President-Elect Donald Trump’s softer stance on so-called DREAMers demonstrates that Democratic pressure is having an impact on the billionaire businessman, according to one of Congress’ most vocal amnesty advocates.

“My reaction is, it’s working. It’s working. The fact that we are raising the issue of the DREAMers is working. The pressure is beginning to reverberate in his own comments.

Very delusional given Trump hasn't been sworn in yet to be declaring victory.

Just like Algore saying his conversation with Trump was very productive before Trump nominated Pruitt for head of EPA.

I hope he is playing rope-a-dope. I am not going to assume it until we see how this pans out. I hope this does not turn out to be a repeat of "read my lips - no new taxes".

The Left believes in taking extreme stances, to look “reasonable” when forcing incremental concessions.

Doesn't this fool understand that he's going to have to give something if he really wants to help the Dreamers? He should've come back and promised to embrace The Wall in places where drugs and illegal entry into the US are out of control.

No wonder DJT isn't appointing many DC pols. Most all of them only know getting their way and getting paid off. JMHO

He isn’t necessarily softening. He is trolling them ‘work something out’ could be anything - but once again Trump proves to be the Grandmaster - controlling news cycle.

Who the F*** is Gutierrez working for? Once 0dunga's illegal EO's are revoked, Trump needs to remind everyone that aiding and abetting ILLEGAL INVADERS is a Federal crime. He can start by doing THAT.

Trump needs to IMMEDIATELY order the Border Patrol back to the border and to ALSO call out the National Guard as well. They can protect and guard Trump's newly built WALL.

Luis evidently has never heard of the “iron fist in a velvet glove” approach to dealing with issues. AlGore was enlightened yesterday.

Yeah, this is like Trump “backpedaling” on climate change and the nominating Pruitt for EPA.

Trump is giving them the rope-a-dope again.
