WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is suggesting that an immigration deal could be tackled in two phases — first by taking care of the so-called Dreamers and border security, then by making comprehensive reforms to the immigration system.

The only environmental concern involved is if the Rat judge’s body is not disposed of properly.

NO NO NO NO NO!

Mr. Trump:

End chain-migration, build a wall, end the lottery or your Presidency is dead. It’s as simple as that.

“My worry is that some RAT judge shuts down the wall before it’s built because of so-called “environmental” concern.”

I kind of wish Trump would act a bit more like Mayor Daley in Chicago. When a judge tried to stop him from shutting down Meig’s Field, he just had his construction crews go out in the middle of the night and rip up all the runways. Blamed it on a bureaucratic “snafu”, shrugged his shoulders, and told the judge to go ahead and re-open it with no runways.

We should be calling the White House and Congress:

202.456.1111 (White House)
202.224.3121 (Congress)

NO DACA!

Sadly, we’re already seeing freepers in the usual hysterics, running around with their hair on fire.

Wha, wait just a second. Just this morning I read Ole Chuckles and Bug Eyes Pelosi were saying anything other than a clean DACA Amnesty was a non starter.

I listened to that 45 minute “press conference,” as well.

Trump only said there would be no DACA without an agreement to fund the wall, leaving an end to chain migration and an end to visa lottery for some other time. That is a bad deal, because the Rats will get DACA and will simply get a judge to issue a stay on the building of any wall; and an end to chain migration and an end to visa lottery both get kicked down the road never to be brought up again. This is a HUGE victory for the Rats.

The operative word is “could” do that about 2-phase, which doesn’t mean he will. Trump wanted these guys on record in front of the cameras as Rush is saying.

Trump also had a meeting with Repubs same subject a couple of days ago behind closed doors as I recall.

Trump even told the guy with the bill to be introduced tomorrow to add “merit” to it. Merit for daca persons. Whoever came up with this 45 minutes of tv is the smartest person in the room. Even chelosie and paulturttle weren’t in the room. This was really really smart

First, Order of things is wrong. Show the love of Americans first. Illegal immigrants come only after we take care of our own.

Second, Lawmakers keep wanting to ‘solve the problem’ of when existing laws weren’t followed.

Why another “deal”, another useless set of laws we all know neither parties want nor have any intention to have it upheld or executed?

“End chain-migration, build a wall, end the lottery or your Presidency is dead. It’s as simple as that.”

That’s a fact. He’ll be a one-termer. Or, the Rats will take the House and Senate in 2018 and Trump will be impeached by the House and convicted and removed by the Senate, in which case he’ll be less than a one-termer.

(Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007)......coupled with (the DREAM Act)....(acronym for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act) is an American legislative proposal for a multi-phase process for qualifying alien minors in the United States that would first grant conditional residency and, upon meeting further qualifications, permanent residency.

The bill was first introduced in the Senate on August 1, 2001, S. 1291 by United States Senators Dick Durbin (D- Illinois) and Orrin Hatch (R- Utah), and has since been reintroduced several times but has failed to pass.[1][2]

What makes anyone think either bills will work now when history tells us neither ever worked before...these are 'vote getter' rhetoric, old and worthless. America has laws about entering this nation. USE THEM regardless of the do-gooder, politically correct congressmen who made this mess and with thanks to Obama's refusal to follow his oath of office to the U.S. Constitution and those laws in the first place.

If you want to come to the US illegally, just come through California...but be prepared to present papers at the CA. borders into America.

I think Trump came up with the idea. That was very Trumpian. I hope he keeps doing it.

The sad truth is..with the exception of not strapping bomb vest on..dem/RINOs are not much better trust wise.
They almost certainly will not honor anything Trump offers them.
America be damned.

Then he says maybe we need earmarks to get something done. Brilliant. You guys can’t agree on anything unless you’re paid off!

Well then scoot over for me, too, ought-six, I have a curiously familiar feeling that I had with ‘vigilantes’ and ‘islam is a religion of peace’.

“I think my positions are going to be what the people in this room come up with,” Trump said during a Cabinet Room meeting with a bipartisan group of 20 lawmakers, adding, “I am very much reliant upon the people in this room.” A group of journalists observed the meandering meeting for an extraordinary length of time — about 55 minutes — that involved Trump seeking input from Democrats and Republicans alike in a freewheeling exchange on the contentious issue.

An extraneous use of the word meandering. The description of the meeting sounded more productive and first meeting brainstorming. Not 'meandering' a description that any of us who's had to attend Monday morning meetings knows is used as a pejorative.
