Don’t you wish these bottom-feeding politicians cared as much about Americans as they do foreign nationals? It appears that the “democrats” are engaged in “nation building” in order to make America a Socialist ****hole.

What do y'all think?

I say NO! This plan says $5 billion per year for 5 years for the wall. If Democrats get a majority in either house the allocation for wall funding in years 2-5 would be $0. Fund the wall, or send them home.

Indefinitely makes it a deal-breaker (I hope). Seems like a crappy fallback plan

No DACA path to citizenship without the wall, an end to chain migration and electronic border security. Period.

I think too much of our government is more concerned about fraudulently documented foreigners than they are about the citizens.

I think, like always, something will get passed and no one will like it. But something will get passed.

Nice defeatist attitude and total confusion about the Constitution.

What are you?
12 years old?

GOOD GRIEF!!
Absolutely NOT!
No path to citizenshIp for illegal criminals WITH OR WITHOUT THE WALL.

PERIOD!

Resist to the end and, if unavoidable, let the Democratics own it 100%--- before the next national elections!

Trump won’t walk give in without something fairly significant...

It’s F’ing outrageous.

It’s enough to make you want to grab the torches and pitch forks.

“repatriate them first, then build the wall. So they’re on the correct side of it.”

I sincerely hope (and am startign to think this was the plan all along) now that all the proposals are shot dead that Trump says DACA is over, time to deport everyone, and fully enforce all immigration laws on the books.

That should get these RINO bastards and a few dems to come crawling back to Trumps demands.

“I think we need the wall first, an end to chain migration, and the abolishment of visa lotteries, then we can consider how long to let “freamers” stay before we kick them out.

But that’s just me.”

Me too. If the wall isn’t built first then the Dems will just stop building the wall and give all the DACA people citizenship as soon as they are in power.

Border security doesn’t say wall, and it’s capped at 5 billion a year. Does the 5 billion have to be approved every year? Also, missing is chain migration and visa lottery fixes.

Capped at 5 billion a year. Needs approval every year? What about chain migration and visa lottery?

Have each DACA pay a $10k fine to pay for the wall, and that’s a deal.

I agree. The time these politicians spend moaning and enabling these illegal aliens is astounding. I do not see them spending any time on Americans who truly need assistance.

Remember these back stabbers in the primaries and if they make to to November too. Better to have a real DemonRAT than a pretend Republican.

Started out with $15 billion for the wall and now we’re up to $25 billion?

Just give them a year. Once you give them legal status that’s all you’ll ever get.

For a variety of reasons. Among them, I can’t see sending people back to a country they’ve never known, where they may not even speak the language, and are set up to fail once they get there, when they didn’t make the decision to break the law.

No citizenship. No voting. No criminality. And no being a public charge.
