Trump defends immigration proposal against 'amnesty' criticism from conservatives
The Hill ^ | January 20, 2019 | Brett Samuels

Posted on 01/20/2019 9:15:10 AM PST by 4Runner

In a series of tweets, Trump chastised Democrats for dismissing his plan, and attempted to assuage immigration hard-liners who likened the administration's latest proposal to amnesty for immigrants already in the country illegally.

"No, Amnesty is not a part of my offer," Trump tweeted. "It is a 3 year extension of DACA. Amnesty will be used only on a much bigger deal, whether on immigration or something else. Likewise there will be no big push to remove the 11,000,000 plus people who are here illegally-but be careful Nancy!"

Start with the parents, they are the ones who broke the law first.

Lefty Roberts will make sure to not deport these kids. You can bet on it.

No Roberts is just another megalomaniac place holder. He loves the vibes of the beltwayland and is regularly reminded that if he votes ‘the wrong way’ on key leftist issues pictures of him with another man's erect penis in his mouth will mysteriously appear on the Internet.

It would give legitimacy to an ILLEGAL program.
DACA has no legal basis.

In the minds of the illogicals and irrationals, every thing is amnesty short of rounding up 30 million illegals, arrest them, process them in a court, and deport them with airfare paid by tax payers.

What they overlook is that with already $22 Trillion in debt, the gov’t has nowhere enough money to hire more security workers to do the job.

I see nothing wrong in keeping productive illegals by giving them a temporary work visa. That makes them legal and temporary and better yet the gov’t knows who they are and where do they work and where do they live. That is what Singapore does and there are no significant number of illegals there. Must be a sane policy because Singapore is the richest country in the world based on number of millionaire citizens based on population size.

We still lose the rule of law and our country.

We lost the rule of law when the Clintons and their crime cartel were allowed to walk for their crimes. The rule of law ship sailed long ago.

folks, the bottom is for me is to trust DJT.

He is the army we have; he is the general we have. And he is the one who leads us for now.

He is 100% better than Mitt, McCain, any of the Bush family.

Ultimately, all of this is in the hands of Yahweh.

I am surprised America hasn’t been punished already. Our pastor pointed out today that 60,000,000 innocent lives have been sacrificed, with the applause of our federal government, on the idolatrous altar of Abortion. We deserve justice, not mercy.

God grant us mercy.

“...If Republicans bring up these points, they would control the narrative. ...”

IF is a big word, Extremist... there may be one or two in the GOP who have the balls to say so, but they haven’t stepped up to the plate yet. They’re terrified of being called ... names.

The only one is Trump, and he’s all alone up there on the Wall (except for the millions of us with him).

“Would be nice if the personality cult would hold Trump to his campaign promises “

Like what is that mean?

We know the opposition he is facing, and we know he isnt DICTATOR. We also see that he stays on offense in the face of this, and we are going to give him the room to keep pushing using his best judgement because he is taking the bombs on our behalf far more resolutely than any of the windbags on our side could ever have.

Now compare that to the numbskulls that think he has 2/3rds of congress, full dictatorial powers, and no judiciary, and can just do whatever, while they have nothing to offer but digital kudos if he tries, but otherwise they arent going to do much more than hang-back and start mouthing-off if some unimportant aspect isnt PRECISELY the way they would do it.

You guys want to show how much better you are, then put on a yellow vest like a Frenchmen, and start showing that you folks have more to offer than ankle-biting online.

How do we deport their parents, uncles, aunts, cousin, etc. if we let the DACA stay?

A better solution is e-verify for new job applicants and existing workers and fine the employers.

You will be shocked how quickly the illegals will self-deport.

!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bingo, we have a winner!

If Trump wanted the Wall it would have been a priority in the first two years of his term.

He just wanted the issue to string along supporters.

And to eliminate Jeb! back in the 16' primaries.

put our military on the borders in numbers to absolutely stop the invasion in its tracks and to have the Army Corps of Engineers build a Real Wall that cannot be breached.

Unfortunately the US Army has no stomach or desire for this. A lot of its so-called leadership are managerial types, milicrats, bureaucrats in uniform. These people just want to continue maneuvering around in the complex, dysfunctional, mindlessly bureaucratic culture of Big Army. A real big war or a big unplanned crisis action is just what these people don't want and can't handle. I saw this myself after 9/11.

If the Army leadership doesn't want to do something if they can't shut it down they will slow roll it or engage in malicious obedience to sabotage the operation. That is how the Army sunk the US anti-drug deployment in Peru. Do it very, very slowly. Show up with the wrong forces to execute the mission. Make it clear to those deployed they are NOT repeat NOT to execute the mission effectively and will only use force if they are under major attack and the force used must be ‘proportionate’.

DJT doesn't need this fight with the milicrat generals just now. I can only hope he understands what is up and finds a Secdef like Rumsfeld who really scared the milicrats and would take none of their silly sh*t when he directed something be done. That was what all that hot air about Rumsfeld ‘disrespecting heroes in uniform’ came from.

When the hell are people going to STOP electing and reelecting Democrat operatives? Why the hell was McCain reelected so many times?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That’s the key.

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.

What’s the point of a wall if we surrender the rule of law and the country?
