Confusion Over Whether Trump Wants To Give Illegal Immigrants Citizenship

“We got played!”

Oh please.

You guys love using that retarded phrase as much as wailing about how you’ve been “betrayed”.

The only thing you’ve gotten “played” by is your mouths running ahead of your brains at the command of the media.

[zerosix]

Green cards for periods of time?

[astrodude]

Congress can do whatever it wants but unless they’ve got a veto-proof majority they’ll need to provide whatever Trump wants or it won’t get signed. At least that’s the way it should work. We’ll just have to wait and see.

In any event worrying about it does no real good until the negotiations are over. However continuing to provide input may still prove worthwhile.

Some republicans will roll over on DACA And I believe his ow words mean he will sign what congress sends over. They are already negotiating the “deal”

[Pelham]

Any capitulation to illegals, and that includes DACA, is seen across the border for exactly what it is: defacto amnesty for illegals.

And the flood to get into the United States will be as large as ever. Because the politicians we elect put sympathy for trespasser foreign nationals ahead of Americans whose neighborhoods have been ruined by massive illegal immigration.

California became what it is because of this. We now have Democrats who openly side with illegal immigrants and defy U.S. law. And why shouldn’t they? Their “opposition” is the gutless, feckless GOP who routinely stab their voters in the back.

I already know where this leads to, living in once-American SoCal. The rest of you are in for a shock.

“We’re not looking at citizenship, we’re not looking at amnesty. We’re looking at allowing people to stay here.”

That is amnesty, Mr. President.

Distinction without a difference. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Unfortunately, some of us are not at all surprised by this.

[Pelham]

Refusal to deport DACAs is defacto citizenship.

Anyone who thinks that including a prohibition on letting them stay without making them citizens will last is a fool.

That “prohibition” will be eliminated as soon as Ryan and McConnell can phone Pelosi and Schumer to cut a deal.

[Leep]

For not being a politician..Trump knows how things work.
Astute.

[JBW1949]

“...I think the press is trying to get to Trump supporters...nothing else has worked...”

That’s it in a nutshell...And it seems to be working with quite a few here in FR...

[Artemis Webb]

All I wanted from Trump and all I expected was to keep Hillary out of the White House and for him to nominate a conservative to fill Scalia’s seat on the SCOTUS. I got both. There were far too many FReepers that foolishly thought Trump was the Second Coming. I don’t feel sorry for ya’ll.

Get the RINO horn out of your @ss.

You said, "Get the RINO horn out of your @ss." But what you really meant was:

Boo Hoo Hoo Brother.

[agatheringstorm]

Refusal to deport DACAs is defacto citizenship.

It's actually worse than that. Let's say a DACA deal gets done and anyone who was brought here by their parents before they were age 18 gets to stay (under whatever conditions, which I'll get to in a moment). The real question that the intrepid reporters need to ask is: "What about all the other non-DACA people who are here illegally? Can we infer that they're not allowed to stay, and will be summarily rounded up and deported?" The answer to that will be "Well, umm, no." So, the DACA exemption is false on the face of it. The only illegals who will ever get deported are felons, in my opinion.

So, how do you deal with the situation? There are several cards Trump can play in the negotiation. 1. You expose democrat hypocrisy. They claim they just want these poor people to be able to stay here and not separate families. Great. They can stay, but their penalty for breaking the law is they will never be given the right to vote. Period. That goes for DACA and non-DACA illegals. The Dems will squeal, but the hypocrisy will be clear. 2. You offer permanent residence (not citizenship) to any and all illegals who will volunteer to build the wall. You use illegals to build the wall, unpaid. 3. You offer full-blown citizenship to any illegals who serve 8 years in the US military. That's what I'd do, anyway.

[central_va]

What kind stupidity is this?

[Artemis Webb]

You were the one who threw the first personal insult. You tell me.

[Cats1]

“This time we don’t forget or forgive. Might as well vote for democrats. There is no difference.”

Agreed. I support Trump and will be ecstatic if he gets another term, but after that I doubt I’ll vote for a president again. McCain, Bush, Romney, Paul Ryan, Jeb... Like Hill said, “What difference does it make?”

[Herakles]

We can’t fly or go to the moon either!

[MagillaX]

Trump is taking responsibility for a bad situation. Whether you like it not we let them stay for all these years now we own their situation.

Get a deal done making sure we know who exactly is in this country and have a real enforceable boarder.

Sounds like a realistic plan Trump is working on.
