President Donald Trump restated his support for wall funding, telling reporters on Monday that it would be part of any deal with Democrats to legalize illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children.
“We need a wall in this country. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it,” Trump said during a press conference with Mitch McConnell on Monday. “We need a wall and that will be part of it.”
Trump was asked by ABC’s Jon Karl if he would insist that wall funding would be part of a deal with Democrats to provide a solution for DACA recipients.
The president pointed out that Mexico was “not doing particularly well” on stopping drugs and illegal immigration from coming into the United States, which was why it was a priority.

An immediate blanket amnesty that will bring in an unending stream of illegals
in exchange of a so-called wall that will never get funded.
BFD, Donald!!!!!
Lol.. it’s 1986 all over again. We got anchor babies and No. Wall. Last time. But I guess a history book is out of the question. Prepare your children for invasion. Amnesty horribly awry part two.
NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO...
I wanted to suggest perhaps Every Inch of the wall complete before amnesty.
FWIW, I’m keeping my powder dry.
Nothing here that causes me to think that.
Not sure why the NeverTrumpers are up so early, but I’ll weigh in.
Ending CHAIN MIGRATION ends the stream of Democrats coming here LEGALLY from Third World countries - well over a million per year. It also means that while the Dreamers get to stay and vote...their parents and other Illegals related to them DO NOT. So the Dems get 800,000 new voters, and that is it. We make up that difference in less than a year.
As to the Wall...the Dems will NEVER give that to Trump, so don’t worry about - they’ll leave the Dreamers hanging long before they’ll give Trump his grand prize.
Oh goodie. Another chance for never-trumpers to lose their minds lololololol.
Let’s all start setting our hair on fire ASAP!!! /s
NeverTrumpers = Democrats in drag
Never been called a NeverTrumper before, thanks a lot, pal.
As you said, Dems will never agree to fund the wall, but what makes you so sure that they will agree to end the chain migration (stop at just the dreamers but not the ‘parents and other illegals’)?
You are dreaming.
We’ve done this before.
No Amnesty!
His read my lips moment was during the campaign, when he said it is tough but even DACA illegals have to go home.
Then he reinforced it with Jivanka guiding him to a massively pro-DACA position.
Now the question is whether he at least walks it back to a wall, ending chain migration, etc.
But legalizing DACA should never have been put on the table at all.
He’s going to trade something he never seriously believed he could get done—deporting Dreamers—for something he really wants—the wall. It’s a brilliant deal if he can make it happen.
Hey this is GOPe fault. POTUS would not NEED the help of that many dems if any at all, but of course the GOP will not help with the wall.
Slimeball liars.
I’m not even sure this is worth talking about at this point. It would be a political disaster for any Republican to support any legislation dealing with 800,000 illegal aliens after they’ve failed to live up to their long-standing campaign promises on Obamacare, tax reform, etc. that affect tens of millions of American citizens. President Trump knows this better than anyone else.
Probably a poison pill then. Personally, I would make that trade. Those 800,000 DACA illegals are going no where. DACA is dead already, and the wall and immigration reform is still the long term answer to the problem.
Finish the wall - not “plan for”, not “fund”, not “start” -
but FINISH the wall and then we can START talking about DACA.

The (R) knee-pad brigade is out in full force (”We’re building the wall” *Yeah!* “’Dreamers get to stay” *Yeah, we got the wall!* “Well, the (D) back-stabbed, so no wall, but Dreamers stay” *Poo! Well, we’ll got for the other 1/2-loaf....later*.).
Don’t worry, FRiend, all sides have their zealots. We should continue to show their duplicity/hypocrisy. Maybe they’ll come up for air enough to listen (doubtful).
