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.

The kids who were born here are Americans.

You’re not being realistic.

Don’t you think it is possible for some of these Dreamers to remember when they were given the opportunity for citizenship and who it was that made it possible? Those illegal immigrants who have been here since they were in grade school do know how to read. Trust Trump. He really does have a world view.

There are about 690,000 who are currently signed up with the Department of Homeland Security and have active 2 year work permits.

I wish they’d deport every single person in this country illegally, but I know that will never happen. Since whole swaths of this country would be deserted, I guess instead they’re trying to find a way to keep most of them here while deporting criminal types.

We are talking about “dreamers” not anchor babies. look at the title and every post.

perhaps you should go back to DU. you are not conservative, obviously, but are trolling to push amnesty for law breakers.

No it isn’t. It’s quite clear.

If you are born here, you are American citizen. That’s the law.

You can’t pick and choose which laws to follow.

Just as their parents are guilty of entering the US illegally. The kids born here are Americans. Period.

Thse who entered then would not qualify for DACA. To be eligible, illegal immigrants must have entered the United States before their 16th birthday and prior to June 2007,

Yep. Funny how these Trump ‘shockers’ always seem to pull out the NeverTrumper’s, from whichever dark, dank rock they crawl under.

I don’t know what is more predictable, humorous and enjoyable, when it comes to Trump’s masterful moves....watching libs heads explode or the NeverTrumper’s, here.

How man took the amnesty that Reagan offered and go the legal route and how many chose to stay in the shadows?

You’re projecting.

Trump is trying to deal with reality.

Same here. If the proposal is legit, Trump will risk massive reprisal from his base. But like others here have said, until we hear it straight from him and not from Fake News, I won’t believe it. But if it is, all hell will break loose.

they have no gratitude whatsoever. i met dozens in mexifornia. they hate America, even while taking every free handout there is. they identify as whatever country they came from. they’ll never appreciate all they have stolen from taxpayers. they’ve taken spots from Americans in schools, gotten free education. medical, food - and feel entitled to all of it - and more!!!!

look at how they protested, DEMANDING amnesty!!!!

Please point out in the article where Trump said he was going to give
amnesty to 1.8 illegals.

We are all aware that he wants to give 700,000 illegals amnesty,
but he has never said anything about 1.8 million.

“...consider why they took the risk to be here.”

Funny, seems when someone breaks the LAW, there are consequences to that RISK, BUTT NOT for illegal aliens and their little ‘chirren’.

No way the SCOTUS won’t allow them to VOTE once ‘given’ citizenship no matter what they write in the LAW.

And since the entire reasoning behind this ‘push’ for DACA and the ‘browning’ of America is simply and ONLY to overwhelm the current voting percentages to DEMOCRAT, then i say, GET IN LINE and wait your YEARS to apply for citizenship just like all the rest of lawful immigrants.

Cheap labor has corrupted the system and K-street and Business Roundtable along with Chambers of Commerce are the bad actors in this play.

POTUS DJT promised (US) AMERICAN’s FIRST, and he knows how to make that happen. IF 60 votes scares the ‘Pubbies, imagine the VETO pen.
