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.

The City of Poo.
But Trump sort of endorsed Pelosi for speaker. Do you suspect this is his way of getting rid of her forever?
Right now, after finally being shown she isn’t Queen of the USA, she’s probably almost to the end of the road marked “blithering idiot”.

Another clever move by the President.
‘Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer’.
Had she not been installed as Speaker, someone with some real pull and common sense may have made it.
Definitely one of the better voices for the Rs...
Like how R Limbaugh always feels ‘sorry’ for one of the MSM to praise him or not run him down every time his name comes up.
