White House doubles down after Trump angers base by floating illegal alien deal with Dems
Fox ^ | Fox news

The White House wouldn't rule out working with Democrats despite Trump's '60 Minutes' interview drawing conservative backlash

The White House on Monday morning wouldn't rule out the administration working with Democrats on a "deal" for illegal immigrants who have been living in the U.S. for more than a decade as Republicans prepare to lose control of Congress in January

President Donald Trump, in his first sit-down interview since sweeping GOP midterm losses, opened the door to the possibility of considering amnesty.

"The President never said the word amnesty," a White House official insisted to Fox News Digital.

"We want Democrats to show their cards," the official revealed.

They said, "There has never been a President stronger on immigration enforcement than President Trump."

"Thanks to his efforts more than 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. and we have the most secure border in American history. Like the President has said, he’s willing to work with anyone to improve the lives of Americans and Make America Safe Again."

There will be no deal. Trump is just trying to be reasonable. Democrats don’t want a real deal other than amnesty and citizenship for all.

So if he says non-criminal types of illegals qualify for green card, but no citizenship ever. They will reject it.

Deal is over and democrats look like the ones that don’t want a deal.

Angers his base? His base? You mean the 2 or three “republicans” who actually helped and supported him as opposed to the rest who sat on their asses or worked against him? That base?

“Elections have consequences “ this part makes me nervous. Trump is not an ideologue. He is not a conservative. He does understand economics, tried to reverse the Giant Sucking Sound with his magic wand. He is not a good politician though

Housing too expensive ? Get rid of illegals
Healthcare too expensive? Get rid of illegals
Wage growth stagnant? Get rid of illegals
Schools falling behind ? Get rid of illegals
Too bad Dems are obsessed with White Replacement or they could see how their ideas would work better with less illegals

> Housing too expensive ? Get rid of illegals ...

The only issue I have with your post is that it doesn't go far enough.

Our population has exploded from 150 million last mid century to 350 million now, and we now have the third largest population on the planet.

There must be a total moratorium on all immigration for at least 50 years, or we will become a 3rd world nation within 20.

I’d definitely go for at least 30 years so people can grow up and have kids of their own in America without dealing with “new Americans”.
When Americans start acting like Americans again then we could let a few new people in.

Looks to me like the rats have enough illegals for permanent power. They just flipped Texas with a comfortable margin

I have supported Trump for more than ten years because he promised to deport all illegal aliens. He has the support of 76% of the country, or so we were told, now this???
WTF ???

It’s too bad that the average Democratic voter is basically in a cult. I understand why Dem Leaders want non-whites imported into America for easy votes but it really goes against whatever dem voters actually want,

Yes. My experience is they never question what their leaders do or say they just go along with it all.
