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.

How many times have people in here “clutched their pearls” right off the bat only to find out in a few days what President Trump actually does is totally different from what they thought???
“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.

Ditto. If Trump wants to work a deal where a bunch of harmless, employed people stay in the country in exchange for the RATS cooperation in getting the wall built, that’s not “caving,” that’s negotiating to get what he wants - particularly since it’s clear he can’t count on the Republicans for support (in spite of Paul Ryan’s weasel words).
(Just to be clear, I’m not saying that all the DACA people are “harmless, employed people.” Clearly, those that AREN’T shouldn’t be allowed to stay).
absolutely some i would throw out. The narative is just what he tweeted. The truth is they are like any other people group. Some of them are lousy people who you and i would both deport without a second thought.
Trump was there. You really think of Mitch and Ryan were there they’d be more likely to argue for a position you want than Trump?!? Stop following he “news” it’s twisting your mind away from common sense. Mitch and Paul couldn’t even age to repeal Obamacare. Calm down
“Fake news.”
It’s an environmentally friendly trifecta: fake news, click bait and recycled for about a hundred times here since yesterday.
So many people here see the glass half full, then intentionally empty it just so they can throw their hands up in the air and go “Woe is us! Woe is us!”.
Have a little faith people. If you don’t, go sign up to your local chapter of Antifa and march around pretending the world is going to change because you don’t get 100% of everything you want.
Trump tweeted his intent for amnesty this morning.
Which Kind of Clickbait Are You? (#11 Will Shock You!)
He’s not planning to throw people out just for the heck of it. Even Rush said he would deal because it makes sense. Everyone here seems to think hat a deal has to benefit only the Democrats which tells me they don’t know the art of he deal at all
That’s a lie. He wants a quick RESOLUTION of the issue, not a quick amnesty.
Seriously, can we stop posting all the fake news?!?!?!
Yeah I know, I posted them in post 7 on this thread. Like caltaxed said it has always been his position to deport only the criminal and free loading ones. What trump tweeted this morning is no surprise to any who were paying attention during the campaign.
Anyone have any suggestions on how Trump can grant you everything you want when he doesn't even have help from his own party?
Trump can't do the impossible. All the media has to do is parade some accomplished dreamers, especially those in the military, in front of the camera and all heck will break lose. Our country will not stand for throwing all of them out. Reality sucks, but it is reality.
What is worse is he tweeted the left narrative. One of his tweets was exactly the argument pelosi makes for daca amnesty. No law legalizing any people group is a good idea for any reason. There is a reason naturalization requires a background check.
Me too.
You would throw all out even ones like trump mention in his tweet?
That ain’t gonna happen. And it’s not what Trump said during the campaign.
Tell me how he repeals Obamacare without Congress...how does he deal with illegal immigration without Congress? Liberals will just take whatever he does to court otherwise they’ll just pass it when hey inevitably take over next year. Trump would sign the hardest right wing policy but this Congress isn’t going to pass it, period. Trump would sign a clean repeal but Congress won’t pass it.
People with felony or serious misdemeanor convictions aren't eligible for DACA so wouldn't be in the 800k.
