It will be the same 2 phase plan as the one we’ve seen over and over again:

Phase 1. Immediate amnesty for Illegals.
Phase 2. Promise to talk about more border security some time in the distant future.

Unfortunately, Reagan started us down this path. I still that Trump breaks the cycle.

You both exaggerate. Yes, the DACA people will get amnesty, but there will be border security in the deal. Otherwise no deal. Trump said it literally more than a dozen times in the meeting. Two Dems, Hoyer and Feinstain begged (literally begged) for a "clean" DACA deal because it takes too long to negotiate the rest. Trump said sure, we can do two phases but border security has to be in phase 1.

Then they discussed chain migration and lottery. Trump said those should be ended. At first he wanted that in the deal (i.e. phase 1), later he appeared to allow that to be in phase 2. Then he said he trusts the congresscritters to do the right thing. Some Republicans said they wanted to make sure they had a bill Trump would sign. But Trump said he would sign a bill because they would do the right thing.

I am a Trump fan, always have been, and always will be. This was not deal making today, but giving in to the Dems. However that was also inevitable because the Dems are actually in charge of Congress even without the majority.

That’s exactly what happened in 1986 and what has been attempted multiple times since 2006.
Amnesty today for border security someday.

No enforcement will keep them coming.
If we do not restore the rule of law, we lose our country.
