Exclusive: Trump plans shutdown compromise Trump speaking to reporters
AXIOS ^ | Jonathan Swan

Posted on 01/19/2019 8:43:15 AM PST by 4Runner

President Trump plans to use remarks from the Diplomatic Reception Room on Saturday afternoon to propose a notable immigration compromise, according to sources familiar with the speech.

Details: The offer is expected to include Trump’s $5.7 billion demand for wall money in exchange for the BRIDGE Act — which would extend protections for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) — and also legislation to extend the legal status of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, according to a source with direct knowledge.

Jared Kushner and Mike Pence have led the crafting of this deal and the negotiations with members, according to White House officials.

That was a dozen federal agents? Deportation at gunpoint is not practical. Having incentives to self-deport can be practical.

For any DACA cave, Trump should get the full 25+ billion it’s going to cost to build entire wall. 5.7 billion isn’t going to do it. If we’re going to go all in on the dreamers, we need the entire wall as consideration. Otherwise it’s 1986 all over again.

“The Dems can’t possibly accept and Trump knows it. This is a PR event designed to shame the Democrats and display them to be the bad faith actors they are.”

Anyone with a brain knows this.

But the FR “OMG CAVE CAVE CAVE “ Muppet brigade needs to make a scene of themselves more for their own ego, than for their ability to think past their need to scream and rant.

he can show that DACA means nothing to them, just democrat votes by illegal aliens.

I beg to differ with you. DACA is votes by illegal alien invaders. Same difference to me.

POTUS knows the left/DS/DNC/GOPe types will not accept this. ANY WALL SHUTS DOWN the “Cheap labor express”, “Vote mining”, “Human Trafficking supply line”, and hidden illegals doing cash labor without taxes, etc.

What this does for POTUS is out these cabalists for who they are, Anti-American socialist, fascist, communist, tyrannical players.

MAGA! WWG1WGA!

To the contrary, the wind is at the President’s back and he’s clearly on offense here. These past 24 hours have been tremendous.

That’s how I see it, as well.

“The GOP CANNOT stand up for the We the People to see that we are not invaded by third world VOTERS “

Found another post-before-thinking muppet.

Get your name on the list, people.

So when you slink away, we can remember which people to not take seriously on future topics.

That's what I thought also.

Trump is extending the Democrats an enormous concession, if true, While fully realizing that they won't accept it. Stopping the wall is more important to them. They are OBSESSED with stopping the wall.

When they insist it will never be built and reject the terms of the offer, even more citizens are going to support Trump. At least, I hope that's the situation. It can't be said that he isn't giving them a way to get out of this mess.

If they seriously want to get out, that is.

No he doesn’t set the rules. The courts do based on their interpretation of the law. Whatever Trump does can be undone as O is learning.

“I would call it cave as well, if I thought that the democrats would accept any deal.”

This was the original discussion several months back. Remember when Schumer and Pelosi rejected border wall funding for DACA concessions?

The House?

When 100% of ‘close races’ break for one party it means voter fraud.

I love hearing those claiming “cave”.....Let me see if the my math is correct:

In 2016 Trump got est. 63 Million votes (Hitlary got an est. 65.5M votes legal and illegal) despite a lot of people who didn’t come out for him because they thought he was going to lose or they bought into the Never Trump B/S.

In 2018 The Democrats get 60 Million votes and take 40 seats and take control of Congress with some of the most radical and celebrated Socialists to ever hold those positions!
The Republicans get only 50 Million vote mostly due to Paul Ryan and all the weak spined RINOs who reneged on their promises of repealing Obamacare, Fund the Wall (we wouldn’t be in this position now), etc...

That means that 13 Million people who voted for Trump didn’t come out to vote, didn’t bother protesting (please don’t give me this, “we have jobs and better things to do....good- keep working your day job why the radical left are active in taking everything from you)!

Let me ask everyone here:
Where are OUR counter protests?
Where are OUR marches in front of Congress?
Where is OUR march in front of the Justice Dept demanding that the “Russia” probe end?
Where are OUR marches in cities across the country against Socialism?

Have you ever heard of “Out of sight out of mind?” What do we expect? Every day Trump has to put up with Russia B/S, Mueller investigations about everything and everyone but the truth, the media bashing, his OWN Republican Party back stabbing him...and now we complain that he’s “caving”. Sorry folks, I’m not a blind follower of Trump or any politician for that matter - I learned my lesson, the hard way, a long time ago but when there’s virtually NO ACTIVISM from our side (last time I remember it was the summer of the Tea Party ten years ago) let’s not cry when our country is taken away from right under our noses and suddenly we expect ONE person to hold the fort alone!

As the saying goes, “You snooze, you lose....”

A wall in the south does not secure the border. The next Prog pres can simply open the gates. Planes fly over them and ships go around them.

We already have all the tools and laws needed to prevent illegal immigration and evict illegal immigrants. A wall won’t help if the Dems still want them here.

Trumps compromise is what they have been waiting for. They will pocket this small win and move on.

Demographics is destiny.
===============

Correct and any deal to allow the DACA wetback to stay here will seal our doom.

If this is indeed true, I'm done with Trump, we will see shortly and I'll be paying close attention, very close attention.

I’m afraid that it will really mean that TRUMP is done with YOU———and me.

Sad!

Cave? Did anyone with 2 brain cells not know this was the bargaining chips?
===========

During the campaign Trump expressly stated no amnesty of DACA, so it's not a just a cave, it's a betrayal.
