Javanka strikes again.
What choice does he have. The courts have stopped his efforts. A smart program designed to deal with this dilemma must happen. One that will discourage something like this happening again.
I am with you at post 8. He has been pretty good on immigration and there is a core DACA group that will never be deported. What choice do we have but to trust him? I think there is a political calculation here, but taking him at his word he said SCOTUS empowered him to do “this”.
I doubt that. Surely he knows that he can’t win reelection without the support of his base, especially nowadays. We only just heard of this, IMO we should wait and see what the full story is.
The courts will stop anything for happening the right way. Another plan must be worked out.
This reminds me of Bush, in the run up to 2006. Pimping amnesty and losing big.
I wonder .
How many Trump supporters did he lose with this Javanka idea ?
There is another plan. It’s called the legal immigration system.
Amnesty begets more amnesty.
The 1986 amnesty with no enforcement is why we have 30+ million illegal aliens.
Anyone remember what his original proposal was before the Dems decided not pass immigration reform? I know it had citizenship for DACA people but had some good stuff in it too.
I hope it means “I’M TAKING CARE OF DACA" = deportation.
"WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A ROAD TO CITIZENSHIP”" = legal naturalization process, like *legal* immigrants.
They are still illegal aliens."
Exactly.
That's the maddening part of this crap.
An "executive order" can NOT grant citizenship to anyone, let alone a foreign national in our country illegally.
Only the congress has the power of naturalization.
Drives me nuts the level of civics ignorance in this country. Guess that's to be expected when the schools are churning out students who are taught to hate the country, rather than to learn our form of government, our culture, etc.
How can these DACA folks become citizens and vote before Nov. 3rd?
Trump is smart; he will combine this EO of hope/plan for citizenship with a bill after his re-election to provide a reasonable compromise for reaching citizenship without rounding up and deporting all these people...
Most of them are socially conservative and can find a home under Trump...
If he does it right, he can bring a good percentage of them over to the GOP...
It could also be the lying foreign media, trying to hurt Trump.
Nuts. Amnesty always brings in destruction. Why do this and expect future immigration control if we won’t enforce current law.
No way DjT would concede this point to Ds without something in return, (become proficient in English, for example) just to bait the Ds and prohibit it from passing.
They’ll object at something commonsensical and will be roasted from now til Nov.
that’s my guess. I think he knows a blanket amnesty costs him a part of his base. He has, however, been sympathetic to DACA peeps who’ve been here forever and know no life in Mexico.

Trying to please someone, just not his base.
He simply has to stick the wall in it or deportation and they will reject the entire bill.
It is changed a little from his campaign stance. "They all have to go back and get in line." Oh well.........
