The Trump administration released a list of hard-line immigration principles late Sunday that could threaten to derail a deal in Congress to allow of hundreds of thousands of younger undocumented immigrants to remain legally in the country.
The administration's wish list includes the funding of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, a crackdown on the influx of Central American minors and curbs on federal grants to sanctuary cities, according to a document distributed to Congress and obtained by The Washington Post.
The demands were quickly denounced by Democratic leaders in Congress who had hoped to forge a deal with President Trump to protect younger immigrants, known as “dreamers,” who were brought to the United States illegally as children. Trump announced plans last month to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, an Obama-era program that had provided two-year work permits to the dreamers that he called “unconstitutional.”

The ones up for re-election in 2018 better support him....
This is 1986 all over again. Reagan will make a deal we can live with. OH WAIT!!!
And your implication is?????
Deport All Criminal Aliens
The Democrats idea of a deal: we get what we want, you get nothing.
History repeating itself?
So you believe there will be amnesty???
I’m not a prophet, so no sense in arguing about what may or may not happen.
Very true....
And the liberal judges are lining up to overturn what he does.
Just wait, it’s coming.
“that he called “unconstitutional.”
Along with several Federal courts.

This is amnesty for millions and we ask them to enforce existing laws .
There nothing conservative here .
It’s a scam .
Window dressing .
Its Amnesty Folks .
Pf course the media never refers to “hard line” amnesty principles.
Get rid of all these illegal kids and all of their relatives who were brought her by Obama...they do not belong here!
Precisely. Only worse, because now there are so many more of them.
I would bet that if you went line by line, 75% of this would equal “enforce existing laws”. Too much for the Compost.
DACA includes about 800k people. There are 40-50 million illegal aliens in the country. It's a small price to pay for a border wall and enforcement.
Though his one tweet talking about having a heart or however he worded it was concerning, it sounds to me that the president is killing DACA here by making it contingent on things he knows the Dimms (and much of the swamp GOO) will never go for. Of course, I refuse to go to WAPO to read beyond the excerpt, so....
TO the Washington Post. “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”.
You want DACA. We want the wall. Fair trade.
