Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Texas, who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee, told Fox News Sunday that Republicans were considering a compromise with the Obama administration that would reinstate bipartisan talks and possibly a bill that would establish true comprehensive immigration reform this year.
The compromise will not only authorize the release of President Obama’s $3.7 Billion emergency spending request to Congress to stem the flow of children across the southwest U.S. border but permanently fix the broken immigration system of the United States.
“We are prepared to give in to all of Obama’s proposed immigration policies, including the granting of amnesty to the estimated 11 Million undocumented immigrants currently living in the country in exchange for a no-nonsense border security plan,” McCaul said.
When asked by The Adobo Chronicles what one major compromise the Republicans were seeking, McCaul said, “Very simple: close all existing gaps in the U.S.-Mexico borders in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. But in addition, we would like to construct steel fences in the waters on either side of the U.S. territory, in the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.”
In an analysis of the Republican proposal, it was determined that the proposed steel fences will be built at 12 nautical miles around the state of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean and 12 nautical miles around all eastern states that look out into the Atlantic Ocean.
The Obama administration is currently reviewing the Republican proposal and is expected to issue a statement in the next couple of days.
Will this finally put at end to the immigration impasse?
