Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is proposing giving 1.8 million young undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship in exchange for $25 billion for his long-promised wall and a host of other strict immigration cuts, according to a framework proposed Thursday. The outlines of the deal were described by a White House official for staff on Capitol Hill that CNN was given access to on Thursday afternoon. In what the White House official called a "dramatic concession," Trump would accept a path to citizenship for not just those originally eligible for DACA but for a broader population, adding up to 1.8 million people, the official said.

It’s on FOX too
But the plan — drafted by Stephen Miller, the president’s hard-line domestic policy adviser and John F. Kelly, the White House chief of staff — was immediately rejected by Democrats, pro-immigration activists and some Republicans, with some describing it as nothing but a heartless attempt to rid the country of immigrants and slam shut the nation’s borders.
Yep, as I suspected - meant to show the Dems are not interested in border security.
I am fine with giving amnesty for true DACA qualifiers. Offer them legal status, just not citizenship. All the while getting $25 billion for a wall ? Heck yeah.
Might want to check on this one again.
The Democrats will never go for this.
I think we will have to support this. But we need to also eliminate the incentives to stay to get the others to self-deport. Not just e-verify, but also a cultural change to stop people from hiring them.
The deportation advocates don't seem to have a plan for that. Send buses to the barrio? My plan is simple, encourage self-deportation of as many as possible by setting up a work permit system for the rest. Then if you see a lawn mower, he better have a work permit.
Let’s see what McConnell and Schumer come up with.
Why did they cut $33 billion to $25? Who won the #SchumerShutdown again? I’m beginning to wonder.
This isn’t a surprise. It’s pretty much what Trump has discussed.
Trump WH dumps a Trial Baloon

Burn up the WH lines tonight and Friday and call your Reps .
No more Annesty for law breakers .
Trump fell for a Fake Crisis that Obama set up and no one cares but the Dem Media !
How the Hell do we win midterms and 2020 if we set up
5 million new Dem Voters .
These 1.8 can drag over millions with them !
It’s beyond Stupid .
I am fed up with betrayal !
Make them an offer they will never accept.
They put illegals over the American people..again.
Cue mid term 2018 ads..
No left wing judge would allow that to stand a day .
The rest of the proposal is ending chain migration and the lottery.

We sent men to the freakin moon and we can’t deport 25million!? We must be an inept country. Bullshite we can’t deport 25 million!
We have all kinds of people in this country with legal status and not having citizenship.
Which FULLY DIFFERED from what he ran on!
He could sign an EO to end this charade TOMORROW. In fact he could have signed it day one!
Yes and taking jobs we “Americans” won’t do.
