President Donald Trump, who pledged to work with Democrats to protect "Dreamers" — young people brought illegally to the United States as children — called on Sunday for money to fund a border wall and thousands more immigration officers to be part of any deal.
Trump's list of immigration "principles," laid out in a document seen by Reuters, is likely to be a non-starter for Democrats, who are seeking a legislative fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that Trump ended last month.
The proposal includes a crackdown on unaccompanied minors who enter the United States, many of them from Central America.
The plan was delivered to leaders in Congress on Sunday evening.

good
Apparently, Democrats want as many MS-13 gang members to come as possible. Democrats love rapists, drug dealers and murderers.
Drop the Birthright citizenship and it’s on.
We don’t parcel off law and order.
Take away ALL benefits of any kind.
Strict enforcement of EVerify
End the funding of ALL air the refugee agencies.
End the fallacy of birthright citizenship and make it retroactive to 1993.
Start going after and deport, quickly, all those that have overstayed visas.
End the H1B visa program unless the company can prove, under oath, that it cannot find an American to take the job.
Put the Natuonal Guard on the border, instead of 10,000 Feds, with their pay, benefits and pensions.
Problem solves itself within a year.
No need for a wall, even though it would be nice to have.
I was just helping an unaccompanied minor the other day. Helping him get from one jurisdiction to another to face first degree murder charges.
That is a reasonable deal considering Democrats should be entitled to nothing.
Tell them to p!ss off. Trump holds, well, the trump cards.
Unattended minors should be returned to their parents. You don’t keep them.
RINOs are going to oppose Trump on this, and will be punished accordingly at the ballot box next year.
This issue, more than any other, is what got Trump elected.
That was nice of you; you have our thanks that he got there without fleeing!
Republicans in Congress may not go for even some of the current proposals

“The demands released Sunday reflected a wish list of their proposals, many of which are not only opposed by Democrats, but go far beyond what a majority of congressional Republicans would back.”
On a national level politicians will gloss over the human price of loose immigration. It is up to people at a local level to wake up, take notice, and demand the rule of law. This killer came to the States as an “unaccompainied minor.”
All of that, PLUS!..."The Wall"
