With criticism coming from Democrats aimed at the Trump administration over spending on a border wall and border security, President Donald Trump tweeted rips of "ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws," called for the Senate to go "nuclear" to "pass tough laws now," and vowed "no more DACA deal" on Sunday.
Stopping before walking into church on Easter Sunday, President Trump echoed his tweets.
"Mexico has got to help us at the border, and a lot of people are coming in because they want to take advantage of DACA," Trump told reporters as broadcast on "MSNBC Live."
President Trump tried and failed to fund his estimated $25-26 billion border wall and border security plan in the $1.3 trillion omnibus passed last month by leveraging it against a permanent solution for the Obama-era DACA program.
DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, allows benefits and protections for children who were illegally brought to the U.S. by adults but gives no official U.S. citizenship status. It was a program started by former President Barack Obama under an executive order. President Trump called for the expiration of the order to force Congress to create a permanent solution. The president’s actions have been blocked by courts.

There is more to it than that—Trump has spent a year crowing about how compassionate he is and how he will do more to help the DACA thugs than the Dems will. But I am glad he seems to have reversed course again.
There should be no DACA.
It was illegal from inception.
If we had an opposition party they would have stopped it before it started in 2012.
The GOP refused to sue.
This reminds me of the scene in the Penguin’s office in the “Blues Brothers”. Jake offered to help, the offer was refused, and then he said “Well I guess you’re really up s#it creek!”
Trump offered to help the Dems with any DACA bill they brought him. They refused his help. So now I’d say they’re really up s#it creek.
Now he can declare a national emergency (illegals, drugs, criminals, etc) and use his power as the chief executive to use all available means needed to secure the border.
The Democrats get nothing. If they try to get some looney-tune judge to stop him, there’s only 200+ years of historical precedent of the Potus using executive authority to enforce our borders.
in that invasion caravan....CNN will find a starving child, old ladies that need medicine, and a 4 year old that needs a life saving kidney transplant and report on it 24/7...then say how evil Trump is..

Get the military on the border.
Is our president so naive as to think McConnell and the other Republicans are going to do anything about this? Nuclear option, my foot. Why is he tweeting for them to do something when this is a matter of national security - well within his power to take action. He should never have signed that omnibus bill. He and we got suckered.
Of course we need the military on the border. We’re being invaded.
With President Trump offering a deal for more than what the dims wanted and their refusing the offer, how can you not expect a retaliation?
With that happening at least twice, how can anyone claim that, just on a whimsy, he decided to be strong against DACA?
Add to that the fiasco that is descending upon us on the Mexican border. AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT DID NOT EXPECT THAT?
When things change, you ADAPT. I can’t blame him for changing his mind. Circumstances change and you adapt.
EXACTLY!
You are correct. This is all aimed at a grand media driven confrontation at the border with wall to wall coverage and embedded reporters with the invader mob. The caravan needs to be stopped well short of the border by any means necessary short of shooting all of them on camera.
“He knows if the 1,500 come through the next wave will be 150,000.”
Modern crusades to a Holy Land. (flowing with milk, honey and welfare)
They aren't planning to storm the border. They'll walk up to the door and ask for asylum.
By law they get a hearing and we'll take them in until they do.
A wall won't make any difference in this case - new laws from Congress might.
Need Kennedy and RBG to retire
Then nuke in 2 pro-2nd Amendment, pro-Constitution (as it stands) and overall pro-Bill of Rights SC justices.
Nuke them in ASAP, when possible.
Our President calls Jerry Brown 'Moonbeam' just like us.
This caravan of illegals calls themselves "Migrantes en la lucha" ("Migrants in the Fight") organized about a month ago by a mysterious group Pueblo Sin Fronteras (People Without Borders) who declare "We want to become one, supporting us shoulder to shoulder and show that together we can break down borders".
Here's their Facebook page:

Note they're organized out of Chicago.
1. Question: how can this event be construed as anything other than an invasion pointed directly at the US sovereign border?
2. Question: if these 'refugees' are in such peril in their homeland, why are the Mexicans not giving them asylum?
3. Question: Pope Francis who has often shown sympathy for such refugees, why doesn't he use the vast Vatican wealth to arrange a ship to bring them to Rome?
No need to shoot them all.
The first 40 - 50 should do the trick.
Odd how 95% of the horde are robust-looking males--although the scarce women with babe in arms are favored by the media photogs.
Much like the earlier European migration that put immense pressure on Germany, this bold South American army is a direct, unambiguous challenge to our sovereign borders.
The European onslaught may have overwhelmed and weakened Germany's Merkel, but a strong, militant defense of our American border against the advancing horde is right in President Trump's wheelhouse.
Why is he tweeting for them to do something when this is a matter of national security - well within his power to take action
Trump is tweeting about it because Twinkle Toes Mattis won’t support him on The Wall. Deep State DOD will fight him every bit as hard on this as the DOJ does on FBIgate.
