In a meeting with establishment politicians from the Problem Solvers Caucus and the Blue Dog Coalition, President Trump signaled a full-fledged cave on the issue of giving amnesty to nearly 800,000 illegal aliens currently protected by an Obama-created executive immigration program.
Since Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the ultimate end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, under which hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens were given work permits and temporary protected status, Trump has remained unclear on whether he would stick to his anti-amnesty campaign promises or cave to the political establishment.
At his White House meeting with moderates, according to The Hill, Trump is set to choose a legislative deal that quickly legalizes the nearly 800,000 illegal aliens on DACA, without getting any pro-American immigration reforms in return:
Indeed, said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), the president is already getting impatient.
“He says, ‘Oh, DACA, we want to move on this quick, we don’t want to wait six months,’” Cuellar said after the meeting. “He said, ‘It’s already been six days and nothing’s happened.’”
Cuellar said Trump didn’t propose a timeline, but voiced concerns that waiting until the March 5 deadline grows closer would only put a spotlight on the issue and make it more difficult for Congress to act. The president, Cuellar said, wants to move “when people are not expecting it.”
...
Although Trump is looking at pushing through a clean amnesty bill for DACA recipients, he did mention during the meeting, according to Cuellar, the possibility of passing Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) pro-American worker “RAISE Act,” which cuts legal immigration in half, in exchange for amnesty.

He did that a lot in his campaign, too. It is clear his recent environment and life model was formed by his exposure to the leftists in New York (and probably his own family).
I point to his talking points about Walker and the Wisconsin budget, that even the leftist said were too far.
Common sense is brokering a deal with shumer and Pelosi.. lol.. you have got to be kidding me. This is amnesty.
A sellout to the left. Making deals with the devil is paid for with your soul.
It does not matter what bill they come up with, it still has to pass a Republican House and a Republican Senate and then signed by a Republican President all going into an off year election next year.
President Trump is not “Read my lips, no new taxes” Bush.
The Democrats were able to roll Bush and it cost him.
Like I said the Democrats can make any claim they want, but until an actual bill is in the Oval Office it is all just hot air.
So is this just opinion and speculation by Breitbart, or are you of the Groucho Marx philosophy that says "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?":
Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!.....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 14, 2017
Breitbart is loyal to ideas and principles, not to a cult of personality. When President Trump is in the right, it defends him, as it should. When he's wrong, as he is here where he makes statements that could have come from the mouth of Jeb Bush, they take him to task for it, as they should.
President Trump is allegedly drugged and isolated.
Hold your cards, people. We must verify.
No, I expect him to do NOTHING other than overturn DACA which he has done and deport. He holds all the cards. If the wall doesn’t get built as an after effect then he should be on camera everyday hammering Congress until they relent or are voted out.
These were promises
Since I dont believe anything from anyone any more I will wait and see before responding.
If Trump grants this amnesty it promotes much more lawless entry for these illegal aliens. It will green light millions to bring teenagers in and know that they are citizens when they get here. This has dire consequences for trump politically if not terminal political consequences for 2020. We will then find a new leader that is not a liar.
And once they are legal it is only fair and *sniff, sniff* compassionate that these hard-working, taxpaying people will get to vote.
We ALL clearly know all this is leading up to giving the dreamers, and thereafter their parents, the right to vote (Democrat). Just like homosexuals only wanted “civil unions” and the pot heads only wanted “medical marijuana”.
We all know what the end game is here.
I am seeing the imminent rise of ted Cruz and Rand Paul and the total disintegration of the trump base,,. Watch what happens at the next trump rally to push tax reform. It will be brutal. We understand compassion but we do not tolerate obsequious capitulation to leftist ideology.,. Trump better wake up fast.
And it’s not even for 800K—it is for at least twice as many, with lower standards of education and adhering to the law than we even had in the Obama’s original DACA. What’s more, half of the original 800k were reportedly fraudulent applications, and now with Amnesty Donald, we can expect that sort of thing to hold with the new batch as well.
So to answer what I pointed out isn’t actually a news story, but just speculation, and too much editorializing, which you dont deny, is a tweet from Trump and some soliloquy about how great Bannon is? Whom I dont even think wrote this.
He has arrived in Florida and just said about the dacaca illegal aliens “If we don’t get a wall we’re not doing anything...”
“Priorities are jobs and the middle class”
Know what I find absolutely hilarious? The first card pulled out is Cruz this and Cruz that. The first people to bring Cruz into the conversation are those frothing at the mouth who cannot give up the primary. News flash, we’ve moved on from the primary and support our President. You otoh continue to blame an invisible boogie man. The only people hell bent on invoking the name of Cruz are those wishing to deflect their anger and frustration towards people who simply are critical on a promise. This is just as bad as a Hillary supporter in disbelief with the election results. It’s absolutely hysterical.
At least you didn’t follow the typical pattern “pearl clutcher!!! Never Trumper!!!”
If they have a criminal record they aren't protected by DACA. By definition.
Speaking of the dimwit shrew, she is promising us that she won’t undermine his agenda *publicly*—while of course she and her dimwit husband have been, largely privately, undermining his agenda for the last year.
President Trump might still make a 'deal' with them - but he's NOT the fool President Bush (the first) was with his "NO NEW TAXES' gaffe... Trump will fight for the American people - and that will involve some 'give' but no where near what liberals thought they had...
Morning Joe haters could hardly contain their glee this morning... they thought they finally gotten the better of Trump....
“Priorities are jobs and the middle class”
Stop it, I am trying to hyperventilate here!
