White House Watch: Senate Republicans Try to Play Catch Up with the Trump-Pelosi Amnesty Plan

A trio of Republican senators are hoping to solve the DACA problem, and they have reason to believe President Trump will get on board. The senators, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Orrin Hatch of Utah, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, have introduced the Solution for Undocumented Children through Careers Employment Education and Defending our Nation Act.

That cumbersome title is shortened to SUCCEED, and it’s a slightly more conservative version of the famed DREAM Act, which attempted to provide amnesty for children of illegal immigrants who were brought into the country as minors. Trump, Lankford said in a press conference Monday, was “very supportive” of the ideas behind the SUCCEED Act.
