Schumer said the wall is off the table.

So I'd say DACA is off the table.

Is there some way to fully reject and not use the word “dreamer”. This word is the ultimate in propaganda designed to elicit an emotional response. I reject its premise utterly.

“Fair” - to WHOM?

What we think is fair to us will no doubt be seen as unfair to the illegals.

Nope. Whenever you hear the word “fair”, hang onto your wallet.

The president hinted on Jan. 24 that he is open to citizenship for DACA. He said it would be over a 10- to 12-year period, but if he is not still in place as president in 2024, that would be meaningless.

Those who enter our country illegally shouldn't be given government benefits

Democrat judges would reverse that yesterday.

The only fair immigration policy would be one in which no one who crossed the border illegally benefits in any way from that illegal act. There can be no compromise on this core principle unless we want to invite more illegal entry.

Any policy towards illegals must - MUST - address the incentives that are set up by that policy. Are you incentivizing more to try their hand at illegal entry or are you incentivizing them to stay home and apply through the legal process?

With 600 million people south of our porous non-existent southern border and untold millions outside the Americas who might also avail themselves of this easy access, there can be only one immigration policy -

Stop giving prizes

for illegal entry.

Any measure that permits those who entered illegally to benefit from that illegal act is amnesty. And any amnesty will bring millions more invaders.

This must be stopped.

Will you help stop this?

You can help:
Right-click this image and save it. Post it on your Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts. Send a copy to President Trump, your Senators and Reps right now and whenever you communicate with them. When you get fundraising solicitations, include a copy in your reply. Send copies to your friends and family and ask them to do likewise. Spread it everywhere.

Allow the Dreamers a normal path to citizenship after they have provided the names and locations of those who brought them here. Once verified, those people will be deported and permanently banned from the US since they endangered their own children in the commission of a crime. Problem solved.

1) Schumer has one item on the table (DACA) and he cannot walk away without it

2) Trump can put any/everything he wants on the table and he’s willing to walk away with no no deal.

3) Schumer has used the media to intimate Rs for decades. That’s his negotiating strategy and it doesn’t work well against Trump.

4) Trump wrote “The Art of the Deal” and practiced it for decades in the real world where results mater and where the deal is about more than getting reelected.

5) Complaints about Stephen Miller demanding the sun and moon in early negotiations and about Trump not providing his minimal demands is evidence that Schumer and Graham have no clue how negotiation works in the real world (where Trump lives). They need to have someone read “The Art of the Deal” to them before taking another step. Then hire a “professional negotiator” for their side and step back and watch. But they won’t.

This is not a fair negotiation and will not be a fair deal. I’m not sick of winning yet.

If the anxiety of the “DREAMERS” parents arises from fears that, since they are not anchor parents they may no longer be able to squat here illegally, I’m pretty sure those fears are well founded.
Since when did “fairness” require the federal government to protect aliens here illegally?
Mexifornia: deputize the 101st airborne into ICE, send them to LA and Sacramento, arrest Gov. Brown, the Mexican Bund and any protesting `Dreamers’ unable to produce proof of legal residence—all for sedition and transport them on Bluebird school buses to DC for trial.

A way to save the "Dreamers" and build President Donald Trump's wall to protect the borders, and lower the anxiety of millions of Dreamer parents, those immigrants who crossed over illegally for a better life in America.

They can lower their anxiety by going back home. There's no reason whatsoever to reward criminals. Illegal aliens do not make America great.

This has nothing to do with IMMIGRATION...

This is about illegal aliens...

Illegal aliens don’t IMMIGRATE...

BTW theres nothing “fair” about the elite treatment for illegal aliens...

Al Capone wishes he had known Chuckie and Nancy...

DACA “kids” number in the 100 thousands, Dreamers number in the many millions.

What is fair for someone here illegally?

Deportation.

They don’t want fair. They want mercy.

The general concept of granting permanent status but never citizenship looks appealing but has a constitutional flaw. The children of these dreamers will automatically be citizens. This plan gives the democrats their political win but they just have to wait a generation to realize it.
