Rep. Dave Brat spoke to Breitbart about the
immigration issues ahead of us in 2018. Brat (R-VA) is the one who beat
Eric Cantor, then the House Majority Leader, in the primary – and his upset victory put the amnesty bill on hold. But amnesty is the creature that wouldn't die.
Brat
discussed Congress’s considerations to codify the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
policy into federal law.
Congress must prioritize four repairs for the immigration
system before contemplating any DACA-style amnesty negotiation, said Brat: 1.
Ending chain migration and the visa lottery; 2. Mandating employer use of E-Verify;
3. Construction of a southern border wall; and 4. Interior enforcement of
immigration law.
The four aforementioned “permanent fixes” must precede any DACA
negotiation regarding amnesty for illegal immigrants, said Brat: “It shouldn’t
be about trusting or hoping, the permanent part has to come first, you see in
that place and then you negotiate later.”
The rest of the report is here.
