Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer will meet President Donald Trump this afternoon to talk about a 2018 budget deal, and he will have to repeat or revoke the Democrats’ unpopular threats to block the 2018 budget if Republicans reject his unpopular amnesty for 3 million ‘dreamers.’ The meeting puts Schumer in the awkward position pushing a debate strategy that he denounced loudly in 2013. Back then, Schumer blasted efforts by the GOP to extract Obamacare concessions before accepting the federal budget and insisted that Democrats would not hold up a federal budget to push their immigration priorities. He told ABC’s This Week:
Speaker [John] Boehner comes in [the negotiation room] and he says, basically, it’s sorta like this … [He] goes into your house, takes your wife and children hostage, and then says ‘Let’s negotiate over the price of your house.’ You know, we could do the same thing on immigration. We believe strongly in immigration reform. We could say ‘We’re shutting down the government, we’re not gonna raise the debt ceiling, until you pass immigration reform.’ It would be governmental chaos.

President Trump, you were elected to build the wall, deport ALL the illegals and ban muslim immigration. There’s no room for compromise! It’s time the American government works for the American people, NOT foriegners.
#AmericaFirst
Wonder if POTUS has access to what’s on Weiners computer. AW and Schummer were best friends until AW plea bargained. TIme for the Schumer closet to open.

“President Trump, you were elected to build the wall, deport ALL the illegals and ban muslim immigration. There’s no room for compromise! It’s time the American government works for the American people, NOT foriegners. #AmericaFirst”
Ditto that.
Democrats and establishment Republicans have been holding America hostage by refusing to do anything for the sake of border enforcement until some kind of amnesty for illegals is passed. Their mantra is “legalize the ones who are here, and then maybe we might consider keeping others out.” Of course, they know full well that legalizing our current infestation of illegals is basically an open invitation for any and all in the future.
““President Trump, you were elected to build the wall, deport ALL the illegals and ban muslim immigration. There’s no room for compromise! It’s time the American government works for the American people, NOT foriegners. #AmericaFirst””
While I agree on the principle, I might go a different route. “Chuck, you want DACA, I want a wall. Give me full funding for the wall and your caucus 100% backing and at different points of wall construction “25%, 50%, 75%” I will open up statusing DACA recipients.”
DACA without a wall is worse than nothing and those illegals aren’t going anywhere en masse.
“...will open up statusing DACA recipients...”
Your negotiation theoretical scenario makes sense to me: I would add:
No chain migration for family members, etc.would be allowed. At all.
Chuck: Suuuurrree Donald you can have your wall
Liberal group finds federal judge who finds the wall will harm the New Mexico Sand Lizard, Wall Construction stops.
Liberals take back the house: All Wall funding stops.
DACA kids bring in the relatives and breed like cockroaches. Texas, North Carolina and Georgia go permanently blue
Send them home
It is time some takes Sen. Chuck Schumer to it’s vet and have it put down.
