I wonder if the rats knew in advance that they would be televised. Nope.

Steny Hoyer looked like he swallowed a jar full of sour pickles, especially when the POTUS said the wall was not up for negotiation.

Another aspect is the dem's base doesn't want them working with Trump, on ANYthing. Not speaking with him, not seen around him, even being in the same room with him - zip! Zero! Nothing! Just totally stonewalling. And there was the President optimistically remarking about how positive it is for everyone to meet and work together. I can imagine thousands of lefties screaming at their TV and smartphone screens NoOoOoOoOo!!! - WHAT ARE YOU DOING.... - TRAITORS!!! - #RESIST!#RESIST! Heh Heh - heat from every direction.

Watched it.....AWESOME.....GENIUS!....last time the little dem pukes were a no show.
Trump again outfoxes, outflanks them.
This time...they had to swallow broken glass and force themselves to sit at a table with name tags in place...MSM present throughout.
Durbin and Hoyer were doing their best to sulk in order to demonstrate to their base just exactly how pissed off they were.
They contributed nothing.
Trumps’ content was remarkable.

I heard they were all caught by surprise. Lol

It was pretty clear that the Democrats strategy is to ask for DACA now, without any provision for real border security, eliminating chain migration, and the Diversity Lottery system. They promise that if they get that, then they will give the President and Republicans border security LATER.
Same old lies. Same old head fake.

Made Michael "Trump is Unfit for Office" Wolff looked like the idiot he is. Too bad he's going to get rich off his Fake Book sales.

“Heard Trump say that he would insist on the word merit being a part of any immigration reform including DACA... That could really limit even Dreamer legalization!”
Yes it could. Bigly.
First off, DACA is a subset of dreamers (800K out of several million). DACA is a very well defined, discrete list of individuals, by name. Dreamers is a broad, weakly defined category. Millions of additional people could potentially attempt to enter in the future, through whatever window is defined as open for “Dreamers”.
If we move to a merit based immigration system, some of the DACA folks would be excellent candidates (healthy young adults, fluent in English with good education/skills, who pay taxes have no criminal record and use no welfare). They would be reasonable recruits to legalize, or flat out give green cards anyway.
At least half of the DACA folks are NOT good candidates under a merit based system. We need to bar those with criminal records, have gang associations (including tattoos) or who are functionally illiterate. We would be wise to further bar those with weak English language skills or medical issues.
Also, if you have merit criteria and no more chain migration, then the DACA folks who are accepted do not bring other family members with them, who don’t meet the standards (old, sick, illiterate, unskilled, welfare recipients, or those with criminal histories - such as the parents who violated the law to bring the DACA folks in).

They contributed nothing.
Sitting like bumps on logs, heard babbling & stuttering, and I had to remark,
those are the geniuses running this country? And it's Trump that's supposed to be the dumb and goofy one? At least one guy came somewhat prepared, reading off a list of talking points that Trump casually skeet-shot down. Felt like I was watching a special broadcast episode of
The Apprentice, expecting Trump to say, "Okay, that's it! You're all fired!!"

Democrats prefer to work in the dark. Remember Jonathan Gruber?

Too funny and so perfect.
You are so right!!!! He was totally in command and totally in his comfort zone.
Too bad the small problem of the Constitution prevents him from issuing his signature line!

Couldn't help but to make the comparison - it sounded similar to the same kind of groveling contestants would sink into at the end of an episode.

That was 100% obvious. They are not to be trusted.

I think Trump knows exactly what the Dems mean by a “clean” immigration bill. The question is, do they know what he means?

Heard Trump say that he would insist on the word merit being a part of any immigration reform including DACA. Did anyone else catch this? Yes...I caught it
What about e-verify....?...was that mentioned.
In other news ....dims discombobulated, shellacked and electroplated on live TV.
