“He is being reasonable, but not giving up the plan.”
Agreed! However, The Nattering Neighbobs of Negativity will be here in 3...2...1...
*SMIRK* :)
Challenge Congress to do at least 1/2 of what Mexico and Central America is doing and promise to point out the 50% of where they are lacking and the folks that are up for Re-Election.
I figured it was a feint, but the deportations will still have to be done whether they are visa overstays or border jumpers.
If he can use the threat to get congress off it’s arse and revamp the immigration laws and close the loopholes to discourage more of the same that’s great.
But those here illegally have got to be deported, not given amnesty.
Might as well wait two weeks since everyone knew it was coming.
Congress will fail like they usually do, and then back to it.
I had guessed that his announcement of imminent roundups was a negotiating ploy with Congress. I am waiting to see what comes from his apparent vacillation on the Iran drone shootdown. He did NOT just “back down.” Something is in the works.
I don’t have much faith in this Congress
I don’t hold my breath for Congress to solve problems, only creating them.
No, reasonable would have been acting on his campaign promises on this issue from the start. Not naming three consecutive anti-Trumpers to run DHS against all his stated immigration goals. Declaring the emergency we have and doing what’s needed with his executive powers from the start. Not sticking his feckless, Manhattan Democrat SIL in to give still more to the Dems on the issue this winter. Etc. Etc.
Empty threats and promises while letting in more, kicking out fewer, workplace raiding fewer, etc., than Obama.
Enough already!

They haven’t been able to fix this in 30 years..
2 weeks won’t lead to anything.
let the deporations commence.
Well if he was doing something OUTSIDE of enforcing existing US laws, then it could be used as a chip.
How does NOT holding those accountable for breaking the law become a “bargaining chip”?
I boxed.
Enough feints and you know the guy just doesn’t want to mix it up with you and his feints don’t matter as you pound at his ribs.
Anyone seeing a pattern?
Congress isn’t going to do anything no matter what.
Voting records of the precinct of Every ICE detainee’s residence should be checked to see if they were listed as a registered voter. If they were, charge them and those who permitted this.
what the hell is wrong with him?
If he says it he needs to do it.
Freaking empty threats.
Done.
NO,Ann Coulter was right.
I agree and he should start on Tuesday after they fail to do anything on Monday
My wife is a bigger Trump supporter than me and she is PISSED!
Just when he has the upper hand he falls for this crap.
When you take into consideration that virtually every wetback out there is a future rat voter then YESTERDAY was the time to round ‘em up and head ‘em out. If the democrats refuse to meet for viable discussions in the morning, I say we go full blast on nonstop, one way Greyhound tickets to Tijuana. When others contemplating an illegal attempt to enter the USA, they will think twice.
