Trump open to expanding Dreamer protection to 1.2 million despite campaign vow

The White House has tentatively agreed to provide legal status to as many as 1.2 million so-called Dreamers — far more than the 690,000 currently protected under an expiring Obama-era program — as part of a broader immigration deal, according to three people familiar with the negotiations.

Immigration advocates want larger concessions and point to the Dream Act, introduced by Sens. Lindsay Graham, R-South Carolina, and Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, which would protect 1.7 million Dreamers.

690,000, 1.2 million, 1.7 million it's going to be 1986 all over again when the Simpson–Mazzoli Bill stated 2 million illegals would be allowed to stay and it ended up being 14 million. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.

I can’t believe Republicans in South Carolina tolerate this swisher Graham as their senator.

Fake News

[Fai Mao]

These stories keep appearing and then Trump shoots them down.

I think this is lie-beral wishful thinking

[umgud]

I hope there is no chain migration or path to citizenship.

[C210N]

WTH is going on here... I thought the 800,000 number existed because that’s how many were here. So, that number was a lie?

Anita Kumar And Franco Ordoñez

Let's see... would I believe these people form the Sacramento Bee as far as I could throw them?

Nope!

[Paladin2]

Chain Amnasty will grow that number bigly.

[ealgeone]

If this is the case expect a blood bath at the midterms and in 2020.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Open primary. That’s how Graham does it.

If Trump does this he will blow up the base.

[lodi90]

1)These wetbacks are already here and getting near full benefits in states like CA.
2)If chain migration is limited to the nuclear family it will be worth cutting a deal.

We can day dream about deporting them but the reality is that isn’t going to happen. So the options are cutting a deal on DACA or continuing an illegal program. The next Dem POTUS will just legalize all of them so it is in our interest to let POTUS make a deal here.

[servantboy777]

News source out of California? Yea...grain/salt.

[redfreedom]

This is most certainly something to worry about, isn’t it? I mean that’s why this Calif rag printed it, to worry the Trump supporters and to give false hope to the illegals.

I personally think this is propaganda, part of the tripe that’s been spewing from the MSM since election day.

I can see all the FR handwringer’s and pants wetters fretting over Trump caving, which is the exact intent of the article.

[Jane Long]

I think, if this RUMOR were to happen.....POTUS would find a way to clean up the welfare rolls, to remove ILLEGALS/NON-CITIZENS, thus sending most of these leaches packing.

I can dream.

[cba123]

Trump BUILD THE WALL.

Now. First. Do that, THEN (and only then) you can “protect” immigrants.

But enough with the protection for now. Protect US.

[madison10]

So who believes the MSM?

[yuleeyahoo]

Not a Serious Solution

The Flake-Graham-Durbin proposal is not a serious solution to protect the American people but a giant step in the wrong direction,” Gidley said. “The President was clear in a bipartisan bicameral public meeting that national security must include four issues: border security, ending chain migration, stopping the visa lottery and a responsible solution to DACA.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

And their parents. Uncles. Aunties. Grand parents. Cousins. 2nd cousins. Neighbors. Barbers. And roommates.

[robroys woman]

Yep. The article says “tentatively” and doesn’t list any of his terms. That is the part that matters.

[silverleaf]

Reading between the lines the “ deal” Durbin brought to the infamous WH meeting included entire new groups from various Shitholia nations as “ dreamers”

A sop to the Congressional black caucus

So dont be thinking DACAs are Mexican and Central Americans
That 28 year old Haitian “student” is now a DACA
