Reports that House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) is planning to sneak amnesty for DACA "Dreamers" into a year-end spending bill is being shouted down by numerous Republican lawmakers in both the House and Senate.

Sen. Tom Cotton was one of the first Republicans to warn Ryan against slipping a provision into the spending bill that would grant amnesty to 800,000 illegal aliens shielded from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

"Not just House conservatives: Senate opposes "DACA fix" in massive year-end spending bill. Plenty of time in 2018," Cotton tweeted Thursday.

Ryan has been pushing amnesty for months, saying it's a more "humane solution" than Trump's decision to scrap the program, despite the fact that DACA has been criticized by his own party as an example of executive overreach.
