The reaction from hawks and Capitol Hill and elsewhere, however, was decidedly negative.
Thats missing the point, said Center for Immigration Studies Executive Director Mark Krikorian on border demands. Thats always been my fear, that Trump would give away DACA for a fig leaf.
Krikorian said legal immigration restrictions are needed to mitigate the effects of amnesty. For instance, he said, if the United States does not restrict family-sponsored immigration, the DACA recipients will be able to sponsor their foreign relatives for residency including, potentially, their parents, who brought them illegally in the first place.
Amnesty opponents have hurled plenty of invective at Trump in the last 12 hours, but Krikorians might be the most stinging tying him to 2016 GOP primary rival Jeb Bush.
The president is letting the Democrats set the terms of the discussion
This is pure Jebism, he said.

I commend you for not just calling it fake news & cucks (like so many here do ... and will till the day they die. Even after Trump hasn’t followed thru on any immigration campaign promise).
They like to whine but tend to not put their money where their mouth is - because their noses are so far up the butts of those who want Trump to fail?????
Do something useful...
it might add credibility to your concern troll ...concerns....
>>Meeting with Schumer and Pelosi was just a mirage then, right?<<
Well, Ryan and McConnell are not buddies and Schumer is! Those two can wheel and deal and joke around, have a grand ol’ time.
This was the whole point of the Left putting out this story, to create fissures in Trump’s support.
Come on, people. You are getting played.
The Left lies. Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.
I, for one, am holding strong for Trump.
Trump's own tweets about not kicking out DACA immigrants are apparently also fake news or something now, too.
Exactly. Same as Marco or Hillary would have done.
Except the GOP might have fought back against Hillary on it the way they did against Obama.
Like Nixon being the one who could go to China—Trump is the one who can deliver amnesty.
Disgusting.
No it is Congress that hasn’t followed through.
I’ve had my issues with Trump, especially as a candidate, but he brought me around because he seemed like a man who would try his best to do what he said he would do, and most of what he said he would do sounded good.
I’m hoping these rumors of a ‘deal’ are just that... rumors. I’m actually not opposed to revisiting limited types of amnesty... but NOT until we have decisively secured the southern border. Otherwise, we haven’t solved anything, and just given ourselves future ‘amnesty’ problems.
Crossing my fingers that President Trump will do the right thing and stick to his campaign promises!
The only thing in dispute is the term “deal.” They have an agreement but no legislative deal yet. (I wonder why.) Both sides say this!!!!!!!!!!!! No fake news. No lies.
I’ve tried calling the WH to register my deep disapproval—but they’re not answering the phone.
Taps, brother. He screwed us!
Bait and switch is part of negotiating 101. Who is being baited? Trump voters or Nancy and Chuck?
Because Boehner, Kantor, and McTurtle didnt come out of the dinner saying there was an agreement. And Barky had how many such meetings? Pres. Trump has had two in six days.
I’m seriously thinking that with all the White House firings of Trump loyalists and with a liberal palace guard firmly ensconced, and now this, it’s really over. I’m not going to be fooled again. It’s time to turn my attention elsewhere.
WINNING with 3-D Chess and “all that jazz.”
President Jivanka win out of Daddy’s deception. If Hillary were president, the GOP in Congress would at least push back against it.
And I in no way expect that he will nominate another Gorsuch—he’ll give the SC to the left (and Ivanka) too.
Jeez folks step away from the ledge....I for one will keep my powder dry til then! REMEMBER THE FAKE NEWS AND THE SNAKES called Nancy and schumer along with the mediapukes are basically trying to divide his base!! Without his base he falls! I really believe Trump is on top of this he can’t be that dumb he is cooking something up and using these idiots as he’s driving vehicle to force the Republicans to pass the MAGA agenda! I believe that if Judge Moore wins that Senate seat from Strange along with this maneuver the Republicans are going to be quaking in their loafers! CHECKMATE!!
