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 dont want to wait six months, Cuellar said after the meeting. He said, Its already been six days and nothings happened.
Cuellar said Trump didnt 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 Cottons (R-AR) pro-American worker RAISE Act, which cuts legal immigration in half, in exchange for amnesty.

Is this like... the Art of BOHICA, or something?
Fake news.
“President Trump signaled a full-fledged cave “
And this is why Breitbart isnt much better of a news source than anything on the left.
This is just an opinion piece with speculation dressed up as a news report, no different than the NY Times.
I will wait until an actual bill is ready to be signed before I get too excited.
No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 14, 2017
The WALL, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls, will continue to be built.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 14, 2017
Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!.....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 14, 2017
...They have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own - brought in by parents at young age. Plus BIG border security— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 14, 2017
Very Reaganesque of him.
And Paul Ryan has now publicly stated that the wall will never be funded.
Someone please assure me that Trump is playing 4D chess and that we are not getting hosed - again - by Jared, Ivanka, McMaster, etc.
Look at what Trump tweeted this morning in post 7, he obviously doesn’t mean all 800K. Does anyone think Trump would allow the criminal ones to stay?? Not a chance.
There is cliff calling you
The wall is being funded and being built! What don’t people understand about that?
I am not sure that this Dimwit and the even stupider press is reading this right. DACA is what the Democrats want. The issue is what will Trump get in exchange for his 65M voters who don't actually want DACA.
Imagine if Don Corleone were to say to you, "it's been six days already. I'm getting impatient. I want this done."
You heard him too?
Lol.. what do you think a bill made with shumer and Pelosi will look like?Remember not a single republican was there.
Amnesty was my least favorite thing about Reagan.
I wasn’t paying close enough attention at the time, but my impression is that he was sucker punched by democrats. Give us amnesty and then we’ll close the borders. As soon as the democrats get what they want, the deal is over. Part 2 (close the borders, build the wall, crack down on illegals) never happens.
Brietbart is doing the right thing. They see a cave coming and are trying to prevent it. No point whinning about this stuff after it’s done. Get ahead of it and put some cards on the table. If he is thinking about amnesty, he needs to know. If not, then don’t worry about it.
Getting worse for the excuse makers. Giving them Green cards or something like it would make Obama look good.
Trump has denied on Twitter that a deal on amnesty has been done.
Trump’s Tweets, and a dinner with Pelosi and Chuckie is not a bill,
policy or law.
Let’s see what shakes out.
However, if true, Trump will lose his base and when that happens
he will be exposed to impeachment. And will have very little support
to fight it.
