Strengthen law enforcement by hiring 10,000 100,000 more ICE officers and 300 3,000 Federal prosecutors.

Your post was perfect, except for two minor errors in this one bullet point. I corrected it for you. :-)

I disagree. They will NEVER agree to a wall, no matter what! Trump knows it and is squeezing them slowly. He’ll probably stipulate even more of his agenda for keeping the Dreamers or whatever. I predict the gubmint will shutdown, the dreamers will never get citizenship, and the R’s gain seats in 2018. Last time the gubmint shutdown R’s gained seats. Trump knows it and he will dog the dimwits until election day. This is what winning looks like!

Trump should hold a press conference and taunt the democrats, if they shut down the government, over their action of putting the welfare of illegals above the welfare of Americans. Let them ride it out until November.

"I’m with James Woods: no DACA in any form or as any currency for border security. No mas! I agree, but if the prize was big enough to end chain migration and the lottery and there was a physical barrier, etc., I'll feel it was a reasonable trade-off. Also, the law-breakers who brought them here need to leave and never have citizenship.

My “Dream” Act:

Everyone here illegally must report for a Federal ID for tax and ID purposes. They must be fingerprinted, and DNA tested, at the expense of said person.

That ID must be plainly marked that the person is not eligible to vote, receive any public benefits, is not eligible for Social Security, any student or other government loan, is not eligible for federal jobs, nor military service, and is never entitled to US citizenship.

No child of an illegal or “Dreamer” shall become a US Citizen, even when born on American soil.

Further, that person must be fully insured for medical, and must pass an English test after 2 years of being granted said ID.

Person with such ID will be deported upon any felony conviction.

Person without such ID after national grace period of three months to obtain one, shall be immediately fined and deported.

If said person is caught registering to vote or has voted, it should be a $25000 fine, 5 years imprisonment, and immediate deportation upon release from prison.

Person with such ID is forbidden to display or otherwise promote their country’s symbols.

Person with such ID my be removed for displaying anti-American sentiments, participating in anti-American demonstrations, rioting, and anti-social behavior.

Person with such ID being found to belong to any “gang” is subject to immediate deportation.

If Dreamer does not comply with any of those, and cannot show proof of medical insurance, they should be immediately deported.

Come on Trump!/Rinos! Get with the program!!!

One of them is that jerk Lankford from OK. Wish I still lived there so I could light up his office phones. I voted against him in the primary, because I knew he was a RINO.

10 of them will agree. And it only takes 9.

10 of them are from states won by Trump.

Once the first 3 or 4 go public, and they will, it’ll be a tsunami.

Best way to get the dems to vote funds for a wall is to have the government post a fake poll that finds that 80 percent of illegals that are ultimately granted citizenship consistently vote republican with 3 years of attaining citizenship. Not only would Dems fund a wall but they would be screaming for troops, drones and live fire at the border.

If we had an opposition party they would have sued and stopped DACA in 2012 and we would not even be talking about this.
The states sued and stopped the second illegal amnesty, DAPA, for the parents who brought the DACA recipients here.

The GOP wants amnesty too.
Only a few GOP Senators are not Bush League Republicans beholden to the Cheap Labor Express.

He literally take side with illegals over his own countrymen

--------------------------

Of course he takes the side of illegals over US working people.

Ted Kennedy changed the focus of the DemoRats back in 1965 from working class people to immigrants and minorities. The union bosses still clung to the corrupt DemoRats of the past, attempting to influence elections in the direction which lined their pockets. But we can see that unholy alliance is finally failing with the election of a tough, clear thinking president who recognizes the damage done to our nation when focus is on recruiting cheap new unskilled foreign workers over US citizens in the working class.

Big business wants the cheap labor and the DemoRats want the new voters. A large majority of the DemoRat politicos don't give a damn about these new poor recruits to their party. They represent money and power for this strange alliance.

If you could guarantee it doesn’t become a free pass to their entire family—which I don’t think you could with the courts—maybe I’d accept it for a wall, an end to chain migration, etc. It’d be a bitter pill. But, I believe it will set a precedent and ten years from now, you’d need another amnesty for the people entering right now who “Have been here ten years and have never known anything else!” It never ends.

--------------------

1) The wall should be funded and built before DACA gets anything.

I completely agree with point #2. JAIL TIME for bosses on multiple levels from the top down for conscious violators of e-verify. Big business uses outside employment services to skirt many labor protections but every business should be held accountable to verify citizenship or green card status of their workers. If they are paying that person directly or indirectly they are responsible for their status.

Completely agree with 3). Chain migration must be specifically addressed by legislation with repudiation for the activist judges who continuously flaunt the intentions of the legislature with their social welfare notions. Maybe some of these activist judges deserve impeachment if they knowingly contradict the new legislation?

The president has a mandate from the US citizens who elected him. Defense of the homeland must always be a priority even if the DemoRats have alligator tears in their eyes. From a safety and security standpoint the dream weavers have no leg to stand on. If they can not meet the merit based requirements for immigration they should be deported.
