There’s an obvious compromise awaiting thoughtful people on both sides of the illegal immigration situation. Citizenship for DACA folks in exchange for e-chip verification, the wall, heavy fines on employers who break the law, no chain migration, etc etc etc. I would add, the border security stuff would need to prove effective before the DACA folks gtt their reprieve. I’ll take that deal right now.

I know this isn’t popular with some of you folks out there, but this is the way out and through this mess. I am counting on Trump to pull this off. If he just legalizes DACA folks and we get nothing more, I’m through supporting him. Basically, his stance on illegal immigration is the only reason I support him. You gotta admit, he’s a pretty unusable president, but I’ll forgive all of his idiosyncrasies if he gets that done for this nation. If he doesn’t, he’s just another blow-hard in my book.

No citizenship for Dreamers. Current numbers in DACA is frozen. We extend DACA for 5 years for those already in it, during which they can go back to their countries and get in line like everyone else but will get processed on an expedited basis.No new DACA enrolees.

Full funding for wall NOW plus passing of RAISE Act.

DACA compromise should include -

Border wall

DACA is terminated and resolution is one time and restricted to currently enrolled DACA

E verify

End to Birth Right Citizenship

End to extended family chain immigration

Ineligibility for welfare or government assistance for 10 years

Serious and extensive background check to verify Dreamer status, employment, high school graduation, no criminal affiliation or arrests (this will eliminate over half current DACA enrolled)

Above background check and investigation funded by 5000 dollar fee to each DACA enrolled

End to bogus and abused ‘refugee and humanitarian’ immigration laws

Path to citizenship for Dreamers who meet very rigorous standard and serve 8 years in US military)

Must already have applied to DACA and DACA program closed to new enrolled as of Sept 9 2017

Increase in merit based legal immigration to recruit the worlds best and brightest to America

I'll still vote for him because the alternative is the likes of Mrs. Bill Clinton, but he won't win a 2nd term without the wall.

Agree - in order to get amnesty w/o the rest would take a veto override and if that happens the Repubs are finished.
