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.

Let the pitch forks and torches gather in DC! Trump needs our support, he has nobody else. As per usual the next election 'really' matters. I believe more in the President than his so-called base. I think many of the Never Trumpers here are enemy agents and many more are just duped by the agents.
The Hispanic vote is more like 65/35 but I get what you are saying. We don’t need anymore Dem voters.
But we are going to have to remove Ryan to get the Wall.
If Trump lets DACA people stay, I WILL NOT be happy about it.
It’s not the only issue I’m concerned about. You win some and you lose some.
I’m not going to go full on anti-Trump with so much still on the table. These folks have already done this.
I agree with your take on it. Go some place where your views fit in. This is a forum where we do our best to support the best people we can get. Trump was and still is the best person we could get.
If we were headed into 2020 without him, I don’t know of a single person I would support for POTUS.
Not one!
He may not be exactly what we want, but he’s head and shoulders ahead of the next best person.
Ryan stated yesterday at a press converence that the House would pass funding for the Wall “THIS WEEK”.
It’s been proven to be a totally bogus and false report......
You really should look before you leap.....

Yeah i’m sick of these opinion pieces dressed up as fact.
Golly gosh, you sure got me there Chucky! /s
Why don’t you just reference the clarification President Trump stated in his follow-on press conferences today?
No citizenship for DACA kids...... possible green cards and resident alien status at best......
The entire deal is yet to be negotiated....... nothing’s definite and President Trump never gives away negotiations......
Mulvaney had pictures of new wall construction at a presser. Look it up.

In a debate in Aug 2016 Trump said he would build a wall with a big beautiful door so people could come back legally. He said this would be expedited.

That is the meaning of keeping the good dacas.
He’s been consistent all along.
Protect the U.S. citizens from the invaders!
just for the record, it will be totally too late to do anything about it by that point.
Then prepare to be NOT HAPPY.
By word and deed, DJT has made it very clear that a significant portion of the “Dreamers” will be able to stay in this country. Maybe not as citizens, but staying nonetheless.
There are several “Dreamers” who are veterans. Or in college. People who came here as young children, and have never been in trouble. Do you honestly think DJT is going to kick them out? Sorry... .ain’t gonna happen.
Oh, and please. Don’t accuse me of supporting “the Dreamers”. I’m just providing a dose or reality.
I only address what is right and wrong here.
It is not right to allow them to stay, when millions of others are in line, waiting their turn.
Many of those people will not be a burden on us either.
We helped these kids out, and now it’s time for them to go.
End of story.
