Reuters: "Bipartisan" bill provides money to "possibly even construct segments of his long-promised border wall with Mexico." Possibly even? So not even the wall is certain. https://t.co/A8h24HrRMG

If the bill really does what Powerline *& Breitbart think it does-huge de facto amnesty of 11M, not just Dreamers-incredibly sneaky that the "bipartisan" group snuck it in there–and incredible that MSM didn't report it. https://t.co/k3L6pcKhEq

Imagine the rush for the border if everyone outside the country is told that if the get in before June 30th they are home free–ie ICE must leave them alone. Trump falls for this he should be impeached. https://t.co/a30Xs7avCW

Here is a list of GOP senators https://t.co/mrV8HcjoWm You can spot the weak links! GOPs already sponsoring the giant defacto amnesty are Collins, Rounds, Graham, Flake, Murkowski, Gardner, Alexander & Isakson. (Really, Isakson? He should get calls too) https://t.co/8ifqXFrFaR

They only need two more Republicans to pass it, if all Dems vote for it (and McCain makes dramatic vote). Every GOP Senator needs to know they will be primaried for life for a vote on amnesty bill that may never become law. 202 224 3121 https://t.co/a30Xs7avCW

ALARM: Powerline agrees the "bipartisan" bill is a) fatally weak b) dangerously close to passing. It even tries to tell ICE not to deport illegals who came after June 30, 2018, four months from now! Talk about de facto amnesty. Senate switchboard>202 224 3121 https://t.co/yRXbj9bH8K

GET DIALING FINGERS READY: Looks like tomorrow will be crucial (possibly riveting) day of votes on DACA plans. Obviously important to push against weak Schumer…I mean "bipartisan" plan. (Big amnesty, bogus "chain," no E-Verify). Switchboard is 202 224 3121. https://t.co/t2sszTbrxH

1) Pew's been wrong before-initially denied illegals were returning to home country in 2000s. 2) Note how drops in illegal population follow when an amnesty attempt fails (2007, 2010, 2013). Wacky coincidence! https://t.co/9kZqA74NZo
