Democrats immediately rejected President Donald Trump’s offer of a work-permit amnesty for one million registered migrants in exchange for 230 miles of new border wall.
The rejection came even though Trump’s offer angered his base by trading a DACA temporary amnesty for a wall.
Also, Trump did not ask for the reform of the many catch-and-release rules which allow the cartels to profitably smuggle hundreds of thousands of poor migrants into the U.S. labor market, welfare rolls, and U.S. K-12 schools.
The speech came after Trump had offered a series of smaller concessions in closed-door negotiations since Christmas.
Democrats quickly dismissed the amnesty offer.
Sen. Chuck Schumer also rejected the compromise, saying, “offering some protections back in exchange for the wall is not a compromise but more hostage taking.

SCREW THEM!!! CLOSE THE BORDER! DEPORT!! IMPRISON!!!
Now they think they have Trump on the run ,LOL
I”m getting real tired of this. POTUS Needs to close the border.
I think this is all a brilliant ploy to clear out the government of all the black hat bureaucrats working behind the scenes to undermine him.
So now Trump should say “Fine, NO DEAL, NO DACA..they get deported starting MONDAY and now I want 10 billion for the wall..how do you like them apples
He needs to pull it soon. Things are getting really tense and I’m tired of paying traitor Pelosi’s salary.
McConnell is going to act, Trump said Mitch will hold a vote on the plan in the senate this next week. Mitch confirmed.
Since he keeps offering concessions it’s hard to blame the Dems for holding out for more.
Time to shut the border, and declare the emergency...but then, that may be what the dems were pushing for...
Of course it is, then they can holler about how he’s
exceeding his authority and needs to be impeached.
There is no depth to which socialists won’t sink in
order to get and keep control.
The big problem is we have let them have it for far too long.
He’s up to something. I have the feeling he’s mousetrapping the Dems and they don’t realize it.
Absolutely what they are counting on. The strategybeing that they can tie up construction in the courts until 2020. It gives both sides propganda value, but a major event will occur andthe democrats will be held responsible. Their votes will be on the record when the bill is passed, which is furher than a bill has gone before.
Start firing the laid off Fedgov workers. It’s the only way to be sure.
What a shocker. Not.
Olive branch extended.....The left said NO so it now becomes the Schumer/Pelosi shut down! hahahah Pres Trump is brilliant
Hoo-yeah. He keeps giving them a deal that sounds quite reasonable, which he knows they can't accept, because of their crazy base. That in effect keeps putting the shut-down on them, making them look nasty and stupid again. This gives him more and more latitude, like money in the bank, to do whatever he wants when the time is up.
And he gets to decide when the time's up.
Yes, at least close the Ports of Entry. Mexico has thrown open its Southern border for the latest caravan of invaders. Trump needs to impose enough economic pain to get Mexico to reverse course.
In some ways they do, sadly...
I was thinking more of what the USSR leaders looked like on the reviewing stand during the May Day parade.
Or better yet, order construction of the wall by the military on the basis of a national emergency and keep the government shut down.
