Democrats say they have deal with Trump on young immigrants

WASHINGTON (AP) — The top House and Senate Democrats said Wednesday they had reached agreement with President Donald Trump to protect thousands of younger immigrants from deportation and fund some border security enhancements — not including Trump’s long-sought border wall.

The deal announced by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi following a White House dinner would enshrine protections for the nearly 800,000 immigrants brought illegally to this country as kids who had benefited from former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. The program provided temporary work permits and protection from deportation.

Let me know when the first mile has been built. Or even the first dollar budgeted. So far New York Donny has folded on every budget “fight” where wall funding could have happened.

It will pass with every Democrat voting for it along with McCain, Rubio, Flake and enough other open-border RINOs putting it over the top. New York Donny will sign in a multicultural ceremony straight out of the Obama years. Heck Obama will probably attend.

ABC is reporting Schumer and Pelisi said they are nearing agreement.

Do they have one or not?

I’m not convinced they do.

I think people need to realize that it’s the mostly been the Democrats who have prevented the DACA kids from being legalized. They are the literal poster children for “comprehensive immigration reform”; without them in the picture, amnesty for the other 10-20 million is dead. I’m fine if Trump makes this deal, with or without anything else connected to it.

Not to be argumentative, but can you tell me where you found that?

I’d like to read more.

Breitbart says its true. One big stab in the back and kick in the rear for those who believed in his promise. Let’s not wear blinkers or sugarcoat this. This is a full throated amnesty pure and simple. Jvanka win, bigly!

Which do you believe, the wall-to-wall coverage that a deal was struck or the late night White House denial? I suspect there is a deal and we are not going to be happy about it. End of day looks like Congress and White House are going to give illegal aliens AMNESTY. We must speak up, scream, make clear that this cannot occur. Kill it. NO AMNESTY.

A favorite tactic of Democrats on the more radical social left is to make false claims devised to cause infighting between conservatives. Their followers (radical feminists and homosexual activists) also troll discussion boards—sometimes, for decades—to further drive the infighting.

Pelosi, Schumer and the Associated Press girls most likely made a false statement there for the purpose of causing infighting between conservatives.

We’ll have to figure out what the truth is here and I don’t think that’s clear yet.

I think the business elites want cheap labor in this country and have plenty of $$$$$$ to buy both political parties into that notion.

From what I understand the White House is denying that President Trump has given up on the wall.

I will troll. But when it happens, it won't be because of your buddies in the House Freedom Caucus and the GOP, who, to a man, have dragged their feet and refused to do anything about the borders. Even Ted Cruz is on record pathologically lying about his immigration positions.

It will be Trump dragging them kicking and screaming.

Fox News confirms the deal:
A source briefed on the meeting confirmed to Fox News that Trump and the leaders agreed to pair the DREAM Act, which provides for giving young illegal immigrants eventual citizenship, with some measures enhancing border security. The source said that those measures do not include Trump's long-promised wall across the U.S.-Mexico border.

That one I have to disagree with - I think it would take an Amendment.

You might be right but it's possible it won't so what really needs to happen is some kind of group of lawyers need to look at it and see. If it takes an amendment it won't get done until we have a Constitutional Convention.

Grassley already said not enough senate votes.

But thanks for playing.

Trump has dragged nobody “kicking and screaming”. Instead he has abandoned his promises and his base. He hasn’t lifted a finger to fight for a Wall, punting on every opportunity to get it funded - of which DACA was his strongest negotiating chance yet.

But please continue to enjoy your fantasies.

“Future Donald” !!! In the Future he fights for “MAGA”. But not just yet.

LOL!!

Just to let you know, we’re pretty much ignoring your “Duplicates” abuse reports - since you still don’t know what’s constitutes a duplicate - and after having been told.
