It’s one reason why media inquisition agents keep pushing that question on GOP candidates.
and even after getting elected, GOPs need to read the audience (their constituents) regarding bills they try to push. When a population is not amenable to the most extreme implementation (or even the next dozen proposals down the list of extreme-ness), it’s a fool’s errand to insist on the extreme nonetheless. In fact, it often pushes people in the opposite direction, as we saw in Kansas and other places.
And I’m saying this as arguably one of the more pro-life members on this board.
trump tried to end DACA via an executive memo. case went to SCOTUS. they ordered 5-4 to vacate the end DACA memo on June 18, 2020. dont you remember the hoo ha in the forum that day?
“Late last month, the administration released a framework for legislation to normalize the immigration status of people who are unlawfully in the U.S. and who had entered the country as children. The administration’s framework would strengthen border security, provide legal status for DACA recipients and people eligible for DACA who did not apply, eliminate the diversity visa program, and limit family-sponsored immigration to spouses and minor children of citizens and green card holders. Several Republican Senators, including Senators Chuck Grassley, Tom Cotton, James Lankford, John Cornyn, Thom Tillis, David Perdue, and Joni Ernst have incorporated the administration’s framework into an amendment to the immigration bill that they expect to introduce this week.”
