Sen Thom Tillis: “You’re a part of the problem…you’re demonizing President Trump…you cause people to go into their corners and get nothing done.” Senior Fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “May I respond?” Sen Peter Welch: “Uh, no.”
Democrats are using their final days in the majority to probe President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportations plan. Republicans say it’s time to take a more aggressive approach. “American people elected a new President, in large part to secure the border and deport people who came illegally under their predecessor,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said he is “part of a group of people here who … believes there should be a path for Dreamers,” but that advocates such as Reichlin-Melnick were personally responsible for the failure of Congress to enact protections.
“You cause people to go into their corners and get nothing done,” Tillis said. “That is why Chair Durbin has not been able to fulfill the promise on Dreamers every single year he’s tried for the last 20 because people like you make it impossible to have a — let me finish, and then I’ll let you speak, as long as the chair wants to — have a rational discussion about it, because if we don’t secure the border, I can’t get a path to citizenship for the DACA population.”
Tillis and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas.) say the American people want to see the government do something about the issue.
