Trump administration ending DACA program, which protected 800,000 children of immigrants by Jacob Pramuk | @jacobpramuk.
From the post:
- President Trump is ending DACA, the Obama-era program that protects hundreds of thousands of “dreamers.”
- Attorney General Jeff Sessions says there will be a six-month delay in terminating it to give Congress time to act.
- Sessions says the immigration program was an unlawful overreach by Obama that cannot be defended.
Check out Pramuk’s post if you are interested in Attorney General Sessions’ “reasoning” on this issue. I refuse to repeat it from fear of making anyone who reads it dumber.
Numerous groups have whipped out their begging bowls and more are on the way. All promising opposition, not success, but opposition to ending Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
Every group has its own expenses, lobbyists, etc., before any of your money goes to persuading Congress to save all 800,000 children of immigrants protected by the DACA.
Why not create:
- low-over head fund
- separate funds for house and senate
- divided and contributed to the campaigns* of all representatives and senators who vote for replacement to DACA within 180 days
- where replacement for DACA protects everyone now protected
- and where replacement DACA becomes law (may have to override veto)
*The contribution to a campaign, as opposed to the senator or representative themselves, is important as it avoids the contributions being a “gratuity” for passage of the legislation, which is illegal. 2041. Bribery Of Public Officials.
Such funds would avoid the overhead of ongoing organizations and enable donors to see the results of their donations more directly.
I’m not qualified to setup such funds but would contribute to both.
You?
PS: You do the math. If some wealthy donor contributed 6 $million to the Senate fund, then sixty (60) senatorial campaigns would each get $600,000 in cash. Nothing to sneeze at.
