On the Feb 8 vote for DACA , the senate Will easily vote cloture on the filibuster. They need just 9 RINOS— easy. There are many more than the necessary votes to now pass DACA. I expect DACA to easily pass the Senate and the House. I expect the wall and all of our immigration proposals are finished.McConnell stabbed us in the back on purpose.

Make them really filibuster; it might get a few of them out of the way. If they have to stay up 24/7 talking to obstruct. They will provide wonderful campaign ad materials or back down.

If they do shut down again, start by laying off everyone involved in the Obamacare committees. Then move on to layoffs in the EPA and continue as necessary.

I don’t think he is in the position to make that offer

Politically Trump should not separate DACA from the rest of the universe of illegals and tell Schumer he will sit down with him when he is ready to discuss wall, chain migration and visa lottery for the entire illegal universe. We know there is polled support among the American public for these things while at the same time they want a DACA fix. This puts the ball in the Dem court with DACA illegals pressuring Schumer to come to the table before their time runs out while at the same time there is public support to end chain migration and the visa lottery.

I don’t think they can get it through the House unless Ryan also stabs US in the back and uses Dem votes to pass it. It is possible as that is exactly what they were going to do the day after Cantor’s primary in 2014 to pass Rubio’s amnesty.
We threw a monkey wrench into that plan by Cantorizing the weasel Eric Cantor.
Trump will veto any egregious amnesty bill that does nothing about enforcement, border security, lottery and chain, etc.
They do not the votes to over ride a veto.

Illegals cost us 383.3 Billion a damn year. Get rid of all of them.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Schumer not only doesn’t know that he’s beaten, he’s coming back for MORE!

Let’s look at the calculus here: DACA is illegal, and Trump nonetheless gave Congress until early March to pass something that WOULD be legal, i.e. he wouldn’t enforce the law against these - ahem - illegal aliens. All that he wanted was some sanity on our immigration policy...”sanity” being rather ironically defined by approximately what the Democrats had as their own national policy about 20 years ago...

...and Schumer won’t give ANYTHING, so DACA is going straight to Hell.

You know, Schumer isn’t actually that stupid - he KNOWS this. Which can ONLY mean that he wants DACA to go down in flames, so that he and the rest of the Dems can use it as a campaign issue. Well, that’s where I simply have to modify my earlier statement that “Schumer isn’t actually that stupid” - because THAT is a losing position. Not within his party, but nationally. This past weekend and his cave-in on Monday proved it. I honestly don’t know what the guy is thinking. He’s in a box of Trump’s creation, and there are no ways out. I just LOVE this!

Some lady on social media posted to me that Schumer did this because Republicans were posting things all over the internet about him and DACA that made Schumer mad and he did this in retaliation. She was talking about my posts and those that agreed with me- not Republican Congress critters or others in power. Just we the people; she wanted us to stop posting about the illegals or DACA. The scary thing is she got tons of likes for her comment.

I told her I thought it was far more likely he did it because illegals were protesting at his house than because of anything little old me posted. She had no idea illegals were protesting at his house. She truly thought I and people that felt like I do should not be posting our opinions or facts because we were fouling up the process!!!

I wish I had that much power! Oh my that would be interesting and dim heads would be exploding. I would make Trump look tame compared to things I would be doing.

I am telling you the media is keeping more from people than they are reporting. Scary, real scary. Not only does the media lie but they decide what is or is not reported to the people. As much information that is out there now and how easy it is to access (most of it) I am shocked that some don’t know even a tiny bit of what is going on.

The rinos better start noticing who’s winning. Mitch needs to fund the wall with 51 votes. But DACA requires 60.

“When McConnell gave Schumer Daca- to reopen the government by a free standing vote after February 8 thus removing all republican leverage for the wall— Schumer took his offer back. What do you expect?”


McConnell only promised that it’d be taken up in the Senate. He didn’t - he CAN’T - speak for the House. Or Donald Trump’s veto pen.

Schumer got NOTHING...why do you think that the uber-Lefties and the invaders are SOOOO ticked at him?

Schumer is trying to save face. Trump may even find him some little thing he can use to do so. The wall funding, ending Visa lottery/chain migration & border security is non negotiable.
