Minimally, he should get something for this- No more anchor babies; No amnesty rather green card status; SOMETHING DAMN IT!
The Art of the Deal.
1. Concede before negotiations begin.....
Anyway, I’m sure Chuck Schumer’s immigration policy will be the best immigration policy.
Not going to happen. The biggest winners are the donor-class. The illegals are merely pawns.
Congress is afraid to legalize it, and the President knows it. The Republicans know most of the DACA are Dem voters, their approval of DACA as is is political suicide.
Good grief....Trump caved on his “No Amnesty” pledge.
Hope he’s not wobbling on this issue.
PING
DADA is o.k. if Congress passes it. ?
Revisit?
Why?
I’m going to trust Trump on this. He has not let me down yet. Undoing everything Obama did has been just a joy to watch. Always two moves ahead of people, President Trump knows what needs to be done. He also is very aware of what his base wants and thinks.
“while even some Republicans who formerly opposed DACA called for Congress to act to resolve the issue with legislation.”
These RINOs only oppose something liberal when there’s no chance it will be repealed. This is a good example. Obamacare is a bigger example.
Yesterday, he made every business, politician, and many church officials very angry.
You’re dang right he caved.
How can he revisit when his AG said it was unconstitional?
Naa - we went through this last night. It’s Trump’s awkward way of saying “I’m not going to touch DACA between now and 6 months from now, but if something isn’t done in 6 months, you won’t like what I do when I ‘revist’ it.”
Our conclusion was based on a number of things, primarily the written statement that the White House put out on DACA, which was consistent with Sessions’ statement. Other factors are Trump not being all that great with word selection and Trump ALWAYS deferring to law and order - DACA, of course, is illegal and Trump knows there’s nothing he can do alone to make it legal. He also doesn’t simply blow off campaign promises...he may kick them down the road a bit (the Wall, for example), but he certainly been the best GOP president in a generation, maybe longer, who tried to keep his word...and ending DACA is a specific promise of his.
In any case, I’m sure they’ll soon be questions based on his tweet and get a better answer.
Trump needs to bury Congress in tasked work items.
Congress has plenty of time to publicically attack Trump while they continue to kick their cans down the road.
Where’s The Budget Mr. Speaker?
Have you guys not figured out that DJT is playing 3D chess? If Congress ‘legalizes’ it, then they are exposed for what they really are - and I doubt if DJT would sign it if they did.
What he is doing is bringing the topic up front and center that there is nothing legal about DACA. And he is giving Congress the opportunity to chop their own head off by coming up with a legal solution.
And the revisit part? Just putting Congress on notice that they better not come back with something that is against the will of the American people.
Don’t bet against DJT on this. He is the master negotiator / manipulator to get things he wants. May take him a while but eventually he gets results.
Not what he said! Does no good to speculate to the point of lying. Especially here on FR.
Read the ‘script’.
If you try to bring it up via the Senate...there’s easily forty-six Democrats and around eight Republicans. So they could craft this and pass it with the McCain-club in tow.
But then you come to the House. You would need 218 members to pass. So you count up...194 Democrats. You would have to find 24 GOP members. At best, I would suggest that you can only find ten GOP members who would go and vote for this. It’ll fail in the House.
So, I think what Trump is designing is his tax reform package that will couple up to the DACA episode. You will get one with the other.
Naturally, the McCain-character will spend hours and hours on TV and blaming Trump, but Trump will bring out the thirty-odd House members to deliver DACA as part of a total package. McCain will have to accept tax reform...same for McConnell.
So it’ll pass. But here’s the thing. The current DACA package is built with age discrimination written all over it. If it ever passed (it never did on the eight occasions it was up for passage)....it would have gone to the Supreme Court within two years. Trump knows that. The Supreme Court will invalidate it within two years of passage because of the discrimination.
McCain will sit there shocked in 2021 as this comes up and screaming that DACA needs to fixed yet again after being revoked by the Supremes.
Settle back...enjoy the show, and the whole way that we will get tax reform to occur. It’ll all be one single package...accept tax reform and you get DACA (temporarily).
