There no deal until it’s approved by the full houses of Congress anyway. It’s a ways off from completion by any measure.

The President said,

“...any legislation on DACA, we feel — at least a strong part of this group feels — has to accomplish three vital goals.”

“Truly, it should be a bill of love, and we can do that. But it also has to be a bill where we’re able to secure our border.”

“So, in order to secure it, we need a wall.”

“Second, it has to be a bill to end chain migration.”

“And the other is — cancel the lottery program. They call it “visa lottery,” I just call it “lottery.” But countries come in and they put names in a hopper. They’re not giving you their best names; common sense means they’re not giving you their best names. They’re giving you people that they don’t want. And then we take them out of the lottery. And when they do it by hand — where they put the hand in a bowl — they’re probably — what’s in their hand are the worst of the worst.”

Take care of chain migration and the lottery system first, in a bill that addresses only those, since everyone claims to be against them.

The only reason that anyone would want them is to increase the Democratic voting block.

Do you think people just made that up?

I heard the President myself say that he knows most of the people at the meeting and respects them all. At least twice.

Further President Trump did say whatever they come up with he will sign. He added that “even if there is something I don’t love” I will sign it because I respect the people who put the deal together.

Sorry, but he did say that.

You have no business mocking those who took President Trump at his word.

What’s you crying to me for? I don’t see no DACA without the wall and chain migration ending. I see RINOs and Durbin throwing up Bull S. about what Trump said because they don’t want to end illegal migration.

I figured Trump would not help get a DACA deal. He would act like he was negotiating and then blame the Dems when no deal was reached. My question is can’t he just play out the clock, get no immigration deal and just enforce deportation and blame that on the Dems for not reaching a deal? What would be wrong with that? Can he get the wall built anyway or another way without reaching a DACA agreement? He seems to work outside the box on most things in repealing Obamacare mandate.

Well, this is what you wrote: “I thought Trump would sign anything! /sarc”

It seemed to me that you were insinuating that the people who got all bent out of shape that Trump would go along with whatever the group came up with were irrational ‘nervous nellies’.

Others have said as much as well.

I was pointing out that those who got very anxious over this had justification to be.

If you were not mocking them then I apologize for misreading your intentions.

Even better, why don’t all the politicians who extol the virtues of these countries want to live there?
