Donald needs to say he will sign, but only and if only Senator Flake, kisses his hairy ass.

Well, as far as the timeframe goes, he is limited by elections. I really wanted to see something done before the midterms, because if the houses change hands he is less likely to succeed. He definitely needs to get things done before his term is up. So the timeframe is definitely important. And without a wall, a permanent wall not a fence, the Democrats can undo everything he accomplishes.

I agree he is gotten a lot done. But words mean things. And what he said during that meeting was the exact opposite of what he promised his constituents. Now if it is part of negotiations, OK. But if he has actually change sides, but he deserves I just respect.

Time will tell. And I don’t blame anybody for being suspicious, since we have been stabbed in the back by pretend conservatives before. The way to hold his feet to the fire still let him know that we are not happy with what he said. Let’s not be cowards about it. This is our country after all.

I have to believe Mr Trump (POTUS) understands that any conversion of illegals to some pathway to amnesty means the end of the Repubby side of the uniparty as the base says goodbye and a few years down the road to his removal, either by election or impeachment.

Mr Miller must hang on, fight on as he has, and lead Trump to a victory—the republic hangs in the balance.

Stay cool and m

"We are extremely close to a strong bipartisan deal to help dreamers.

WRONG ANSWER.

We need legislation to HELP AMERICAN CITIZENS and to PROTECT AMERICA.

Illegal aliens need to be deported.

Nothing becomes law without President Trump’s signature.

He told the bastards that he'd support whatever they came up with.

Unless it has the border wall, end of Chain migration, end of the Visa lottery, enhance enforcement and e-verify, it will NOT pass both Houses. Everyone chill!

NO!!! DON'T "chill"!

Make your voice heard loud and clear on Capitol Hill!!!

Confirmed 218 Rep votes. Fine with me. The devil is in the details. There are so many issues that need to be resolved in terms of DACA.

Will it apply to just the 900,000 recipients who applied and received the status or will it also include the estimated up to 3 million who didn't apply? Will legalization include a path to citizenship? Will they be allowed to sponsor relatives for entry into the US? Will each DACA recipient be reviewed again to see if they have committed any crimes thus negating their legalization?

And what leverage can the Reps use to get mandatory e-verify, a border wall, reduced chain migration, and an end to the diversity visa lottery program?

Reaching a deal will not be that easy.

Well we know the Senate bill is the one we are going to hate and right now it’s the only one being talked about because Ryan is holding up the Houses bill.

....”But words mean things. And what he said during that meeting was the exact opposite of what he promised his constituents”......

Words are just that words....especially when the negotiations had not even begun....that open view meeting was to position the negotiations.....did you note who was on each side of Trump meeting was seated next to Trump?....that mattered. What they all said was just airing some ideas and thoughts....nothing more.

Screw Flake, who is leaving the Senate anyway. No reason for him to have this kind of power.
