So many on this thread appear to be in favor of amnesty now.
It’s odd.
I bet if Trump had floated this idea of a wall for amnesty of 1.8 million gringos when he ran, he would have been tossed aside as a fraud.
Yes, a bit of hero worship going on.
Unless he gets everything (wall, expedited removals, end anchor babies and chain migration, end lottery, dramatically lower legal immigration, stricter enforcement for jobs and benefits) in exchange for a very limited and strictly defined (like those already enrolled) amnesty that cannot be widened, we are still losing our country.
“So many on this thread appear to be in favor of amnesty now.“
They have learned from the Republican leaders. Cave at all costs. Cave before you even start negotiating.
If you look at the other side, they never cave. Even when they were losing, even when they are exposed, even when they are embarrassed – they just keep going.
Our side needs to learn from that! We supposedly have principles and convictions and honesty and truth on our side. We have no reason to cave!

And I bet there will be more statues of Trump than Reagan if he manages to end 50 years of chain migration and gets a wall in exchange for amnestying a couple million people ALREADY HERE. This isn’t a tough issue. Sorry.
