No deal: Pelosi rejects Trump’s offer to legalize 'Dreamers' for wall money

Print this article House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Saturday she will not take up President Trump’s offer to trade off $5.7 billion in wall funding for a three-year extension of a program providing legal status for "Dreamers," who illegally went to the U.S. as children.

Pelosi, D-Calif., issued a statement just before Trump’s announcement, calling the plan “a compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total, do not represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people’s lives.”

Pelosi said the proposal does not achieve what Democrats have long sought for the "Dreamers," which is a pathway to citizenship or permanent legal status.

“It is unlikely that any one of these provisions alone would pass the House, and taken together, they are a non-starter.“

Pelosi rejected the wall and repeated Democratic offers to increase other border security at ports of entry and to boost technology along the border. Some overlapped with the president’s offer, such as money for additional immigration judges and bolstering security at the nation’s ports of entry, where most illegal drugs enter.

What is unacceptable are unsecured, open borders. Thousands of US citizens have been murdered by illegal aliens. Nancy, those are people who broke the law to enter our country. If there was a wall they would NOT have illegally entered our country to kill our citizens.

You could have learned a little more about this, but you chose to hide and pretend that you were not there when parents of murdered victims visited your office.

One unnecessary murder of one of our citizens is one too many!

You Democrats simply do not care about the citizens of the USA. Some of them voted for you!

There was a time when you Democrats supported a wall. Why did you change your mind? Why are you talking about other initiatives when we clearly need a wall to protect our borders? What were you Democrats elected to do besides taking trips abroad and partying in Hawaii and Puerto Rico?

He’s given them every chance to work with him.

And it’s giving him m,ore and more reason to finally declare a national emergency and appropriate the funds and build the wall through other means.

Yep.

That is what people do not seem to get about Trump.

Now he has a free hand to declare national emergency and build the wall.

He made them a quite acceptable offer. If they had been smart they would have taken it.

They are not smart.

She must be like 800 years old.

With a brain of similar vintage. Which doesn't function too well any more.

If you go to SF, watch where you step. You never know what you will step in, or who you might step on.

A year ago, I passed through Racine, WI on my way to meet my sister in northern Wisconsin when we interred my Mom’s ashes with Dad’s. I stopped at a guy;s place to pick up some woodworking machine parts.

He was a med tech who was moving to San Francisco with his girlfriend who lived there. I advised him not to sell his house in Wisconsin.

I moved to Northern California from Madison, WI in 1981. Left California in 1994. Left nothing there I need to go back for.

What about the NEW South American caravan, this time ESCORTED and helped by the new Messy Can prez Obrador? He is helping these ragtag gibsmedats to invade the U.S. We need to rethink our trade and such with Messy Co. And shut it down, starve them like they deserve. A total mess of a country ruled by corrupt cops, drug cartels, child traffickers and the like.

Don’t forget the early on speech about how he was going to sign a bill as long as it got to his desk.

When it got to his desk he said ‘I TOLD YOU WHAT HAD TO BE IN THE BILL’ and you ignored it.

HE (PDJT) was almost keelhauled when he made that statement but, he is a wordsmith and ‘they’ all think he is some dumb rube.

The only problem he has dealing with these crooks is they can hide behind legislature...he dealt very well with the ‘Mafia’ threats from minorities etc when dealing as a developer in NYC.

These fools are pikers in comparison BUT write there own rules and get them in the books so it takes a while to maneuver around them....
