White House proposes path to citizenship for 1.8 million people
CNN ^

Posted on 01/25/2018 2:19:04 PM PST by janetjanet998

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is proposing giving 1.8 million young undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship in exchange for $25 billion for his long-promised wall and a host of other strict immigration cuts, according to a framework proposed Thursday. The outlines of the deal were described by a White House official for staff on Capitol Hill that CNN was given access to on Thursday afternoon. In what the White House official called a "dramatic concession," Trump would accept a path to citizenship for not just those originally eligible for DACA but for a broader population, adding up to 1.8 million people, the official said.

From another article:

But the plan — drafted by Stephen Miller, the president’s hard-line domestic policy adviser and John F. Kelly, the White House chief of staff — was immediately rejected by Democrats, pro-immigration activists and some Republicans, with some describing it as nothing but a heartless attempt to rid the country of immigrants and slam shut the nation’s borders.

Yep, as I suspected - meant to show the Dems are not interested in border security.

I am fine with giving amnesty for true DACA qualifiers. Offer them legal status, just not citizenship. All the while getting $25 billion for a wall ? Heck yeah.

"The fundamental problem is that citizenships/naturalizations cannot be taken back once they are done..."

Might want to check on this one again.

In return, the White House would like to see a $25 billion investment in a trust for border infrastructure and technology, as well as more funds for personnel, and an end to family migration beyond spouses and minor children. The diversity visa lottery would also be abolished, with those visas going to work through a backlog

I think we will have to support this. But we need to also eliminate the incentives to stay to get the others to self-deport. Not just e-verify, but also a cultural change to stop people from hiring them.

The deportation advocates don't seem to have a plan for that. Send buses to the barrio? My plan is simple, encourage self-deportation of as many as possible by setting up a work permit system for the rest. Then if you see a lawn mower, he better have a work permit.

Why did they cut $33 billion to $25? Who won the #SchumerShutdown again? I’m beginning to wonder.

This isn’t a surprise. It’s pretty much what Trump has discussed.

The rest of the proposal is ending chain migration and the lottery.
