White House proposes path to citizenship for 1.8 million people
CNN ^

Posted on 01/25/2018 2:19:04 PM PST by janetjanet998

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is proposing giving 1.8 million young undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship in exchange for $25 billion for his long-promised wall and a host of other strict immigration cuts, according to a framework proposed Thursday. The outlines of the deal were described by a White House official for staff on Capitol Hill that CNN was given access to on Thursday afternoon. In what the White House official called a "dramatic concession," Trump would accept a path to citizenship for not just those originally eligible for DACA but for a broader population, adding up to 1.8 million people, the official said.

Something like this should be Trump’s first offer...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1053318/posts

1: Eliminate all mention of Section 245(i), even if expired, from the US Immigration and Naturalization Code. No more Amnesty, ever.

2: Get legislation through Congress that would enable States to deny goodies to Illegals, a la Prop #187.

3: Outlaw Mexican matricula consular IDs, and kick banks accepting them out of the FDIC. Legal depositors will withdraw from recalcitrant banks.

4: Beef up Border Security with manpower, resources, and a Volunteer Reserve, if necessary. No troops, and no messing with posse comitatus, this should be a civilian effort.

5: Beef up the immigration courts and set deportation hearings for two weeks after apprehension, with no bail.

6: Run sting operations at day laborer sites.

7: Establish two-way communication between the IRS and Border Security, and start apprehending and deporting Illegals using false SS numbers (no, the current overhyped voluntary program doesn’t count).

8: Seize the assets of businesses knowingly hiring Illegals under the RICO Act, as they are ongoing criminal enterprises. Prosecute executives who knowingly hire Illegals.

9: Compile biometric information on Illegals, and declare that they will be permanently ineligible for immigration and citizenship.

10: If the United States declares that the above proposals against Illegals will be diligently enforced after a certain date, many Illegals will leave beforehand, and a relatively small number of well-publicized cases of enforcement throughout the Lower 48 will result in millions of Illegals deporting themselves.

11: End the busting of immigration caps by limiting family reunification to spouses and dependent children, and counting them against the caps when they are brought in. Require all future immigrants to declare their future intent to bring in family upon arrival. This way, families can immigrate in a controlled, orderly fashion without the current deceptions being used against the American public. We must have truth in immigration.

12: Outlaw anchor babies, and give the option to the Illegal parent of taking the child with them upon deportation, or putting them up for adoption.

13: Outlaw bilingual ballots, and resume the English-speaking requirements for citizenship.

14: Establish English skills as a prerequisite for future immigrants. Let’s start admitting folks who will hit the ground running toward assimilation.

15: Shut off new immigration to nations that offer dual citizenship. Disqualify current immigrants from those nations from future American citizenship.

16: Make Mexico and Central America our cheap import sources of choice with tariffs on manufacturing from other sources, especially China.

17: In return, Mexico must open up to American investment by allowing the sale of real estate to us and guaranteeing property our rights. Getting Mexico to fix its economy is crucial.

18: Establish a guest worker program where an initial bond is posted by the Illegal and his employer, say $500 each, with more withheld from the Illegal’s earnings, as security for his departure from the US by the specified date. Guest worker visas must be applied for in the workers’ countries of origin, and participants are only eligible to be employed by their sponsoring employer. Violation of these terms will render the worker ineligible for any future visas or residence in the US. Any guest worker program can only come after anti-Illegal measures are in place. Handshake promises of future diligence will not be trusted from any politician of either party.

They meaning Dems Need DACA to pass in 2018. Otherwise, they will continue to protest against Schumer.

Demi boxed themselves in by going all in on DACA.

Notice you never heard a peep about DACA during the previous admin years. HA.

This is already backfiring against Dems because Repubs are willing to negotiate on DACA, but must have Wall and end to chain migration. If Dems refuse to negotiate, Trump will blame the Left for failing to get DACA reform.

Art of the Deal.

..... I am fine with eventually giving the so called true and provable Dreamers legal status but only after full vetting of each one with no chain migration ..... relatives allowed only in extreme cases of necessity. And DACA to be given Green Cards AFTER full funding of the wall and Only After the wall has been fully completed.

..... Done any other way the funding for the wall and additional infrastructure could be defunded by the Swamp or any incoming administrations. We can't take that risk. The wall must be built first and very soon.

Yep, democrats will easily manipulate the rust belt voters. Puerto Ricans will flip Florida in 2020 because of "free money" promises. Democrats have always taken advantage of Republican "compassion" because they always promise more.

After the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 stupidity Repubs lost the Senate because people were pissed off at the Amnesty proposal. Careful what you wish for wall or bust posters. Oh yes, Repubs thought if they gave into amnesty, people would love them in 1986. This only cost them the Senate. This time it might cost them Congress and 2020.

This isn’t a surprise. It’s pretty much what Trump has discussed.


What, giving 1.8 million ILLEGALS Citizenship? I pay attention and this is the first time I heard this. You must be one of those “dreamers” too.

It’s actually calling the rats bluff. They won’t accept it and then they look like the ones standing in the way of DACA.

Yeah and most of you deniers will keep your butt in the air and your head in the sand. Hope that pose comes with an umbrella so your butt does not get a sunburn.

Democrats will yield on chain migration... temporarily until they have more leverage. If they win the Presidency in 2020, Bureaus will just look the other way. They are playing the long game and biding their time.

The rats are not bluffing. They tell us exactly what they want. ONE PARTY RULE, and destruction of America. This deal will help them achieve their dream. Thanks Donald!!!

Oh look, he’s still talking.

Just because you were so quick to post, looking like an idiot in the process, doesn’t mean doubling-down is a path to butress a weak argument.

The Democrats cannot accept an end to illegal trespassers.

Period.

I am OK with some amnesty in return for real border security, but the Dens will neveraccept that.

Maybe, until this is all played out no worries yet. Of course if this is the final deal then just got fooled again.

I thought so too until he moved the needle to the negative with this bs move.

NO amnesty is what he said and he should STAND BY his voting block.

Build the damn wall and it should not cost 25mil. Cut out the beautiful lovely door and gold plating and add belt fed full autos.

RR got screwed by signing a bill with a promise to secure the border down the road. At least our President is insisting on that but he said not AMNESTY.

Don’t worry, the Democrats will never support the building of the wall.

They did in 1986 and will be the same in 2018. Like it or not, Democrats will eventually be in control one day.
