I am very happy they turned down amnesty. If there is to be any limited amnesty, it should be part of a whole immigration reform—full funding of wall, end all catch-and-release and instead legislate mandatory deportation of anyone entering or staying illegally in the US, implement e-Verify, and that limited amnesty should allow DACA to stay but NO WORK PERMITS and NO GOVERNMENT BENEFITS. Let them stay only and only for 3 more years.
The whole point of letting them stay is having them work
“I am very happy they turned down amnesty.”
I am quite sure that Trump knew that going it. In essence, this was a “throw away” speech, in which Trump sets the hook in the RATs mouths more deeply. I still think that the National Emergency EO is coming before the end of the month.
