In a meeting with establishment politicians from the Problem Solvers Caucus and the Blue Dog Coalition, President Trump signaled a full-fledged cave on the issue of giving amnesty to nearly 800,000 illegal aliens currently protected by an Obama-created executive immigration program.
Since Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the ultimate end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, under which hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens were given work permits and temporary protected status, Trump has remained unclear on whether he would stick to his anti-amnesty campaign promises or cave to the political establishment.
At his White House meeting with moderates, according to The Hill, Trump is set to choose a legislative deal that quickly legalizes the nearly 800,000 illegal aliens on DACA, without getting any pro-American immigration reforms in return:
Indeed, said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), the president is already getting impatient.
“He says, ‘Oh, DACA, we want to move on this quick, we don’t want to wait six months,’” Cuellar said after the meeting. “He said, ‘It’s already been six days and nothing’s happened.’”
Cuellar said Trump didn’t propose a timeline, but voiced concerns that waiting until the March 5 deadline grows closer would only put a spotlight on the issue and make it more difficult for Congress to act. The president, Cuellar said, wants to move “when people are not expecting it.”
...
Although Trump is looking at pushing through a clean amnesty bill for DACA recipients, he did mention during the meeting, according to Cuellar, the possibility of passing Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) pro-American worker “RAISE Act,” which cuts legal immigration in half, in exchange for amnesty.

Trump Appoints More Judges in 200 Days Than Obama, Bush, Clinton (only 8 have been confirmed out of 44 nominated). This is but one example of how Trump is trying to get shi* done...from an (R)/conservative/Constitution perspective, and the damned congress is standing in his way...in some cases, actively pushing back against him.
Is Trump perfect? No, never will be...no one is. He is, however, being resisted by many in the (R) party who are supposed to be on the same team.
Blame Congress! They must be held accountable for their obstructionism and breaking even their own promises!

Most Voters Welcome Trump’s Outreach to Congressional Democrats
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3585480/posts
[snip] Republicans (72%) are even more enthusiastic about the president working with congressional Democrats than Democrats (62%) and voters not affiliated with either major party (63%) are. [/snip]
The only thing I have to say about this is that this President, as do all Presidents, needs support in Congress to enact legislation and to avoid removal from office.
I have been ASTOUNDED at the refusal of the congressional Republican party to adopt Trump’s agenda as their own. Their childish, petulant reaction to the smack in the face that his nomination implied for all of them and their weak, inadequate conduct in office is a disgrace to all of them, personally and collectively.
However. Any port in a storm. Trump cannot (at least until 2019) find help from the GOP in Congress. Their faces are set against him.
If he accepts the role of a failure - who can do nothing in office - he might as well never have run. He’s given up a lot for us.
So, if the Democrats (in their own self-interest) can move some of their issues, and help this man conduct the business of the Executive Branch at the same time, who am I to say no?
NO !NO ! Two wrongs don't make it right.
What then would you have this man do?

Sad but true.
I signed up for their emails, and all I get are schlocky promos to buy stuff from their sponsors (like gold) before the economy collapses next week. /s
>>I’m just on pins and needles waiting to see what Donald’s gonna do to gullible Dems..Schumer and Pelosi.<<

I think they will run headlong into Ryan and McConnell who are currently executing U-Turns at the speed of light back to the Trump agenda ... or face permanent marginalization.
Immigration reform is already happening, extreme vetting is happening, the paradigm has shifted on immigration.

Trump is sticking with the wall, didn’t you read his tweet this morning?
Fake news reporting
Right. That’s why it’s so amazing people here on FR act like Trump will allow the criminals and freeloaders to stay.
The Trump haters here look for anything to get the vapors over.

Why are Trump haters even HERE? Seriously. Didn’t Jim ask them to take a hike? Go find some board about creepy Texan Senators and hang out THERE.

Gosh, that’s so witty. Does that come naturally, or did you have to work at it?
Good point....nice take.
Yes in the future he will fight!
But not right now. Not the right time.
But in the future, later - THEN he will fight.

If this true, Trump will lose in 2020 in a landslide. His base will desert him as they should.
Comes naturally.
Agree. Amnesty is a ticket to a single term. And it should be.
