Trump is letting these pukes plwy him on this issue. To my surprise it’s the one issue he’s not doing well on
Trump does have an unorthodox style to negotiation, which appears to be very effective. Right now, however, I do not see how he wins this battle.
They are YOUR reps. Stop looking for Trump to magically do what their supposed voters are not all that interested in doing themselves.
I think he is giving the GOPe and Democrats and RINOs a way to authorize and fund the border wall - repeal DACA.
Now, he has somethings with which to negotiate. He is putting ALL the BS back on Congress, which is where it should be! Now they can’t play hide the weenie with each other and then expect the President to help coddle them with some backdoor amnesty-like DACA program.
I could actually deal with amnesty, but only under a few SPECIFIC, TIMELINE ACTUATED CIRCUMSTANCES:
1) Build the wall - NOW! Anything less and the answer is NO!
1) Enforce ALL immigration laws currently on the books - NOW! Anything less and the answer is NO!
1) STOP ALL IMMIGRATION for at least 24 months - PERIOD! Only those currently in the system (not even written applications, only those who have had their initial interviews, etc...) will continue during those 24 months! No “hard ship”, “relatives” or any damn thing else - NONE...for 24 months!
1) Upon completion of the wall and enforcement of the laws, including HAMMERING anyone who hires an illegal, then new job-based and America-needs based immigration laws need to be put into place.
2) Then, and ONLY then, will we look at giving any current illegal immigrant a method to amnesty.
a) NO CRIMINAL RECORD AT ALL - NONE AT ALL - PERIOD!
a) Only those OVER 20 years of age.
a) If within military service age, they MUST do six years in the U.S. Military (don’t graduate boot camp or fail out of the military in less than six years - NO AMNESTY).
a) No sponsorship immigration from those given amnesty - PERIOD!
a) They must pay back taxes (for all years they have been in the U.S. - payment plans allowed.
a) A PENALTY FEE for each year they spent illegally in America.
That’s where any and ALL immigration laws should start - in my opinion!
Kevvie Wevvie is a flaming POS. period.
I actually commented to my husband while watching him. I said, “Look at how he’s grinning with that phony happy face!”
“Trump is letting...”
What’s the alternative armchair POTUS?
