-> End to the anchor baby scam as well.

Absolutely! This may be our last chance to even voice such requests, since they aren’t even typically mentioned anymore.

Here’s a blast from the past, from former Freeper Sabertooth, regarding what we used to expect around here....

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1053318/posts

1: Eliminate all mention of Section 245(i), even if expired, from the US Immigration and Naturalization Code. No more Amnesty, ever.

2: Get legislation through Congress that would enable States to deny goodies to Illegals, a la Prop #187.

3: Outlaw Mexican matricula consular IDs, and kick banks accepting them out of the FDIC. Legal depositors will withdraw from recalcitrant banks.

4: Beef up Border Security with manpower, resources, and a Volunteer Reserve, if necessary. No troops, and no messing with posse comitatus, this should be a civilian effort.

5: Beef up the immigration courts and set deportation hearings for two weeks after apprehension, with no bail.

6: Run sting operations at day laborer sites.

7: Establish two-way communication between the IRS and Border Security, and start apprehending and deporting Illegals using false SS numbers (no, the current overhyped voluntary program doesn’t count).

8: Seize the assets of businesses knowingly hiring Illegals under the RICO Act, as they are ongoing criminal enterprises. Prosecute executives who knowingly hire Illegals.

9: Compile biometric information on Illegals, and declare that they will be permanently ineligible for immigration and citizenship.

10: If the United States declares that the above proposals against Illegals will be diligently enforced after a certain date, many Illegals will leave beforehand, and a relatively small number of well-publicized cases of enforcement throughout the Lower 48 will result in millions of Illegals deporting themselves.

11: End the busting of immigration caps by limiting family reunification to spouses and dependent children, and counting them against the caps when they are brought in. Require all future immigrants to declare their future intent to bring in family upon arrival. This way, families can immigrate in a controlled, orderly fashion without the current deceptions being used against the American public. We must have truth in immigration.

12: Outlaw anchor babies, and give the option to the Illegal parent of taking the child with them upon deportation, or putting them up for adoption.

13: Outlaw bilingual ballots, and resume the English-speaking requirements for citizenship.

14: Establish English skills as a prerequisite for future immigrants. Let’s start admitting folks who will hit the ground running toward assimilation.

15: Shut off new immigration to nations that offer dual citizenship. Disqualify current immigrants from those nations from future American citizenship.

16: Make Mexico and Central America our cheap import sources of choice with tariffs on manufacturing from other sources, especially China.

17: In return, Mexico must open up to American investment by allowing the sale of real estate to us and guaranteeing property our rights. Getting Mexico to fix its economy is crucial.

18: Establish a guest worker program where an initial bond is posted by the Illegal and his employer, say $500 each, with more withheld from the Illegal’s earnings, as security for his departure from the US by the specified date. Guest worker visas must be applied for in the workers’ countries of origin, and participants are only eligible to be employed by their sponsoring employer. Violation of these terms will render the worker ineligible for any future visas or residence in the US. Any guest worker program can only come after anti-Illegal measures are in place. Handshake promises of future diligence will not be trusted from any politician of either party, including President Bush.
The list abov

Trump the deal-maker in action: Trump proposes something very reasonable in terms of give-and-take, something that will appear VERY reasonable to the vast majority of regular folks, knowing damn good and well that the Dems will reject it, and thereby give Trump the high moral ground and allow him to tar the Dems as unreasonable, uncaring, and obstructionistic.

This is brilliant! Simply brilliant!

It really doesn’t get any better that this ...

It’s no deal .

Let's hope this was a one time, best offer, that the Democrats will regret not taking, and not Trump's first offer in good faith, from which he will eventually have to offer more.

If Chucky U. Schumer figures what you figure he takes this purported deal. If Chuck shoots it down then his demographic math will be different than yours.

They can rewrite any law Trump wrote . They will break the 60 vote rule .

This won't happen in 2018 election. DUh Dems will lose seats this November. DUh Dems would also get Trump vetoes. Not going happen any time soon.

No one can predict the future but a Daca Amnesty before 18 midterms
won't be pretty .

Trump ran on stop the D.C. sell out Gop platform and once he grants Amnesty to
Millions then its over .

The media will crucify him .

Daca. amnesty is trump falling for a fake Obama PR Media narrative.

There is nothing to fix .

Let those invaders swing in the wind like they always have .

The 4 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state can ‘get’ to anyone. Trump knows what his base wants...

It’ll be obvious if he goes against them on this issue.

Trump could offer full citizenship to all ~15 million illegals, chain migration, lottery immigration, and zero deportations in return for a border wall and security and the Democrats would reject it. The issue here is not the issue.

People can’t see forest for the trees. With a fully funded wall and the end to chain migration Democrats can’t let this pass.

Rep King of Iowa warned that Trump was going wobbly on Daca Amnesty a week ago .

The Trump WH is full of Serious Globalists like Jared , Ivanka , Kelly , and
Cohn.
I suspect Miller was out voted .

This is a trial balloon floated by the WH .
They want a reaction .

We need to give them one .

This would be a law passed by congress, not an executive order that can be changed by EO of the next Dem president. It would be an amazing accomplishment if it can be passed. So many republicans want everything or nothing and so we usually get nothing. Dems operate like a ratchet, moving forward, sometimes pausing, but never moving back. This would actually be a move back for them. PDJT won’t give something for a phony promise of something in the future. Even Reagan fell for that.

Rigorously enforce current law for two years and then open discussions.

excellent point, I just realized that if American parents give birth to a baby outside the US, that child is still a US citizen - eligible to run for president. Then why is it that the RATS want to make it so that if Mexican parents give birth to a baby in the US, that baby is a US citizen? Hmmmmm.
