Massive, must-pass spending bill could include a DACA amnesty -- Urgent phone calls needed!
Dear friends,
Congress could release text of the must-pass, omnibus spending bill as early as this evening, and some in Congress, including Pres. Trump, have expressed interest in including a DACA amnesty in the bill.
We need your urgent phone calls to GOP Leaders in the Senate TODAY, telling them not to include a DACA amnesty in the spending bill!
Last week, we told you that Pres. Trump and the White House were telling Congressional Leaders that they were open to a 3-year DACA amnesty in exchange for border funding in the spending bill.
At first, Republican Leaders pushed back against the idea, but on Friday, we learned that they were considering it. We asked you to call the House GOP Leadership team on Friday, and now we're asking that you call the Senate GOP Leadership team to urge them not to include a DACA amnesty in the spending bill.
Here are the numbers for GOP Senate Leadership team:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell -- (202) 224-3135
Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn -- (202) 224-2708
Senate GOP Conference Chair John Thune -- (202) 224-2764
Please call each of the Leadership offices listed above. When the staffer answers, you can use the following talking point:
I oppose any attempt to include a DACA amnesty in the upcoming omnibus spending bill!
Pres. Trump has said previously that any DACA amnesty must end chain migration and the visa lottery and that pairing it with border security alone was not enough. Trading a DACA amnesty for border funding would break this promise!
Thank you,
