Report: Trump Caves on DACA, Wants ‘Quick’ Amnesty for 800K Illegal Aliens
Breitbart.com ^ | 13 Sep 2017 | John Binder

Posted on 09/14/2017 6:00:33 AM PDT by Rockitz

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.

Trump always talked about having heart, he never advocated throwing all out like some here apparently want to do. Any who paid attention during the campaign know this.

Curious, why aren’t you protesting in front of he Pentagon to kick out all he illegals from the military? Probably not the biggest problem the country is facing but I could be wrong

Besides that it might no be possible to keep all promises, most understand that too. A promise is a best case scenario, one that might not happen because there are other factors involved. Remember Trump is working against the uniparty elitist swamp. It is as close to an impossible task as one can imagine. I think Trump’s been doing about as good as anyone could with what he’s got to work with.

Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!

So who said this...Pelosi, Chuckie, or Prez Trump?? He is tweeting their narrative.

If and when you lose your base. Very few will be willing to step
up and defend you. And if that happens anything is possible,
including impeachment.

Well apparently a large percentage currently under DACA do have criminal records. They would, and probably are being deported right now.

It’s what Trump said during the campaign, it’s called having a heart. You would throw out the productive non criminal ones?

Yes, REALLY, Mr. President. That's how the rule of law works. Their parents snuck them in, and now they have to pay the penalty. Deport them. Deport them all.

Of course, that will never happen now with President Cave-in-to-the-Ivanka-Democrats Trump...

Stop having wet dreams. A bunch of butt-hurt Cruzers and closet Jeb! fans might abandon Trump, but his base WILL NOT. Ever. And, as a member of that base, if I ever feel myself feeling even slightly tempted - I’ll look at a photo of Hillary and that will remind me what this man saved us all from.

Trump will go down in history as the biggest fraud of all time, bigger than Maobama, if he keeps “negotiating” with these Communist fiends. Well, he did say that he was anxious to negotiate with them during the campaign, and no one wanted to believe that he meant it.
It’s beginning to appear that Trump has indeed been playing 3-D chess, against HIS BASE!

People here who fantasize that Ivanka somehow controls Donald Trump are just as bizarre, to me, as the leftists out there stamping their feet and insisting that global warming is responsible for hurricanes, cold weather and hemorrhoids.

I was for Trump from the moment he stepped off the elevator.
So you can take my comment as a warning.

I have also said I what to see what shakes out in terms of a bill,
policy or law.

They’re all thinking they’re creating an opening for Captain Cruz to don his cape and work some of his magical constitution-fu on those dastardly henchmen. “Here I come to save the daaaaay - Mighty Mouth!”
