Jared Kushner Helped Top Democratic Senator Lobby WH For DACA Amnesty
It’s
believable that Senator Durbin has the skinny on Kushner since:
Jared Kushner had been a life-long Democrat, since 1999. According to Open Secrets contributions mostly to Democrats for years. Also gave to the New
Jersey and New York Democratic Party. The New York Observer-endorsed Republican US presidential race
nominee Mitt Romney in 2012;[46][47] then,
reportedly continuing along his "ideological conversion", Kushner
joined his father-in-law Donald Trump's nascent US presidential campaign in
2015.[52] Kushner
has had no prior involvement in campaign politics or in government before his
father-in-law, Trump's, campaign.[53]

Dick Durbin Says He Worked Through Kushner For Months To Get To Trump On DACA
The No. 2 Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin, has been working his White
House contact, fellow liberal
Democrat Jared Kushner, hard, to press President Trump into coming around to
their shared opinion, that illegal aliens should be given citizenship because
they played no active role in their violation of our borders.
They are playing an active role every hour they remain, but the
only part they consider relevant are those they can use to help justify free
citizenships. That one day they crossed the border is it. Provided they haven’t
committed other serious crimes, every other day they have deliberately chosen
to remain here simply don’t matter.
Durbin told Reuters on
Thursday that Kushner was his conduit to President Trump for persuading him, to
the extent he was able to, to come around to the squatter way of looking at
things. Kushner held private meetings on the topic with Durbin and Sen Lindsey
Graham (R-SC) in both April and July.
The Illinois Senator said, “We initially had a conversation (with
Kushner), at Senator Grassley’s invitation, on criminal justice and I asked Mr.
Kushner afterwards if we could talk about immigration, separate and apart from
Senator Grassley, which we did.”
Durbin continued, “I went into … DACA because I was concerned
about how this was going to unfold.” In addition Durbin said there had been
telephone calls between him and Kushner as well as calls and meetings with
then-Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, now chief of staff. They had and
increasingly still have President Trump surrounded with the globalist mindset.
He said that Kushner once invited Stephen Miller to join them in a
DACA meeting. Durbin observed that during the meeting with Miller, “there was nothing in
my conversation with him that suggested” he had moved away from Sessions’ rigid
stance. At least there’s one aide in the White House who still understands who
elected President Trump, what MAGA means and the agenda we were promised. We’ll
see how long he lasts with a McMaster bullseye on his back.
Durbin characterized President Trump’s announcement on DACA as
initially appearing to be a setback “from what I hoped would occur based on his
positive comments on Dreamers and DACA.” He added, “But then, within 12 hours,
“the president was sending messages by tweet and otherwise that were more
encouraging and they continue even until this morning.”
Anything encouraging for Durbin is discouraging for the MAGA
agenda, particularly when it comes to illegal alien amnesty, which both Nancy Pelosi and
Chuck Schumer have indicated is absolutely a part of their legislative package
for December. They’ll milk the current truce for all they can get until then,
having successfully made the border wall a non-issue until then.
