Democrats Dismiss Trump’s Political Concession, Demand More
Breitbart ^ | 19 January 2019 | Neil Munro

Posted on 01/19/2019 2:57:12 PM PST by KC_Lion

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., center, speaks about her oath of office as she stands next to Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer of N.Y., left, and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., right, following their meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2019.

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.

If they don’t have a green card/work permit, they will be just sitting around on their asses, and I certainly don’t want that-I want them working and paying taxes like every green card I’ve ever hired or worked with in construction. Also, to get a work permit/green card, you can’t have a criminal record-if you lie about it and get caught, you get picked up by la migra and taken back across the border-I’ve seen that happen at work a time or two-they will almost always get caught when their I-9 is checked out.

When 9-11 happened, the company I work for lost 4 of the 5 green card skilled laborers we had working-they went right to the Army and Air Force recruiting offices and took the oath-gave us a week’s notice before they shipped out to basic. They were all young guys-19 to maybe 25, and all spoke passable English, too-we do not hire mojados and we don’t work with any contractor who does-plenty of citizens and green cards do skilled construction labor out here...

“The strategybeing that they can tie up construction in the courts until 2020”

No they can’t. Only if Trump lets them.

He has plenary authority under the Constitution and an obligation to protect the states from invasion.

America is at the point of no return...right now. It’s do or die. No more pussy footing around. Texas and Florida are on the verge of turning blue. Dems will RULE in perpetuity. The end of America and what’s left of the rule of law. A thousand years of darkness.

There will be no “Press 2 for English.” We will be given the option to speak Spanish or else report to the concentration camps.

You’re right, actually.

Who would have thought that I would now be considered a moderate her on FR?
I’d better start learning some Spanish off the food labels or tech equipment bilingual manuals.

Trump should NOW say:

“The Democrats have no interest in securing our border, protecting our neighborhoods, or protecting the hard won gains that our Latino American, AND African Americans have made in securing jobs. The 800,000 federal employees are a pawn in their sick game. I am done with games. ANY agreement I sign will now have to include $10 Billion Dollars for a border wall and increased border security. I will be in the White House continuing my wait for the Democrats. Perhaps when they are back from their beach vacations they will do something.”

I bet Pelosi flew to California like she does most weekends....Because I see no statement from her. Just Evil Ckuckie and Dick Turban.

WIN, WIN

So he gave the Dems a bridge to retreat on with dignity, which they rejected. Supposedly his book on negotiations states this as a major thing that must be done in negotiations with the enemy. He also told the Dems exactly what happens next if they do not accept.

For mindless Americans, he looks like he is willing to negotiate and bend. It give him the moral ability to drop the military builds the wall hammer at the end of the week. Monday he is past the 30 day shutdown mark and can fire gov. employees. Dems have been outplayed all around, they either negotiate and a wall happens or they do not and a real wall happens. No matter what he can do what he wants with the firing of gov. employees.

Isn’t Monday the day when the “non-essential” personnel can be dismissed, permanently?

Could be part of the timing of the “speech”.

You gave more inside information from experience than I’ve seen on this topic before.
Thanks.

I hope Trump can move money around and keep TSA, Parks, coast guard, food stamps, passports going. He should keep the government in partial shutdown indefinitely. So what if Trump issues executive orders to move money around so that important services are funded. He could even let the food stamp program dry up for a couple days and then issue the order. Let the leftist judge block him and let’s see how that goes down with the public.

But I don’t care if most of the people at agencies like FBI, DOJ, CIA, NSA, State, IRS, EPA, education ever get paid again. These agencies need to be radically cut anyways. The people that work there are big government boosters openly resisting Trumps deregulatory agenda. They are parasites and a scourge on the people.

You’re right.
What reasonable American can now say Trump was rigidly right wing and hyper extreme? He was conciliatory and they should (I said should) say: “Dems, why don’t you give in a little if he gave in a little?”

How can the leftist media twist and spin this as “Trump was more like Hitler today than ever” and “Trump is incredibly heartlessly cruel to children immigrants as he always is”?

Maybe they’ll invent something like that but will people believe them?

Pelosi and Schumer did not take it. Trump made this deal with other Democrats who did. I’m hoping that the “Reagan Democrats are back.

I hope he starts cutting loose a lot of furloughed fedgov employees early next week.

I’d be all in for Pres Trump pretty much chopping/eliminating the EPA-let the forest service, fish and wildlife services, etc take over that stuff- close down Department of Education, most of the FDA and cut the IRS in half-then do to the TSA what Reagan did to the air traffic controllers-privatize them-just think of all the tax money that would save...

“The looks on their faces in that photo, is the same as the look on the Coyote’s face when he sees the anvil rapidly approaching from above.”

It’s the same look a coyote’s face gets just a 80 grain HP going 3,500 fps hits home.

Don’t give that Nazi whore and her pimp, Chuckey, anything. Not a damn thing. They’ve already fixed the 2020 elections so what the hell the going to do, import more far left, Nazi voters from south of the border?

You would like to think so. However, he hasn’t resorted to Obama’s yet of disregarding the courts.

That’s what they do, and he knows it. It’s why he did it. Next week is going to be interesting. I wonder when we’ll see the first RIF’s.

This time I think he really IS playing 3D chess. He knew what they would do. He’s one “republican” that only pretends to trust Lucy to hold the football for him to kick it. This will play out interestingly.
