Deal or no Deal? 'Dreamers' wait as Trump, lawmakers joust

...."We're not looking at citizenship, we're not looking at amnesty. We're looking at allowing people to stay here," Trump told reporters as he traveled to view hurricane damage in Florida. "But very importantly, what we want: We have to have a wall," Trump said. "If we don't have a wall, we're doing nothing."

...Another person familiar with the meeting said that as the president and Schumer were going back and forth, hashing out the confines of the agreement, the president kept referencing DACA, while Schumer kept talking about the DREAM Act. After Mulvaney piped in to make clear the distinction, the president signaled he understood the difference and was talking about DACA, the person said.

Exactly what Trump and Schumer agreed to is unclear. But the posture struck by Ryan and others on Capitol Hill seemed designed to protect the president from a backlash from his conservative base. Ryan energetically disputed the idea that any deal had been struck, though his argument seemed to turn largely on semantic distinctions.

"These were discussions not negotiations, there isn't an agreement," Ryan said. "The president wasn't negotiating a deal last night. The president was talking with Democratic leaders to get their perspective.

Ivanka and Jared, Ivanka and Jared, get over them. They’re not the problem. You should have figured out by now, that Trump is his own man.

Howabout we let this pot simmer a while and finish cooking before you start eating the raw ingredients.

We don’t know anything about anything yet. All we know is there will be NO amnesty and the wall is not a negotiable point as far as President Trump is concerned.

The low life dems, pelosi and fish face schumer, are trying to steal all the thunder and take all the credit when in reality it’s a complex negotiation.

You, of course, can run around screaming the sky is falling, the sky is falling, all you like but it changes nothing. We still have to wait and let that stew cook.

Have you considered seeing a doctor for your anxiety issues? I’m serious; you could really use a Xanax or some other mellowing type medicine. That kind of stress is hard on the body too. You’ll worry yourself into an early grave.

I would hope that our highest deportation policies would be less sympathetic criminals than the Dreamers. Deport new arrivals quickly. Deport adults who came as adults quickly. Deport criminals who committed an additional crime besides illegal entry quickly. Deport illegals on welfare quickly. Making Dreamers a lower priority is fine. Any form of Amnesty for “Dreamers” or for any other illegal criminals is not okay.
