And rebuilding and restoring the military. He can move forward without his “right wing base” but he will never see 2021 at 1600 PA Ave. Nor will the GOP continue to control Congress, not that that seems to matter since even with a great majority, the GOP bows to the leftists.

I suspect this article was timed by WAPO due to the Comey fiasco. I saw another article that stated the “amnesty” was “temporary.” IOW, no movement has actually been had on Dreamers one way or the other. I am unsure if Trump is ready to deal with this issue when there are so many other policy priorities currently being haggled with.

Yes, its a lame attempt by WAPO to split Trump’s base due to the media’s failure with Comey.

Don’t get me wrong. My problem is with all immigration, including DACA. We’re simply having our culture flooded-out by immigrants, to the point where we’re only now barely able to sustain a 2-party system, and if a bunch more ‘disadvantaged’ immigrants continue to show up, it’s over.

So, to me, it’s demographics. Us honkies are reproducing very slowly and the way to respond if we want to preserve our culture and language, is to bring in immigrants very slowly too. Unfortunately we opened the floodgates at that time (starting about the beginning of the century - although it dates back to 1965), so now it’s time to compensate by catching our breath - and Trump came the closest, but I doubt he’s ever considered it from a demographic standpoint - so he’s leaving himself open to the ‘human interest’ plays.

But my only question was whether Trump’s breaking his promise...you think so, I remember otherwise (non-committal)...but maybe it is both - at the beginning, and perhaps in his position paper he was ready to reverse DACA (or at least freeze it)...but then our friends that made Paris so exciting (the kids) are tugging on him here too.

DACA must be ended, it is an illegal program dreamed up by the Kenyanesian Usurper with no basis in law.
We cannot demand an end to sanctuary cities protecting illegal aliens from our laws while the President is doing the same thing.
DACA undermines the rule of law and all other enforcement efforts.
President Trump has broken a promise, no matter how much some want to rationalize it.

TRUE!

Denial of reality will not protect you from the consequences of denying reality.

DACA lives on despite Candidate Trump’s promise to end it.

President Trump is continuing to give waivers to illegal aliens just like Obama did.

“We will immediately terminate President Obama’s two illegal executive amnesties in which he defied federal law and the Constitution to give amnesty to approximately five million illegal immigrants, five million.”

— Donald Trump, August 31, 2016

From Numbers USA:

New data from USCIS show that the Trump Administration is still granting the DACA amnesty to thousands of illegal aliens. President Trump pledged to end Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty on the campaign trail, but his Administration has yet to do so.

Here’s what he said last August:


“We will immediately terminate President Obama’s two illegal executive amnesties in which he defied federal law and the Constitution to give amnesty to approximately five million illegal immigrants, five million.”

— Donald Trump, August 31, 2016

According to the report, 10,362 illegal aliens received the DACA amnesty for the first time between January and March of 2017. Another 122,428 renewals were approved. Pres. Trump didn’t take office until Jan. 20, so some of the numbers can be assigned to Obama, but the majority of the requests accepted came after Pres. Trump took office.

He can end DACA anytime he wants, a new executive order rescinding the one that created this illegal program.

Thank you very much. Throwing tantrums over civilized kids busy seeking degrees and caring about the only country they know makes the whiners look exactly like the Left wants them to look— like zealots and ignorant Neanderthals.

That is not Trump’s style and never will be.

And his dream is also to one day be a good solid Democrat.

Just like the overwhelming majority of Mexicans in the U.S. all through even the fourth generation.

Your sympathy for our future overlords is going to destroy us all.

I feel sorry for them as human beings in unfortunate circumstances but the country comes first.

End birthright citizenship. End anchor babies. End all amnesties.

Thanks...found it too, from Los Angeles last summer. Sucks that he’s not keeping that promise, and if Trump goes down, it will be because of moves like that.

You could argue that 95 % of all illegal immigrants are “civilized”. The “whiners” as you call them are just about everyone who voted for Trump. If you really want to be a part of the “Party of Illegal Immigration”, then Democrats are desperately looking for fresh blood. Otherwise, sweetie-pie, get out of the way and let the “zealots and ignorant Neanderthals” enforce the legitimate laws of this nation that you are too weak and indifferent to support.

Then it’s fake news until I say it isn’t.

You are free to think whatever you want, but that obligates no one to agree with you and ignore the facts.

Don’t get me wrong. My problem is with all immigration

Me too, I agree with Coulter entirely on immigration. It is not just a big deal, it is the only deal that matters.

I am watching the whole Western civilization commit suicide and wonder how it is possible that every leader in the western world don't seem to notice.

You pus chancres are obviously not keeping up with current events. For all intents and purposes, the federal gubbermint has been overthrown by the maoists, stalinists and muslims put in the executive branch in 2008

Until that situation is rectified, shut your fing pieholes.

You’re now on my neverTrumper list.
