'the president would agree to a sweeping deal to protect young people who were brought to this country without authorization at ages when they had no say over what happened to them.'

The President has already offered DACA several times, including one that was for twice as many people as are currently in the program.
Trump does not oppose DACA, he just wants it written into law.
No.
Actually, it’s a good idea. I know some very decent non-citizens who have lived here for years, never collected welfare, have good, productive children, etc. The problem was years ago with our screwy immigration laws, which only got worse after Obama. In his first month in office, he issued an EO taking off a percentage of the Latin American quota and giving it to people “from Muslim lands,” as he put it. So legitimate Latin American workers couldn’t come in legally but Islamic trrrorists could.
Time to straighten things out.
DACA parasites need to be deported.
$500 a head sounds right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They’re paying coyotes $5,000 to get here.
Not gonna happen.
Trump is not going to trade DACA for an amount of money that will construct not much more than 160 miles of steel barrier. Realistically 5.7 billion is not going to get him much more than that.
Now, if the trade were for, let’s say. 40 or 50 billion, then maybe a DACA trade would be in the cards. But not for a paltry 5 billion.
NO AMNESTY!! ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!
And I don't care what they call it, or what they get in exchange.
No DACA ever!
If he wants to lose most of his base, go for daca amnesty. Kiss 2020 goodbye. Kiss America goodbye
Trump comes out for DACA kids, but the price is more than Dems will pay.
Pins the blame for no DACA deal on the Dems, just like last time.
There was no welfare for anybody, not at the federal level.
The character of immigration then, and now, is not in any way comparable. What we have now, is a complete disgrace, perpetrated and/or allowed by both political parties.
A complete moratorium on any immigration whatsoever is what’s required, didn’t say I liked it. And start deporting the illegals en masse. No birthright citizenship, that is a legal fiction. The list is endless on how fvchd everything is. It’s not an oversight this was and is being done with malice aforethought.
What was the Goodlatte Bill again? Or Trump’s points from last year?
Fund the whole wall ($25B), end chain migration, end the lottery? Go to merit-based immigration criteria?
I guess we critically need asylum reform now as well.
In return for legalizing DACA who meet quality cuts, and more visas for skilled immigrants.
THAT is the prob..plus all the other 1 mil who continue to breach our border via the family unit
Will they be the “unit DREAMERS”?
No amnesty. Now Trump has said he was open to DACA so its possible he would offer that up.
I’d take that. They won’t allow a wall. National emergency will follow shortly.
I would suggest the $500? fee be, by statute, designated to be used only for the wall. Not citizenship but a green card with an annual renewal fee of $250 plus a fee for updated background checks.
daca are still the least bad here in the USA.
NO ! NO ! NEVER !
************************
I agree..lf we do this “camel’s nose in the tent” there will be a never ending and always growing river of “THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN” amnesties
Worth repeating...
Trump has been saying over and over there can be no DACA until the SCOTUS decision on it. Doesn’t anyone pay attention?
The 9th Circus screwed the pooch on this one, that is off the table until they are overturned!
