Leverage to get the wall funded and built.
Hopefully they get deported so that wages go up.
So signing amnesty for up to 2 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS is playing 4-D chess?
OK.....got it.
If the illegal alien dacacas get deported along with their illegal alien parents, siblings aunts uncles cousins grandparents, then its marvie...
I would rather have him repeal DACA and its done. then shut the government down over the wall funding.
ButWe’ll see how this plays out.
If we end up with DACA sidgned into law that will a be loss
If we end up with no wall funding, that will be a loss.
the debt ceiling increase is already a loss.
Gee, Dick; it would be nice if Dreamers could also prove that they never committed identity theft to get on an American payroll, never took a job away from an American citizen in order to get on an American payroll, and never registered to vote, or voted under a different name.

Agreed I’m holding my applause till I see what happens.
If the idiots in congress pass DACA and trump signs it that will be a big loss for America, and a broken campaign promise
If DACA passes and the wall gets FULLY funded its a big loss plus a big win. But who is in charge? why are we giving them ANYTHING?
Im predicting DACA will pass and be signed and there will be no funding for the wall. We’ll see.
Dick morris likes political strategy, fair enough, but I prefer what gets things done for America’s best interests.
If this works then great job. We’ll have to see though. I m quite pessimistic about it right now.
I think DACA will pass and get signed and the wall will never be funded, but as I said, we will see.
Had the GOP controlled Congress jumped right in on implementing President Trump’s Agenda, we wouldn’t even be discussing this.
Obama managed to takeover a sixth of the U.S. Economy right out of the box with Obamacare and McConnell whines about President Trumps expectations which pale in comparison.
Build a Wall, lower Tax Rates, pass a real Budget and get the Government out of Healthcare (as much as possible).
There you go Mitch. You have 14 Months to get er done.
IOW, to get amnesty.
I'd rather he declare the temporary DACA ended and deport them. But maybe this is smart politics --amnestize 200k of them and, in return, get Dems to work with him on taxes and health care. EXCEPT the Dems have rolled the Republicans so many times in deals like this that they are completely untrustworthy. This could be yet another bone-head naive move.
This was written before Trump’s “deal” with Schumer/Pelosi.
More than just the wall. End sanctuary cities. Beef up the border patrol. End the procedural delays for deportation of non dreamers.
He should use the same strategy with Obamacare.
Commit to using all executive influence, power and actions as lawfully allowed under the Constitution - to repeal Obamacare - at the same time assist companies (using the same executive powers as appropriate) in offering “scaled back” coverage options replacement insurance coverage.
Starting in 6 months.
Appeal to Congress to repeal, replace or whatever else they want to do to fix Obamacare so that it’s not so expensive and burdensome.
Then step away and let them own it.
Amnesty is brilliant, who knew?
No, they won't. This isn't like a debt ceiling or emergency disaster relief funding in the aftermath of a major hurricane. There is no need for a legislative "solution" to a problem that has been caused by a lack of enforcement of laws that are already on the books. If Congress takes no action, the laws simply stay there unchanged -- and can be enforced (or not) at the discretion of the U.S. Justice Dept.
More importantly, it would probably be a political disaster -- and a moral outrage -- for Congress to enact any legislation to deal with these so-called "dreamers" anytime soon. There are tens of millions of U.S. citizens who have been dealing with an abomination known as Obamacare for years. Any member of Congress who feels a need to take up a DACA bill without first repealing ObamaCare should instead simply blow his brains out on the floor of the House or Senate.
Remember the same being said about Roberts...still waiting for that great chess move...
“If the Democrats dont work constructively with the GOP to produce a real piece of legislation, the deadline of an expiring DACA program will force them into line.”
Except that Trump has said he will reconsider his DACA decision if congress does nothing. In saying that he pretty much lost his leverage.
President Donald Trump was simply taken into the basement of the WH and shown the figurative footage of JFK, RFK and MLK being blown away..... something similar to “YOU VIL OBEY” or else. He is flip flopping like a fish out of water. He WILL be the man who gives amnesty to the 50 million, just like Nixon (went to China) to give away our manufacturing base, taking a stand against everything he ever stood for.
that’s a fact...
yet it depends on what he thinks he can do without congress that wouldn’t be unconstitutional.
he’s already being sued both ways. (not sure how either side can win)
SCOTUS already killed DAPA(which is DACA for parents) and an extension of DACA with their 4-4 decision.
Pres. Trump then EO’d DAPA out of existence. Then froze DACA for 6 months.
SCOTUS is scheduled to take up DACA again in October with a full court.
By the time 6 months is over, this already could be ancient history, with Congress and the POTUS not having had to do anything.
