The right is standing firm on reforming immigration, ending chain migration

By Debbie Lord for The Atlanta Journal Constitution
Jan 19, 2018

No, a solution on DACA is not going to be part of a bill to keep the government running. Why would it?

Opinions from the right:

1. Shut it down

From Townhall: Why is the left willing to hurt American citizens by shutting down the government in favor of the issues of non-citizens?

2. Any DACA deal must end chain migration

From Sens. Tom Cotton, (R-Ark.), David Perdue, (R-Ga.), and Chuck Grassley, (R-Iowa): A bad immigration bill that doesn’t address chain migration would do more harm than good.

3. Trump should stand his ground on immigration

From columnist Andy Schlafly: The Securing America’s Future Act is one both parties should be able to get behind.
