Exclusive: Trump plans shutdown compromise Trump speaking to reporters
AXIOS ^ | Jonathan Swan

Posted on 01/19/2019 8:43:15 AM PST by 4Runner

President Trump plans to use remarks from the Diplomatic Reception Room on Saturday afternoon to propose a notable immigration compromise, according to sources familiar with the speech.

Details: The offer is expected to include Trump’s $5.7 billion demand for wall money in exchange for the BRIDGE Act — which would extend protections for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) — and also legislation to extend the legal status of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, according to a source with direct knowledge.

Jared Kushner and Mike Pence have led the crafting of this deal and the negotiations with members, according to White House officials.

“if I thought that the democrats would accept any deal. They won’t.”

of course they won’t, and trump knows that ... this is being done to show that trump is reasonable and that the Dems are not; furthermore, it shows the Dems are totally selling out the current bunch of illegal aliens that the process to care so much about simply to maintain an unlimited supply of new illegal aliens ...

not a sell-out at all ...

I almost enjoy the whining and moaning of my fellow Freepers as much as I do the collective screams of everything Left.

Cave! It registers high on my gloating scale like the Left screaming Impeach 1000s of times yesterday. And today on CNN, not one Impeach.

I suggest that you are either with Trump or against him. You can bellyache and shout Cave or you can stand with Trump shout MAGA.

I’m all in for monarchy because the Republic as founded has become ungovernable.

A nest of traitors, the Dems and their Leftist base, want to exterminate white Christian Americans.

Civil war is coming.

I like the idea of Trump laying out a compromise to the American people after Democratic Party leadership has refused to compromise. I hope that in his presentation he does three things:

(1) He notes Martin Luther King's birthday, quotes from Dr. King Jr., and has both African Americans and Latinos with him at the presentation. (yes this about image and destroying the Democratic Party base)

(2) He states a deadline by which the offer expires (very short) and urges the American people to call their Congressmen and Pelosi. (To tell Democrats they have lost)

(3) He lays out why the Wall is needed and that if the Democrats do not act quickly he will declare a national emergency and that he is mobilizing the military to build the wall on an emergency basis, but will wait for the deadline before declaring the emergency.

And ends with a comment that it is now up to Chuck and Nancy to show they value those harmed by both the shutdown and those who would benefit by the compromise.

Go Trump

I agree with your assessment.

Pull down Nancy's pants so we all get to see the 'Ratz ass.

Hope it works!

President Trump knows what he's doing.

The DACA migrants are already here. OK, normalize them but we get the Wall. The point of the Wall is to prevent future DACA problems.

Gee, yesterday 400 "migrants" with children tunneled under the fencing and got their feet on American soil. Face it, once they touch American soil they are here forever. I NEVER hear of any of these invaders being expelled or turned back. They are always PROCESSED, and that means here forever.

Normalizing DACA is painful short term medicine for the greater gain of a sealed border.

If the Democrats will not come to the table, regardless of the blandishments and compromises offered, then the shutdown (or shoutdown) will continue, until such time as Trump is able to find the funding for the wall.

“Over, under, around or right on through”. But the ball WILL be moved down the field.

Yep one at a time especially since they gather in packs and

Just like “how do you eat an elephant?”

One bite at a time

“The GOP doesn’t want a wall either.”

And it’s not all that important to freepers either. Sure we fulminate on our keyboards, but how many of us have taken to the streets, or marched to Washington and held their feet to the fire.

Let’s face it our grassroots is pretty pathetic. Leftists are so much better at putting pressure on their pols. Our activism is limited to casting a vote, sometimes not even that.

Sadly Trump is a one man show, I’m surprised he’s still fighting the good fight on his own.

The DACA individuals are educated, think what a resource they would be to their countries of conception.

Knew it was coming, just a matter of time.

The GOP CANNOT stand up for the We the People to see that we are not invaded by third world VOTERS
