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.

Hannity probably only fills you in on the Trump tweets that he wants you to know about, but this makes it clear.
ell oh ell
The 800k+ who are here illegally are criminals. And I betcha that number is way higher than 800k.
Oh, look: Trump says any wall will come after DACA, which of course means it won’t come at all:

Oh wise one, please tell us the “true” meaning of the last two tweets in dynoman’s post#7.
No, it is not fake news. Some people fall for a fake president.
Trump is not a miracle worker. He doesn’t have magic powers. It seems that is what a lot expect.
How about reading what Trump said in post 7.
What’s worse is after they legalize the daca kids, then they will have to legalize their families. Bros, sisters, parents, cousins, aunts, uncles..... because WHO in their right christian mind would split up famalies????
I don’t expect miracles. I expect results - as promised.
Don’t confuse motion for progress.
“They wanted him to fail and now pushed him into arms of political suicide—IF TRUE.Sean Hannity added”
If Trump can be pushed into the arms of political suicide, he is not the person we thought he was.
There is no rhyme or reason for any of this. If the Republican Congress does nothing, it would be far better for Trump to tread water and wait for the next election.
If someone fights for you to the end and loses.... you respect them. If they flip just to get along you think of them as a traitor to your cause.
Don’t stop the doom and gloom never-trumpers with facts when they’re on a roll. They’re positively giddy today.
Thanks.
It’s amazing how incoherent people get, and here on FR!
I am very disappointed in the President on this, but . . .
As I recall, he was hinting he would go in this direction from the time he was elected, saying he would deal with the so-called Dreamers “with heart.”
It’s the Javanka influence, no doubt.
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
It’s never a good idea to take Trump’s words at face value. He likes to say things that have one meaning but that later parse out to mean something else. He loves doing that.
As for meeting w/ Schumer and Pelosi, my guess is Trump has a BIG BIG surprise in store for them. A surprise that will make them cower in fear and loathing. Not to Trump-—but to another not-surprising target.
Looking at the two pols sitting there in the Oval Office—I kept muttering, “You’ll be s-o-r-r-r-r-y.”
Like that would matter with this present bunch?
Keeping the major campaign promise is not related to magical powers.
Hmmm, what should I believe, this or Trump’s twitter feed...tough call...hahahah. This is pure fake news
