Regardless, they will never vote for him.
Sounds good to me. Just get this issue out of the way and move on.
First they have to leave and wait their turn to come back.
Trump said it would be merit-based, based on skills, English-proficiency
He is taking away an issue from the Left. Remember, he offered a DACA compromise back in Jan 2018 during the shutdown but Pelosi/Schumer said no
His joint presser with OMLO and letting the Goya foods CEO speak just put more Hispanics into his column. The leftist front groups don't speak for all Hispanics, so this boycott will epic fail
Presidents can write their own laws now dontchaknow. Justice Roberts said so. So he is gonna write one.
Finish and enforce The Wall.
President Reagan tried the path of “okay, these guys are here and they can stay, but no more!”, and all it got us was more illegals. I don’t agree with this. Keep working on the wall. When it’s done, boot everyone who’s here illegally.
WTH?
Second major pander in 24 hours!
Guess he wants to lose his base....?
“Is that an executive order?” the anchor asked.
“I’m going to do a big executive order. I have the power to do it as president and I’m going to make DACA a part of it,” Trump responded. “But, we put it in, and we’ll probably going to then be taking it out. We’re working out the legal complexities right now, but I’m going to be signing a very major immigration bill as an executive order, which Supreme Court now, because of the DACA decision, has given me the power to do that.”
Asked whether the executive order would provide temporary relief for DACA recipients, Trump said its scope would be much wider.
“No, what I’m going to do is that they’re going to part of a much bigger bill on immigration. It’s going to be a very big bill, a very good bill, and merit-based bill and it will include DACA, and I think people are going to be very happy,” said Trump.
“But one of the aspects of the bill is going to be DACA. We’re going to have a road to citizenship,” he added.
The comments sparked immediate outrage among conservatives and allies of the administration who have been expecting Trump to rescind DACA following the Supreme Court ruling.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) warned on Twitter that it would be “a HUGE mistake” if Trump were to create a path citizenship via executive order.
Merit based, skilled immigration is a scam, H1Bs are that. Canada has “merit based immigration” and they’re just as bad as we are.
People need to stop falling for this. You’re being lied to.
Move on to becoming North Mexico......./s
How would this be different from Yeb!?
There is ZERO constitutional authority for a President to create a “road to citizenship” by executive fiat.
It was unconstitutional when Obama issued executive amnesty, and it would be a HUGE mistake if Trump tries to illegally expand amnesty. #TellTheSwampNO #RuleOfLaw https://t.co/RLWuCgcNU6— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) July 10, 2020
Unforced error.
That pic of him doing his Elmer Gantry routine is not his best look..
NOTE TO TED: In an interview with Telemundo anchor José Díaz-Balart, Trump blamed Democrats from walking away from a deal on DACA and said the Supreme Court’s decision last month blocking his administration’s plan to end the Obama-era program gave him “tremendous power.”
