President Trump’s administration is not, in fact, considering a cave to a plan that would give millions of illegal aliens amnesty in exchange for three years of border wall funding, Breitbart News has learned. On Wednesday, the Washington Post and POLITICO reported that the White House was weighing an option to support an upcoming spending bill that would include amnesty for illegal aliens shielded from deportation by the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, in exchange for just three years of funding for a border wall.
White House spokesman Raj Shah, however, told Breitbart News that the Trump administration is not considering supporting the DACA amnesty plan:
“The White House opposes a so-called three for three deal,” Shah said. “In fact, as a result of the caps deal, the routine appropriations process should yield wall funding in the Omnibus. Securing the border is one of the most vital functions of government and is a core part of any routine funding bill. Separately, we have never stopped working to negotiate an immigration reform package that addresses DACA, stops illegal immigration and secures and modernizes our legal immigration system.” [Emphasis added]

I think our best chance of fixing this problem in my lifetime is now and I think Donald J. Trump is the man to get it done despite great opposition from both sides.
Agree
Oh that can’t be right. After all the folks here at FR that said Trump was getting ready to do just that....or even worse amnesty with no wall
Always did. It was utter nonsense that Trump as going to “sign whatever you bring me.”
As a great negotiator, Trump is always a step ahead. He figured people read the “Art of the Deal.” That was YESTERDAY’S manual. Those were YESTERDAY’S tactics.
He now has adopted a two-step approach, in which (to the left & fake news) he looks and sounds very “reasonable” when the first issues come before him (guns, DACA), then when the actual negotiations start, he acts like he never said what he said the first time around.
“I’ll sign whatever you bring me.”
“Oh, of course I’m not going to sign THAT!”
