President Trump called on Congress to “legalize” DACA late Tuesday, just hours after his administration announced the repeal of the amnesty for children brought to the country illegally — promising that he will “revisit this issue” if Congress does not turn DACA into legislation.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the repeal of the Obama era executive order — known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — both on constitutional grounds and also on principle.
“The effect of this unilateral executive amnesty, among other things, contributed to a surge of unaccompanied minors on the southern border that yielded terrible humanitarian consequences,” Sessions said. “It also denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same jobs to go to illegal aliens.”
The move saw significant opposition from Democrats and voices in the media, while even some Republicans who formerly opposed DACA called for Congress to act to resolve the issue with legislation.
The rollback includes a six-month delay so as to allow Congress to act if it so chose. The White House had expressed hope that the issue could be included as part of a broader immigration legislation package, with Trump tweeting that he hoped to work with Democrats and Republicans for a reform “that puts hardworking citizens of our country 1st.”
But by late Tuesday, Trump appeared to have turned into a paper tiger on the key campaign promise to get rid of DACA, saying he would “revisit this issue” if Congress did not “legalize DACA.”

Yep. All this talk of Art of the Deal nonsense is really talking about caving to Amnesty and what he gets in return for it.
He better get something big..but knowing the GOPE..it will be enhanced border security BUT NO WALL..and that’s about it.
Trump will sign it.
The retoric from the people that swear to Christ those two literally run the White House is inconsistent to the point where the people that love running to it as a placeholder for not knowing what the hell they are even talking about, sound like loons because people that pay attention can clearly see that it takes every position on the same issues.
You hired them.
Try controlling the ones you sent there.
Some people here act like these guys just show up every 2 years and sneak into those jobs.
White House Risks Amnesty for Nothing with DACA Gambit

“[Republicans are] going to go into the elections in 2018 not having repealed Obamacare but having given DACAs an amnesty? I mean, you know — why wasn’t [Democratic Rep.]Nancy Pelosi speaker? What’s the difference?” said Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies, speaking Tuesday on “The Laura Ingraham Show.”
Naa...that is true with a number of people here, but even I read that Tweet (before anything was written on it) and reacted with worry. It was only when I was able to put it in perspective that I stopped worrying.
...but I do agree, there is a subculture of NeverTrumpers still here that hit him whenever they can. I wish they’d be ‘purged’.
My guess is that he caved in order to appease his daughter.

Ending DACA is caving? LMAO. Please do continue your day dream.
It’s impossible for Trump to please the Never Trumpers here. They really are quite ghoulish.
Geez, it's seems clear as day. Trump WANTS to sign off on a legalized DACA amnesty.
SMH.
If you could write in plain English I could perhaps understand your claim more.
But if you don’t think their surrounding Trump with liberals and being liberals themselves is not relevant, I just think you are illogical and ignorant.
He will. If Congress can get one passed.
I am going to bookmark this post to see which one of us is right.
DACA will end with amnesty.
No need to bookmark. I can guarantee you will be unhappy with POTUS because this issue won’t end with 800,000 wetbacks being frog marched across the border in chains. Time to join Realville, FRiend.
“You are the one who initiated the incivility on this slamming me when Trump came out with this over the weekend. I have no expectation of persuading you on anything.”
Whatever you say, “jvanka”. :)
“Trump has made it clear that he wants Congress to continue DACA by legalizing it—since it wasn’t legal in its present form.”
That’s your opinion. It’s not accurate with the facts. I suggest a re-reading of Sessions statement yesterday for clarity. Perhaps this will help also: https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-process/frequently-asked-questions
“But you are clearly impervious to plain English readings and logic.”
Naw, I just dare to disagree with you & some few others regarding President Trump’s tweets & actions. I’ll continue to do so where appropriate.
I am talking about the “Revisit” part. Pay attention to what the thread is about.
So I guess that means you are for Amnesty? Right?
Yes they are. It’s interesting to me how the same few all pop up at the same time with new terms of endearment (insults) at the same time spewing similar talking points (whiny complaints).
They complained President Trump was allowing DACA to continue. Then after Sessions announces that DACA is rescinded they focus on President Trump’s tweet & collectively determine he’s “planning to legalize DACA” when his administration as stated clearly that is something only Congress can do.
I expect President Trump’s “revisiting”, should it occur, will be nothing more than a Session’s announcement that all DACA folks will be subject to deportation effective immediately. Just my opinion :)
This assumes that what he says has just one meaning and one purpose. I think that is a false assumption.
Should have never been a matter of “Making a deal”....Congress should have opposed Obama on this but once again sat on their hands even though they knew it was unconstitutional.
I’m completely disgusted with our representatives....round and round we go and STILL they serve themselves!

Yup, that's what it looks like Trump wants. Trump is waiting to sign a DACA bill.
It's as if the only thing Trump doesn't like about DACA is that it wasn't passed by Congress.
I'm bookmarking too.
