in other words, "I got mine."

Many of the so-called Dreamers worried about their immigration status are starting to reconsider their opposition to a possible wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a report Friday from the San Francisco Chronicle.
President Donald Trump’s wall at the border wouldn’t be so bad, some groups are now saying, so long as it means citizenship for the nearly 700,000 people brought into the country through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
“If building a wall leads us to having citizenship, then I’m all for it,” Ana Rodriguez, who works at a daycare center in California, told reporters at the Chronicle. “The U.S. is what I know and that’s where I want to live my life — I want to be a part of it in full.”
Rodriguez and others like her are arguing about accepting a trade-off — giving Trump his wall in exchange for retaining DACA. The Trump administration proposed a bill earlier this month offering citizenship to 1.8 million illegal immigrants in exchange for $25 billion for a border wall.
Activist organizations have also noted that DACA recipients are making recalculations about their opposition. Marissa Montes, co-director of the Loyola Immigrant Justice Clinic in Los Angeles, noticed in recent weeks that they are sounding more and more likely to back a wall in exchange for citizenship.
“It’s coming from a point of exhaustion — they’ve tried everything,” Montes told reporters. “Their instinct is survival and as human beings, how much longer can they endure this? They’re ping-ponging back and forth.”

Recent polling shows Hispanics are evenly split on whether to combine a DACA deal to the building of a wall — 42 percent of Hispanics oppose it and 42 percent support it, according to the Quinnipiac poll conducted Jan. 18.

President Trump with authority is speaking truth to perceived power. Critical thinking minds understand. They also understand truth and conservatism. MAGA!
“Trump is changing the narrative on virtually everything. Old memes are falling by the wayside.”
“All it took was someone with the balls to do it.”
That is exactly right. Not kinda right or “close”. That is exactly correct in every way possible.
Trump is exposing the fact the Dems won’t trade a wall for citizenship for DACA and he drives a wedge between the Dems and those who support DACA illegal aliens.
“... written essay in English showing proficiency in our official language ...”
The school libs will give them a diploma no matter whether they are proficient or not—that’s a fact!! They are doing it now, so why would they change.
in other words, "I got mine."
I knew this would happen. President Trump: Keep driving that wedge deeper and deeper. Follow it up with a FISA stake in the heart of the democrat party.
Trump is calling their bluff.
"I'll give you everything"
, but the Nancy boys can't abide.
they fall into the trap and reject what they've been selling.
over and over...
Send our Illegal prisoners back to country of origin.
Pay the country a portion of our current incarceration costs.
Not a thing for the Nightmares until wall construction is 100% complete.
Not authorization. Not funding.
Built.
ILLEGAL ALIENS, SUPPORTERS OF SAME:
Arriving a tad late to the party, eh? POTUS DJT rescinded that proposal just days ago.
Try to be more punctual.
The border invasion will get worse.
I would expect that DACA kids would agree to a wall to stay but would they agree to getting rid of chain migration and sending their parents home or preventing them from migrating here? That to me is the bigger issue
Since almost every one of them uses a Social Security number and probably NONE of those Social Security number are real ALL are federal felons. That just about brings the curtain down on this evil donkey stunt. Only a handful will actually qualify and be able to vote Democrat 12 years from now if there is a Democrat party left for them to support.
Trump has brilliantly out maneuvered Schumer and Plastic Face.
If Trump has put something on the table, then it is on the table. You don’t lay out a deal that you are not willing to sign onto. That is the art of the deal. If he is proposing it, then he is willing to sign off on it.
This suggests that Trump is driving a wedge between Dem leadership, which wants a steady stream of compliant voters, and actual DACA beneficiaries, who simply want to continue to benefit from living in the States. The former would never approve of a wall, whereas the latter really ought not to care.
Yep. Soon DACA “kids” will be rioting at Dem Congresscritter offices demanding they accept Trump’s deal. Popcorn time. The Dem base will be in disarray right in the run up to the midterms. LOL. The kenyan is about to learn he isn’t the only one who can “community organize”.
This fails to mention the other items he insists on: the end to chain migration and the immigration lottery.
The Dreamer expects to view the Heart of the Country
from The Back Seat of My Car!
Everyone I know who applied for citizenship spent 7+10 years in the process, that and a few hundred dollars, not your “1-2 years,”
