GOP outreach program continues: The Wall Street Journal editorial page excoriated Republicans on Saturday for positioning themselves as the party of maximum deportations.: House Republicans late Friday night had succeeded in passing two immigration bills -- one measure that would strip protections from the young undocumented immigrants known as Dreamers and a funding bill meant to address the influx of 57,500 unaccompanied minors who have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. Republican leaders pulled a previous funding bill on Thursday, the last scheduled day before the Houses August recess, due to objections from conservatives that it didnt go far enough.
