Secure the border FIRST. The rest is an unconscionable sop to lawbreakers.

The devil is in the details; I’ll bet it would be hard to prove a long work record and one would probably have to pay back taxes. And that, sounds a bit like the gang of 8 bill but at least, citizenship is denied.

Well, that strong stand did not last very long.

Can I get a pass on not paying income taxes? I work hard and want a better life, and if tens of millions get a pass on breaking the law, then where is my free pass?

We need immigration law enforcement and the border wall. Trump should use his power to enforce existing law and not fool around with Congress and any sort of comprehensive bill at least until the laws have been enforced for one full presidential term.

1-Secure the Border and deport anyone one who crosses it. Build The Wall and have a more visible armed presence.

2-Eliminate all Santuary nonsense. An Illegal gets arrested and booked at the Police station, he is held and ICE is called.

3-Deport all illegal criminals- Fellons and misdeamors

4-Create everify system for employers and fine employers that hire illegals or do not check.

5-Create Visa tracking system and deport anyone who over stays

6-Lastly create legal status and path to Citizenship for the Dreamers and others if they kept their nose clean towards #3 above

This is a full blown betrayal .

Trump is a done if he stabs us in the back to make nice with the Left wing media and the Dms and the cheap labor express .

This is pure suicide .

I am done with him if he lets Prebius and Ryan scam him .

The stupid party lets the dems get 50 million new voters .

brilliant idea

The Democrats won’t ever do a deal on immigration. They want this problem to exist in politics, not go away.

No new laws to benefit those breaking the current ones.

We did that in 1986 and got 10 times the number of illegal aliens.

We need Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement.

30 years of that and I may consider a compromise on any left.

Unfortunately, if this story is true, Trump will be sorry and our country indelibly changed by letting young people most already radicalized by their parents and others in the culture who think Mexico owns the Southwest because the horrible Americans stole it. They will continue their radicalism with the blessing of really ignorant like Trump and unconcerned people in love with power like most in Congress. Do not make the same mistake Reagan did.

Most Dreamers have a legal right to go to school in their own country and can apply for education visas in the U.S. from there while living with the deported parents.

Hard hearted? Not if you think of them as stealing the dream from legal American residents, mostly Gringos they disrespect.

Cannot believe Trump will fall for this.

No Art of the Deal needed to follow through on the clear promises he made to his supporters an uncountable number of times. Just enforce existing law and build the wall.

>> to pass a compromise immigration reform bill

Anticipating a bill that will displease many from both sides. But the best bill we’ll see in our lifetime will likely be one from President Trump.

My guess:

- Dreamers stay
- Long-timers stay
- Criminals deported - zero tolerance
- Some type of temporary work visas for the remainder.
- no undocumented, no freeloaders, workers are taxed.
- strict felonies for employers gaming the system.
