Jared Kushner Helped Top Democratic Senator Lobby WH For DACA Amnesty

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law set up a secret back channel to help a top Democratic Senator lobby White House officials in favor of the “DACA” amnesty for 800,000 young illegals.

Sen. Dick Durbin, the second-ranking Democratic Senator, spilled the beans in an interviewwith Reuters, where he described how he worked with Jared Kushner and liberal Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham to promote the DACA amnesty in April and July.

According to Reuters’s account, which describes the illegals as “Dreamers”:

“We initially had a conversation (with Kushner), at [Iowa Republican] Senator (Chuck) Grassley’s invitation, on criminal justice and I asked Mr. Kushner afterwards if we could talk about immigration, separate and apart from Senator Grassley, which we did,” Durbin said.

“I went into … DACA because I was concerned about how this was going to unfold,” the Illinois lawmaker said. The conversations underscore a level of interest in the issue among senior White House aides that could lend momentum to the congressional debate on approving a permanent legislative fix for the Dreamers that Durbin has sought for the past 16 years

Kushner has proven over and over he is not for the Trump agenda and needs to go. He is always in the shadows. I wonder is he another operative for the "shadow government", because he is not a conservative and always working against conservative ideas. Too much family in the WH working against the voters.

The simple solution to DACA is:

1)Allow all DACA kids to stay in USA as long as they do not commit/ found guilty of a felony OR commit/found guilty of a felony which is reduced to a misdemeanor or plea agreement.

2)Grant a path to citizenship for them with the understanding it can be revoked if they violate rule #1.

3)#1 & #2 will go into effect AFTER the Southern Wall in FULLY completed.

DACA was nothing more than a sneaky way for obama to let ALL illegals stay in America. If they let the kids stay, then you know damn well they are going to say the PARENTS of the kids have to stay too, so they will not separate a family. This was not for kids only. It was for ALL illegals. Plus, how do they prove that they were brought here by their parents? They could have come here alone yesterday and claimed that. After all they DO NOT have documents. Are they supposed to have a card to prove their parents brought them here? DACA will only cause MORE illegals to come so they can claim their parents brought them here. That way they could stay here. It does not work and will not work.

11:39, the path to citizenship starts in their home country. Why should they have a right to butt in line ahead of those who came here LEGALLY? Plus how do they prove they are DACA kids. They could have come across the border yesterday alone and then claim their parents brought them. They have NO documents? Remember. There is no way to prove their parents brought them here. Think first then post.
