No amnesty, no DACA....
Jeb Bush, or any of the other 15 candidates for the nomination would have backed down and said, “OK Dems, anything you want”.
Not Trump. This man fights.
“Trump is making the Democrats pay a heavy price for DACA”
lie.
it’s the tax payers and everyday USofA citizens being harmed, negatively effected and paying the heaviest prices.
If DACA or anything like it is included in any bill and is signed by Trump, then Trump and the Republican Party will lose all subsequent elections, regardless of anything else he or they might have done or may do from that point forward. Just like in Alabama with the Moore fiasco, the multitudes that made Trump’s election possible will never show up to vote again. Trump had better consider this and act accordingly.
DACA MUST BE ELIMINATED. This has always been a DemocRAT strategy to continue to modify the voting demographic in the USA. California is a good example of the impact of flooding the USA with illegals and other foreigners...all for POWER AND CONTROL.
Only agree to terms after the wall is built, not just funded, but actually built.
We had a 2007 fence act and it got defunded.
Lucy always pulls the football away.
i wonder what a shutdown will look like under Trump. My imagination is that it might be somewhat different. Can volunteers come into NPs and help out during a shutdown? What happens if 40-70% of the original fed NP workforce shows up for work, even during the shutdown? legal considerations? (liability issues?)
It is a good thing we finally have someone representing US, the citizens.
Every President since the last amnesty has refused to enforce the laws to further a bipartisan policy of flooding the country with foreigners.
The Democrats think the so called Illegal Dreamers are more important than Government Workers?
The POTUS should just tell the Rats that if they shut down the Government those same Workers will not be paid for their time off retroactively as in the past.
They will have to use up their paid Vacation days or not be paid at all since they won’t be working “for the people”.
He just threw another chip on the table by canceling the funding for the NY/NJ tunnels and bridges projects.
If demonrats were smart, they would make the deal for amnesty for 800k illegals. Amnesty would sink Trump’s ship.
It seems to me that perhaps a “qualified” amnesty could be put into place. Certainly, no voting for 25 years, no entitlements, payback all costs incurred to this point in time, formal apology to the US for their illegal acts, no this, no that.., but they can stay here. Bed them down along the new border wall. :-)
This sounds a lot like the moderate posts on FR, including my own posts. I would prefer to deport every illegal and every refugee - no exceptions. However, if we can get a permanent end to chain migration (which President Trump has been keeping inn the news recently) and if we can get an end to the visa lottery, and if we can get funding to build the Wall, it’s probably worthwhile.
If the deal is temporary DACA residency with no path to citizenship, contingent on the Wall being funded and built, that’s a good deal for America. I’m even okay with permanent legal status for those DACA criminals, once the Wall is built and the rest of the illegals are deported. It’s not perfect, but it’s a whole lot better than any other deal I can imagine McConnell negotiating for us. Until we get that deal though, I’d like to see President Trump accelerate the rate of deportations for all illegals, including DACA.
Beware DACA...It is billed as 800,000 eligible, but I am reading it is more like 3 million eligible right off the bat. And going by past amnesties and rolling protected status for Haitians, Caribbeans, Central Americans etc..... You will see immigration lawyers suing up the yin yang to expand DACA after it is passed. Expand it for those who filed late and all kind of assorted BS stories.
Ronald Reagan’s amnesty rumbled on for at least 12 years after it was signed into law, as immigration lawyers tried and succeeded in getting all kinds of late comers included and amnestied. At least 300,000 got included late. A thousand million sob stories came in a tidal wave.
And today there are hundreds of thousands more immigration lawyers to spin their evil webs.

IF DACA PASSES THEN DEMOCRATS WILL START PRESSURING TO INCLUDE ALL 3 MILLION “DREAMERS”
This is the second time the mayors have sent the letter to Congress. They first sent it back in October, shortly after the Trump Administration stopped approving applications for Pres. Obama’s unconstitutional DACA executive amnesty. The letter goes beyond asking for an amnesty for the 700,000 DACA recipients, however, and urges Congress to pass an amnesty for all Dreamers. The Migration Policy Institute estimates that an amnesty for all Dreamers would go to roughly 3 million illegal aliens.
