.-Mexico border wall helped fuel Republicans’ surprising election victories, but they now face growing challenges from fellow party members.

Three Republican senators are working with Democrats to shield about 750,000 young undocumented immigrants from deportation if Trump cancels a 2012 order from President Barack Obama that let them stay in the U.S.

Lawmakers want to “ensure that children who were brought here by their parents, through no fault of their own, are able to stay and finish their education and continue to contribute to society,” said Republican Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona. Republicans Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska are joining him on a measure drafted by the No. 2 Democratic leader, Dick Durbin of Illinois, that will be introduced after the new Congress convenes Jan. 3.

This is a good thing actually because these people were never going to vote for any restriction on any sort of illegal or lawful immigration.

It's also coming from 3 of the "less bright" Senators.

I wonder if newly re-elected Rubio or McCain will oppose this bill for disingenuous reasons when they want to switch the conversation to Putin being the devil & "true rightwingers should oppose Putin" type BS.

Be interesting if the Club For Growth, FreedomWorks defends Flake against Kelli Ward. As I understand his Conservative rating is 40 or 50% but they might give him credit for those duplicate spending lists him & former Senator Coburn worship.
