Thank you for passing on the article contents you read. I hadn’t seen that and I’ll be looking for that 3 year extension amendment now. Is the timing because they think that our president WON’T be reelected and it will be an easy sell in 2021?
My opinion - Trump has an excellent chance to be reelected in 2020, but only because he is Trump. No other Republican can win a national election.
I am an immigration hawk, and immigration has been my top issue since Bush and McCain tried to stuff Amnesty down our throats in 2005-2008.
In my opinion, Trump has always been an immigration dove, except for violent illegals. In 2015, I predicted he would postpone most major immigration decisions until he was reelected in 2020. Then, I predicted Trump would push a Bush-McCain Amnesty on us in 2021.
However, in my opinion, it looks like rank and file Republican opposition to Amnesty and Massive Legal Immigration has completely collapsed in 2018.
Consequently, I think we will get Amnesty in 2018, in exchange for a bunch of new tough-talk immigration laws that will never be enforced.
