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 timeline is a little slower even though you might be fundamentally correct. The citizenship will probably come in 5 years. Trump might ask for 10, but only get 5. That means those new citizens can start importing some relatives unless chain is limited for citizens, not just green card or Trump card immigrants.

The end point is the same, we get overrun and they vote for Chavez. But Trump's plan is the kind of American greatness that will give the power back to middle America. Yes, there will be hispanic immigrants there too, but they might be happy enough to not vote or not vote for Chavez. This is all a huge gamble but the other alternative is to keep the border open and let the illegal problem get worse.

Heck, with that “chain migration”, that seems to be already bringing in a lot of potential immigrants, our immigration system has been the pits big time for decades, that diversity system and so on.

Don’t get me wrong, as a rule and as a Christian too, I like and love all people, but this immigration system is bringing our country to its knees.

You can chose how to interpret the law either. Time for them to go.

HAHA...knew he would fold on this. HE and Sessions will fold on prosecuting these devils that are destroying America too. We have been had

I don't understand why so many people here are so stupid.

Trump is basically saying "I'll give you DACA" in exchange for the complete transformation of our current immigration policies plus the wall.

The Democrats will most probably refuse it, but even if they were stupid enough to accept the deal, it would mean the end to mass immigration, and certainly the deportation of the more than 40 million illegals who otherwise run free around the country.

The RAT politicians cannot vote for it, because their hard left base will rip them to shreds.

Please read the White House memo in post #277, the section entitled “DACA Legalization.”

My point or rather question,

Does chain migration already bring in a lot of Rat voters every year? Where does it even out then with the 1.8 million dreamers plus family members? I’m just saying, maybe this chain migration is already a big losing deal for us.

My worry is that just as President Trump is undoing Obama’s policies, the next Democrat President will undo Trump’s policies. The Border Wall could go the way of the Berlin Wall.

I heard recently the chain migration is the driving force of immigration now -- over 70%. What's worse, it gives the immigrant -- not the USA! -- the decision over who comes into the country.

It is an outrageously ill-conceived policy, and a security threat to boot.

Ah. Avoiding my question.
I told u Trump never said anything about giving 1.8 million illegals
amnesty.
You send me a link to an article. I read it, but there is no mention
of Trump ever saying he was going to give 1.8 million illegals amnesty.
He never said it on the campaign trail. He never mentioned it in speeches.
1.8 million given amnesty vs 700,000 DACA’s given amnesty is a big
difference.

It’s a great strategy by Trump. He shows he is willing to negotiate and the Democrats aren’t.

Reminds me of the Israelis and the Palis.

Yes, current law is a losing deal for us.

In 2015, 1.38 million foreign-born individuals moved to the United States, a 2 percent increase from 1.36 million in 2014.

Annual number due to Chain Migration is larger than population of DC (681k)
