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.

Thanks for pointing that out...I have been catching DJT in so many lies and backtracks lately. But point that out to one of true believers, they tell you its the art of the deal or 4D chess.
Whoo boy! You are going to take it in the shorts from the Trump true believers.
But good for you for pointing out the truth!.
It will be funny to watch the tears flow as 2020 approaches. “But he promised us a wall. He promised no amnesty.” They will all stay home.
I haven’t said anything at all about the wall. But he tweeted that the DACA “kid” can stay. That is amnesty. If a person robs a bank and is granted pardon along with keeping the money — that is amnesty.
I just read that he has said no to the Dem’s DACA proposal.

Your is impression is completely wrong. Reagan advocated amnesty and open borders in the primary before he was elected. He was the driving force behind the 1986 amnesty. The WSJ played the biggest role pushing the amnesty and open borders in the media during the 80’s. Democrats were divided on amnesty until after 2000. As recently as 2000, the NYT editorial page was against amnesty. It was only after Dubya tried to get another amnesty that most Democrats dropped their objections to it.
Hello Ostrich, meet sand.
Ok, rest assured, you are getting hosed again. Bank on it.
Time will tell.
Yes and since then there has been an election. All votes have been counted.
Ehhh, Hillary will not been prosecuted. What did you say? The President said he would prosecute her if elected.
Fast forward to today.....Amnesty is coming because President Trump does not see that these illegal invaders need to go home to their home country as tweeted this morning. GO READ IT......
Lindsey Graham, is that you?
Please show me the line item in the budget allocating money for the wall. Please show me a newly built (last 6 months) stretch of the wall.
If you can’t do those rwo simple things, at least share some of that crack you’ve been smoking.
I don’t listen or watch Hannity and the Tweet you posted refers to the Dreamers it doesn’t say anything about the wall, as a matter of fact it says he will build the wall.
And just what — exactly — is “massive border security” and how is this different than “a wall”? Why not just come out and say “wall” as was articulated at numerous campaign rallies?
Anyone can have “massive border security” and stop the flow of illegal immigration, except that, unlike a physical wall, the next Obama will simply, easily, and without legislative approval, just end or curtail the “massive border security” and essentially end it.
ENFORCE THE LAW, DONALD.!
"...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"
ENFORCE THE LAW, DONALD!
IF YOU MUST, GIVE THEM ENOUGH MONEY TO GET AN EDUCATION IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES AND SUPPORT FOR ENOUGH YEARS FOR THEM TO DO IT.
THIS WILL BE MUCH CHEAPER THAN ELECTING DEMOCRATS TO PUBLIC OFFICE, WHICH THEY CAN BE EXPECTED TO HELP DO.
THAT'S WHY DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS SUPPORT AMNESTY: 800,000 NEW DEMOCRAT VOTERS!
IF THEY WERE POTENTIAL REPUBLICAN VOTERS, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT OF THE COUNTRY LONG AGO!
Look at what Trump tweeted this morning in post 7, he obviously doesnt mean all 800K. Does anyone think Trump would allow the criminal ones to stay?? Not a chance.
I don’t care I don’t want amnesty for any of them except Military ones..
Liz, didn't you get the message? Trump is unqualllllified to be POTUS. Bwaha ha!
Yes I am sure he tweeted that.
Propaganda...
Many so-called FReepers have gone to the dark side, and there are also a number of Leftists working here to split Trump supporters away.
Many so-called FReepers are more than willing to chip in.
They spend all their time trashing Trump, and when their lies on one subject are revealed, they simply move to another topic and trash him on that until their lies on that topic are revealed.
Then later they start at the first settled topic and go through the process (and list) again.
We need a good house-cleaning here.
I know of about ten people I’d start with.
Good grief - I’m listening to Hannity now and he’s hyper-ventilating.
Have a little faith, Sean.
As for you never-Trumpers who suddenly feel brazen enough to spout your negative propaganda - why are you here? Go hang out on TedCruzRules.com or DU or something.
