I give Trump the respect of taking him for his words and actions on this. You can make up ulterior motives if you’d like, but there isn’t a basis for tying such imaginations to Trump.
And of course, you can and will believe whatever you prefer.
I note that immigration law is the domain of the House and Senate.Trump has rightly placed it back where it belongs. I applaud this choice.
They may or may not have enough votes to pass a bill. This is how our system works.
Trump has placed this in the middle of the primary voting season. It will be an issue. You have a right to vote (or not to vote) for candidates who hold your position. This is how our system works.
Trump may or may not sign it. This is how our system works.
Trump may be overridden, if he vetoes the bill. This is how our system works.
In any case, at this moment, Trump took actions that are in line with the Constitutional dividing of powers, ended Obama's overreach, and prevented any new applicants.
Now, you can go to the polls, if you vote. We'll see what happens.
I personally like the strategery.
