Trump open to expanding Dreamer protection to 1.2 million despite campaign vow
Sacramento Bee ^ | January 22, 2018 | Anita Kumar And Franco OrdoƱez

Posted on 01/23/2018 6:17:42 AM PST by artichokegrower

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.

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

That's the key... Permanent legal status is a foregone conclusion. But a path to citizenship for ANY illegal would be intolerable to the base. But that's precisely what squishy, center-left RINOs like Graham, Flake, et al are pushing for, along with continued (but pared down) chain migration and a "modified" diversity visa.

NEW STRADGEY by Dems and MSM is to call Illegal Aliens IMMIGRANTS, they are NOT IMMIGRANTS.

Whatever happens, whatever is proposed and debated, whatever is rumored, the media will claim the Trump is “betraying” his base, or will claim he failed on his “promises.” That is a disinformation given.

Some sort of careful reform is needed but not innovation or abandonment of our laws. Careful reform is the very essence of conservatism.

“If Trump delivers a deal in which the border wall gets built, chain migration is ended and 1.2 million illegals are amnestied, that’s a win. Those people are already here and the overwhelming majority will never be deported. The border wall is not here. Get it built and stipulate that none of the 1.2 million can bring their family members in, and Trump has delivered.”


Yes.

I won’t be completely satisfied by this, but it would be a marked improvement over our present situation. I long ago learned that NO ONE ever gets everything they want in politics - take what you can get now, and come back for more later...

...and for me, the “more later” would be an end to birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens. Eliminate that, along with chain migration, and you’ll have completely up-ended the Dem plot to remake the electorate that has been ongoing since at least 1965.

700,000 are signed up, there are 3-4 million that would fit expanded eligibility, there are more than 30 million illegal aliens here.

The 700,000 number was bait to get amnesty for 3-4 million, so they can then pressure US to amnesty the rest.

That’s what I’m thinking. You can give them some things to shut them up, even the CACA/DACAs, but it’s all contingent on the wall being built, control being established, and NO CHAIN MIGRATION, no diversity lottery, etc. And none of their benes kick in until and unless the wall etc. is complete.

No deal.
Allowing the parents to stay is not an option.
They are the ones who are responsible for the “children” (who are mostly adults) being here.

Tennessee’s primary’s are closed, but you don’t have to prove party Registration, just tell the clerk what party you chose. That’s 1 of the reasons we get so many RINOS like Corker and Alexander. Memphis will always be DEM as will Nashville and Knoxville. The other is 2 conservative will run against a RINO, and split the vote, neither backs down even if they are not the highest polling,so the RINO wins by default. This governor’s election RANDY BOYD IS the PRO-AMNESTY candidate. Against a US Rep Marsha Blackburn who polls the highest VS Former State Sen Mae Beavers (NO GAS TAX HIKE, NO NEW TAXES, not keen on Illegals/Refugees) who is more conservative and in touch with TN whereas Blackburn is a DC insider.

No US elected official should be protecting illegal alien citizens of other countries from our laws.

There would not be an illegal DACA program if we had an opposition party that sued to stop this in 2012.

It’s really just tough negotiations but the people he’s negotiating with are so dumb it makes it seem like 4D chess. And he DOES do a lot of conditional branching and thinking a couple of moves ahead. That’s how he avoided the entire national intelligence apparatus moving against him in the campaign.

I know “fake news” when I see it and this is definitely FAKE NEWS.

It doesn't matter if it is true or not nor whether it gets found out or not. Once you ring that bell it sticks in memories. Make the frame of the picture out shine the picture. Master manipulating of human minds is called propaganda.

The maximum number who were actually carried into the country as toddlers-in-arms is likely in the low-five figures.

That is the number that actually signed up for DACA, there are a lot more that did not need to sign up because they were not of working age, or were scared to give up their info because the program was suppose to be temporary.

There would not be an illegal DACA program if we had an opposition party that sued to stop this in 2012.

This was appealed and it made it all the way to SCOTUS where they ruled DACA is an illegal order issued by Obama. So why is this program even continued or talked about. This is settled law that DACA is illegal to carry out.
