Trump and Democrats reach a DACA deal — without the border wall
cnbc.com ^ | September 14, 2017 | Jacob Pramuk

The top congressional Democrats on Wednesday night said they reached a deal with President Donald Trump to shield about 800,000 young immigrants from deportation — without the president's proposed border wall as a condition.

"We had a productive meeting at the White House with the President. The discussion focused on DACA," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said in a statement following a White House dinner with Trump.

"We agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that's acceptable to both sides," they added.

"White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders disputed the Democrats' version of events, saying, 'excluding the wall was certainly not agreed to.' "

It sounds like there's a deal in principle that doesn't include the wall but Trump reserves the right to push for it.

.... Well ... The GOP has proven to be nothing more than the "We Hate Trump Party" .... so what do we all expect.

... Heck ... The President has been calculating and taking notes over the past 7 months .... And he now knows who he will be able to work with ..... And who he can Trust. Republicans have sold their souls to the god of hate and refuse to work with their own President. ... So guess what .... the President has to use whatever tools he has left on his plate ..... And Yup ..... This is it.

.... He has been FORCED to go it alone by his own Traitorous Party who refuse to work with him.

We just assumed that the wall would be number one on the agenda because it was number one on the promise list.

"But man, except for Gorsuch and some EOs and regulations. Nothing much."

That blame lays squarely with the obstructionist repub "leadership" in congress.

Repeal and Replace should have been done months ago.
Funding for the border wall should have been accomplished months ago.
Taxes revamped should be nearly done, if not already.

The do nothing congress is more concerned about helping ~800k adult foreigners who are here illegally, than paying attention to the citizens who put them in office.

This is congresses fault.

“I don’t blame him for being FED UP with our party.”

Being fed up with the RINO Party is fine but don’t take it out on those millions of us who elected him because of what he promised..

WaPost:

"Congressional aides familiar with the exchange said that Trump and the party leaders agreed to move quickly on legislation to protect dreamers and provide them permanent legal status in the United States. It was not clear whether they agreed that the goal should be for dreamers to eventually have a path to citizenship."

I’m certainly not happy with him either...but he’s just done with that backstabbing bunch.

Unfortunately yes, he is TOTALLY fed up. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like what he’s doing any more than anyone else here (other than the NeverTrumpers here, who are celebrating).

I’m just trying to explain his mindset.


I don't care if he's fed up. I'm fed up with uncontrolled borders and decades of illegal aliens moving en masse to this country. I elected him to build the wall, as he promised repeatedly. I expect him to keep his word.

The wall is permanent security and it keeps out the hundreds of thousands who gave us DACA. Border security is a mere whim that can be changed based on who is in power. We need the wall.

Hey don’t you know siding with the Dems and stabbing Republicans in the back is winning......even if it’s not what he promised. I’m just astounded at all the sycophants.

In 2016, a lot of folks crossed party lines or ignored them to vote for ‘somebody different’ who seemed to share their frustration with the way the SOBs in Congress were running the country. We might still get some judges out of this guy but now we need to focus on voting out out the worse slimeballs in 2018 and hope a better version of Trump comes along in 2020. Maybe “The Art of the Deal” isn’t what we need to MAGA. I know we don’t need pandering to illegals such as enshrining DACA to help our country.

I remember how candidate Trump used to fire up the crowds with his promise to sign a massive illegal alien amnesty into law.

"How many are going to Amnesty?", he would call out.

"Millions!" the crowd would shout back.

"Who's going to pay for it"? Trump would continue.

"We are !!" the crowd would roar.

Those were good times.

Correct.DACA is preserved and while there is no language excluding a wall it is not part of this deal and the Dems have made no committment to allow funding to pass.Since the filibuster still exists and since Repubs like McCain and Flake oppose the wall, it will never get built. My guess is that Pres. Trump did not like being poryrsyed as cold hearted. Maybe Bergolio’s comments bothered him...Naaah. Just being himself. He likes to win. But winning means coming out on top even if it means he has to change sides. Did it any number of times in his building and casino career.
