The only thing I can think of is Trump made this announcement so the Dems would block it in court.... once again, to say the Dems block him on everything. It was never going to entail a mass deportation, just a massive campaign issue.
First, the original effort was leaked in advance by whatshisname (since resigned). When it was disclosed, President Trump pivoted and gave congress two weeks to resolve the border crisis through legislation. President Trump did this so that down the road, he can use executive orders with the reason being that congress failed to act.
Pelosi didn't lift a finger for the entire period. So when the media makes a fuss, and I'm sure they'll end up with footage or photos (real or fake) of illegals getting deported, the President Trump will lay it at the feet of Pelosi and the democrats in the House.
The President got screwed by Ryan for two years, and now he has to play catch-up..and he's playing chess, not checkers.
“The only thing I can think of is Trump made this announcement so the Dems would block it in court.”
Trump makes these announcements for the base. No other reason to make this announcement.
The illegal immigration problem has been going on for 30 years. I believe that most Americans have not known about this problem because the politicians of both parties have swept the problem under the rug. The political establishment in Washington and the states have deceived the people. Most Americans do not understand what a threat it is to our future. When there is any discussion about illegal immigration it is framed in a manner that is favorable to the illegal aliens such as— they are good people, they are poor we must help them, what about the children, we can’t separate families, they are hard working people who do the jobs that Americans do not do. And anyone who tries to warn people about the dangers is portrayed by the media as heartless. This has gone on for many years.
The political leaders and the media do not look out for us. President Trump is the only one who has taken this issue on head on. I believe that a big part of President’s Trump role as leader is to educate the people about the issues. Illegal immigration is a nation killing problem so the President is doing everything he can to keep drawing attention to it contrasting his dedication to protecting our nations borders with the Democrats lies and hypocrisy. President Trump is giving them every opportunity to see what liars the Democrats are.
People sometimes forget that half of the country votes Democrat. They have been very well indoctrinated from their youngest years by their families and the politicians. Notice how the Dem politicians always refer to Republicans as “rich Republicans”? This is mind control. President Trump has to overcome the mind control of the democrat families, schools, politicians and media in order to open the eyes of millions of people. President Trump has to “red pill” millions of people by November 2020.
This is why he is being patient. He knows this is a free republic that is governed by the will of the people. He cannot force anything on people—he must open their eyes.
just a massive campaign issue.
After the first year I realized Trump had become a politician and was using all this as a campaign issue. But boy has he fooled a lot of people. You know, he’s doing the best he can....he’s blocked at every turn....he’s only one man. If he really meant to win on the issue he’d quit talking and tweeting and just do.
