President Donald J. Trump returned to Twitter today in typical fashion after a quick trip overseas for the World Economic Forum. President Trump jumped right back into the debate over the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program (DACA), accusing Democrats of not actually wanting to solve the problem.
I have offered DACA a wonderful deal, including a doubling in the number of recipients & a twelve year pathway to citizenship, for two reasons: (1) Because the Republicans want to fix a long time terrible problem. (2) To show that Democrats do not want to solve DACA, only use it!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 28, 2018
Last September, President Trump rescinded former President Obama’s executive order which shielded more than 800,000 illegal immigrants from deportation because they were brought into the country as children. In an effort to curb executive overreach and shift responsibility back in the hands of the legislative branch, Trump gave Congress a six month ultimatum to fix the DACA issue. If the Senate and the House cannot come up with an agreement that Trump can sign, he will deal with the issue himself. That deadline is quickly approaching in March.
In another tweet, President Trump also claimed tat Democrats are not interested in "Border Safety & Security" but only in "obstruction."
Democrats are not interested in Border Safety & Security or in the funding and rebuilding of our Military. They are only interested in Obstruction!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 28, 2018
It is unclear what deal will be reached between the two sides, but Washington Times columnist and Fox News contributor Charles Hurt echoed similar sentiments to the White House today, saying that the current plans before Congress are by far the "most centrist immigration" plan in more than 30 years.

He’s sure right on that. They thought they could hold all these people hostage as a votimg base. Trump wants to solve it, they don’t.
It’s unconstitutional period....
The Dems have a few things they like to bring up over and over again but never solve ,they think it will win elections
I am a super genius.
The democratics don’t want to solve anything.
I think the correct solution is for them and their parents to return to their sh*thole of origin. They can request to enter the country legally once they are out.
super
The demonRATs want to solve the illegal immigration problem as much as the palastinians want to recognize the right of Israel to exist.
...at the back of the line
The solution is the restoration of the rule of law.
End the illegal DACA program.
Remove illegal aliens.
Vigorously enforce the laws.
Keep families together, in their own country.
Yep. I don’t think it should be an automatic thing. They should be accepted or denied on their merits.
Well-stated, Mister President!
And, completely correct!
And, absolutely everyone (everyone) knows it!

Fly em back... Pronto
...a lottery to break the law...moronic from the POS himself
Truer words never spoken. The very last thing the Democrats want is for this issue to be resolved. They actually want it to get worse - not only policy wise but also for the people they claim they want to help - they need them to be poor and dependent and to be kept poor and dependent. So-called “dreamers” were to be used - yes, used - to flood additional illegal immigrants and future voters into the country and continue the cycle. The border being fully secured and our immigration system fixed can never be part of the deal because the DACA people were never the core issue - they were a means to an end.
Take their decades-long cause of "poverty": their "poverty" industries, employing their own ideological lobbyists and hangers-on would lose their paychecks if the poverty problem, as they perceive it, were solved.
Is that why, instead of employing freedom of individual enterprise solutions which create "jobs"--what conservatives call "free enterprise"--they always go for expanding power to themselves in their high-salaried positions in government, unions and lobbying firms?
