Or will get another amnesty with lots of chest thumping about 3-D chess and Supreme Court picks.
Obama and the Dems had ample chance to resolve this issue IN THEIR FAVOR when they were in power, yet they did not. The author is correct - they want an issue, not a solution.
I thought he already did.
I like the idea and Trump has the guts to do it.
My thought when hearing this is that Trump put that on the table to expose the rats to the DACA people who likely want the deal accepted.
I agree with the premise that dems want an issue. The real question though is how does a government shutdown politically affect the dems vs pubs. I think Trump could deal with a shut government for a while however I don’t think the congressional pubs have the stomach for it.
Thus I suspect some sort of dem/pub deal with amnesty and a figleaf over a down payment on a wall which then lands in Trump’s lap to sign or veto.
The issue is not immigration. It’s illegal aliens.
I refuse to refer to criminal invaders as “immigrants”.
I hope so, I just worry about a future congress cutting off funding for the wall. Need to secure that 25B first! lets not get burned again!
The Republicans call for an up or down vote on legalizing Obama’s DACA program and nothing more. Temporary residency and work permits with no pathway to citizenship and no amnesty for their parents. The democrats will all vote against it so it cannot get the 60 votes necessary to pass the Senate.
The democrats can then explain to their illegal alien constituents whey they voted to deport them.
ping!
I LOVE the sound of that.
Pass the DAUCA - Dreamers And Unborn Children’s Act. Tie Dreamers to ending abortion. Non-separable legislation. All or nothing.
Then let the Dems figure out who is more important - women or illegals.
As though the maggots don't already have a lock on the wetback 'constituency' ?
Hope the fools keep doubling down on the Invaders vs Americans tactic !
After reading that DO that was given on January 21st, declaring a State of Emergency, and locking down numerous things, it crossed my mind that with that EO, Trump now has the indisputable authority to nullify DACA, stop ALL immigration, deport whom he pleases, and prosecute Obola for doing DACA in the first place.
Why not? He has done it on everything else.
I don’t like amnesty for anyone. But there will be some type of deal for children of illegals. As long as Trump’s other immigration priorities are fully funded and implemented, I’m OK with that.
One good negotiating technique is getting the opposition to not take ‘yes’ for an answer. Makes clear that what they demand isn’t really what they want.
The Dems' problem is that they know the "no crimes" provision is a poison pill for them. Illegal voting by non-citizens is an important election-winner for them. If Dreamers have something to lose by illegally voting, they are more likely to stay home on election day.
Deport and replace with people already in line who have not had their chance and they are willing to follow laws...pushy lawbreakers can go to the end of the line and wait their turn.
