White House Betrayal: Won't Insist On Border Wall Funding For DACA Amnesty
Hidden Americans ^ | 09/12/2017 | Richard Saunders

Posted on 09/12/2017 1:26:21 PM PDT by nodwam

Trump's legislative affairs director has given up all leverage by telling the press that the White House is not demanding wall funding for Amnesty for DACA recipients, saying the administration is “most interested in getting border security” and that Trump believes a barrier “is important to that equation of border security.”

“Whether or not that is part of a DACA equation or whether or not that’s another legislative vehicle — I don’t want us to bind ourselves into a construct that makes reaching a conclusion on DACA impossible,” Short said during a breakfast.

Meanwhile, Schumer and Pelosi are cheering the White House surrender. They can already see Trump and the Republicans abandoning the wall and giving into amnesty with no crackdown on illegal aliens or real increased border security.

"That's a very, very good thing and good progress," Schumer said. "I've told him (Trump) over and over again. At one point he said, 'go easy on the wall.' I said no."

"Look, I made it so, so clear to the president that there's not going to be a wall in the appropriations process or in others," Schumer added.

“We’ve been very clear: There is no wall in our DACA future. It’s just not going to happen,” Pelosi said in a small roundtable with reporters, recounting her conversations with Trump. “I think it’s immoral, I think it’s expensive and ineffective. And so we’re not going to that place.”

‘You pass it, I’ll sign it, I want some border stuff.’ That’s what he said,” Pelosi recounted. “We always want border stuff, so that’s not a problem. Especially with all the technologies.”

I recommend that you wait and see how things play out long term. We elected Trump to do his thing, I suggest now we allow him to do it. By running around with your hair on fire every time the msm reports that Trump is betraying his base, you are allowing the msm to manipulate you.

Latino supremacist nonsense!
Earth to Mexican nationalists, the average age of DACA recipient's is 25.5 years. They are no “children”.

No. Just no.
We elected Trump to build the wall. We did NOT elect Trump to give blanket amnesty to law breakers.

You are in the minority. Overwhelmingly, Americans demand that the wall be built. Every poll backs that.

I guess “the promise shouldn’t be kept” is a more honest excuse for a lying politician who reneges on a major campaign pledge than a lame excuse like “he keeps his promise and he is playing 3d chess”.

Most of the applicants are much older than fifteen. They were not properly vetted either, nor did they have to prove they had been here any length of time. Estimates are 50% fraudulent claims. Under the example you give, I’d agree with you, but that applies to a smaller percentage of dreamers.

The "kids" were not born here. They are not American and have no right to be here. The "dreamers" are all foreigners, illegal aliens. They belong back in their own country — this is NOT their country.

Let me take a stab at this 4d chess thing. In 4d chess, down is up, black is white, night is day, losing is winning. In other words, 4d chess is an alternative universe or make-believe opposite universe.

Good posts this thread Joe. Of course the illegal lover idiots will have some sort of bull squat reason why we are the bad guys for thinking as we do.
