Oh Chuck. Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. #Resisting isn’t a legislative move.
Schumer really wants his fellow Democrats to #resist one of the GOP’s immigration bills, because *insert liberal generalizations here*
See for yourself.
By all reports, the House “moderate” immigration bill is hardly moderate at all. It would cut legal immigration dramatically and punish #Dreamers.
It’s hard to believe that so-called House Republican moderates could vote for such a party line bill that is doomed to fail.— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) June 18, 2018
Instead of supporting this so-called “moderate” bill, @HouseGOP who want to get something done for Dreamers should stick to their original idea: Protect the Dreamers and work in a bipartisan way to secure the border.

House mods will lose all credibility if they accept this sham of a bill; it's extreme & drastically cuts immigration in ways unacceptable to the Senate & American ppl. It holds #Dreamers &kids separated frm parents hostage to cut legal immigration & enact the hard right’s agenda.

And losing “credibility” with Chuck Schumer is a bad thing why, exactly?
If the House moderates really want to get something done on immigration, they should not be duped by their leadership for a bill that they know isn’t going anywhere.

How about DEMOCRATS try to work with Republicans for once? Not to mention that Democrats had the opportunity– multiple times– to fix the DACA issue and blew it every single time.
Schumer is signaling to oppose the immigration bill which fixes family separation policy. This is where he’s compared to a hostage taker with children right?

The truth? Democrats have no ideas. They haven’t proposed ONE solution to fix all of these problems. Their platform? “Resist.” That’s it. It doesn’t matter what Republicans do. Democrats will #resist it. They don’t want a wall. They don’t want to get a handle on the volume of illegals crossing our border. They’re not interested, because they DON’T see illegal immigration as a problem. They’re closet open borders advocates.
