WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday aligned himself solidly with conservative Republicans on immigration, criticizing a proposed bipartisan deal as “horrible” on border security and “very, very weak” on reforms for the legal immigration system.
The Senate proposal -- aimed at addressing Democrats’ demands for protections for young adults dubbed “Dreamers” brought to the United States illegally as children -- fell far short of what most Republicans believe needs to happen, Trump told Reuters in an interview.
“It’s the opposite of what I campaigned for,” Trump said.

Why not let known Dreamers stay for two more years for individual hearings on reasons they should be allowed to stay, provided they bring illegal parents with them. If qualify according to compasionate regulations, great. Otherwise, back home with grubstake.
But didnt people tell us that Trump was “caving” or was going to “betray us”, and other breathless pronouncements?
Hey, that rhymes!
Built the wall, make it tall, enforce the law, deport them all, remember Gaul!
(fall of the Roman Empire reference)
That wouldn’t work. Many “dreamers” already are in prison. Kick them ALL out ASAP (i.e., this afternoon)!
“...takes hard line...”? President Trump takes Constitutional, most reasonable line. Kick ALL illegal alien invaders OUT! Seize their ill-gotten assets to pay for the trouble.
Deferred = Put off until later... Does not mean amnesty, does not mean permanent residency.
DACA is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals: Most are grown now, time to send them home.
“We need to remove the Bush League Republicans and replace them with patriots.”
They’ll probably be replaced with Democrats. The GOP is low T.
We don’t have to keep letting them manipulate US into electing their weasels.
Why should we?
Why not end the illegal DACA program and remove these citizens of other countries who broke into ours?
The only way I’d agree to any staying is if they turn in their parents for removal.
How did Lindsay get 11 million out of 800,000 ,that new math Obama was pushing ?
Yes. And the many FR Trump-doubters will continue to erupt in that same hysteria for the next eight years - while Trump saves America.
And now WE need to send him legislators who will actually work with him.
Turnout, turnout, turnout.
We did great in 2017 with special elections until the very end of the year; we REALLY need to recapture that energy we had!
US Congress is occupied territory. Few are those representing USConstitution.
Indeed!
They GOT a good education here; didn't they??
Mexico NEEDS their SKILLS!!!
Can anyone find a site that shows a list of crimes the Dreamers have committed? I read that in Arizona they comprise 8% of the prison population.
Someone should send this list to Fox News and the White House for publication.
Needs repeating until it happens. Build the wall. Enforce the law. Deport them all.
Yes, the US may have missed a bullet that would have made it more likely to be just another part of the Great Caliphate to come. Europe and the UK are already lost.
It IS a brilliant strategery...I remember threads under Bush II where this was promulgated to no effective end...but it is still a brilliant idea. All Trump would have to do is overlay the Mexican cartels on the main egress routes...
It’s been a long time since our Republic has had a President with a spine - MAGA!
Thank You, President Trump! I say: “When in doubt, Deport them OUT!”
