8. Might this be framed better?

It might be framed better if the administration said it was taking a few of the essential parts from the bi-partisan Senate bill and using them as a temporary guideline until the House reaches a compromise with the Senate.

Individual, unauthorized, immigrants, who are part of a class likely to get normalized, shouldn't get singled out for deportation. If Republicans in the House intend to insist on deporting everyone then they should speak up loudly, and specifically, now.
