Donald Trump has drawn a line in the sand on deal to keep the government operating past January 19. Democrats are demanding that Trump address the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program, which would legalize hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens. They say they won't vote to fund the government past the January 19 deadline unless DACA provisions are included.
Trump has upped the ante by making funding the border wall part of the deal, as well as the elimination of "chain migration" and the visa lottery. Trump is making the Democrats pay a heavy price for DACA by tying his approval to the continuing resolution to fund the government.
"The Democrats have been told, and fully understand, that there can be no DACA without the desperately needed WALL at the Southern Border and an END to the horrible Chain Migration & ridiculous Lottery System of Immigration etc," the president wrote on Friday. "We must protect our Country at all cost!" On Tuesday he added, "Democrats are doing nothing for DACA – just interested in politics."

The Democrats think the so called Illegal Dreamers are more important than Government Workers?
The POTUS should just tell the Rats that if they shut down the Government those same Workers will not be paid for their time off retroactively as in the past.
They will have to use up their paid Vacation days or not be paid at all since they won’t be working “for the people”.
It will look great.
Parks open ...social security checks mailed...military, border and law enforcement on their jobs
Nonessential workers don't get paid
And in March the DACA ceases to exist.
Dreamers...Dims all discombobulated
Every bill introduce on DACA greatly expands eligibility from the 700,000 already signed up.
3.5 million is what they are shooting for.
Eliminating chain migration will cause many of the Dreamers to go home with their families. It has always seems clear to me that he would allow the Dreamers. I don’t believe he loses much support on this
That and you add all of those “dreamers” to the voting rolls.
“dreamer” = nightmare
Throw these bums out!
from your keyboard... to trump’s eyes... lol
“Eliminating chain migration will cause many of the Dreamers to go home with their families. It has always seems clear to me that he would allow the Dreamers. I don’t believe he loses much support on this.”
Your comment qualifies as Famous Last Words.
If it happens in March....wage earners will see bigger paychecks as the lower IRS withholding starts in February.
There is only one winning deal to be made on DACA.
700,000 already enrolled get a green card in exchange for complete wall funding, end anchor babies, end chain migration, mandatory e-verify for work and benefits, massively increased funding for expedited removals starting with the parents of the amnestied.
He just threw another chip on the table by canceling the funding for the NY/NJ tunnels and bridges projects.
Agreeing to any kind of amnesty would be the equivalent of raising taxes after promising: “Read my lips”.
We rejected more than a dozen GOPers who were prepared to sell us out. This is in Congress’ lap. He won’t sign amnesty.
That's what I was hoping for. No other single enforcement provision would have a greater impact on illegal immigration, not even the wall.
Remember nearly 50% of aliens illegally in the US came legally as non-immigrants.
If demonrats were smart, they would make the deal for amnesty for 800k illegals. Amnesty would sink Trump’s ship.
Not unless they change existing law. Should DACA pass then once the dreamers go through the process and are given the status of Lawfully Admitted Permanent Residence (LAPR) the clock starts ticking.
There is a 5 year waiting period in which the LAPR must show good moral character before being eligible to naturalize. Only then can they vote.
How much does he extract from the tax payers to raise all those foreign citizens from cradle to grave. How many more will come because of the amnesty? We did this before, how did that work out.
He doesn't need a deal, just enforce the laws already on the books and arrest those governors.
Thank you Proust, I thought I remembered that he promised to end it.
He could have the question is why didn't he?
I don’t know how much he’s fighting on this. Seems like he’s going to legalize illegals for the sake of a permeable wall.
Ever been to California? </s>
