Read my tweets: There will be no amnesty for Dreamers until I get my border wall AND an end to chain migration Trump harps

Trump firmly rejected a demand from Democrats that he provide amnesty to illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children with no strings attached Says they must fund his border wall and end chain migration or no deal President golfed earlier this week with Sen. David Perdue, co-author of the Senate bill that would shift the U.S. to a skill's-based visa system President Donald Trump firmly rejected a demand from Democrats that he provide amnesty to illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children with no strings attached to the legislation.

Trump said Friday that he will not approve the Dream Act until Democrats agree to fund his border wall and support an overhaul of the federal immigration system.

'The Democrats have been told, and fully understand, that there can be no DACA without the desperately needed WALL at the Southern Border and an END to the horrible Chain Migration & ridiculous Lottery System of Immigration etc. We must protect our Country at all cost!' Trump tweeted.

Wall + end of chain migration is worth 1m relatively young people being amnestied. Otherwise you end up with no wall, no end of chain migration and the next president will then amnesty them and you get nothing out of it.

DACA stands for Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals.

The action being deferred is their deportation.

They are illegal aliens already here, supposedly arriving when they were children.

If we give them a free pass it will make it almost impossible to deport the parents who brought them here illegally.

“The deal is for DACA, not the illegals already here.
Nope, they gotta go.”

Agree and it’s funny how he wouldn’t be in this endless DACA mess and endless debate haggling had on day one he signed the EO that overturned the unconstitutional EO signed before him.

Republican Congress and President holding the majority is like watching a poker illiterate. I’ll trade you this royal flush for whatever you have in your hand. Sound like a deal?

Reagan amnestied everyone here illegally. Trump is talking about 1m people. Big difference. Plus, your alternative is, unfortunately, no wall or end of chain migration + amnesty with the next president (either party, doesn’t matter).

Any retention of illegal immigrant Mexican Catholics will result in retention of Democrat voters. Just check out Pew stats on which cohort of Catholics voted for Hillary in 16.

There should be no amnesty until Islam has refrained from terrorism for 14 centuries.

Every DACA bill introduced so far has expanded that 700,000 already signed up to 3 million or more.

Lol not with this party or President either!!!! Even with a deal Democrats get house or Senate back and VIOLA omg they ripped funding!!

It is a pipe dream to think there will ever be a wall. I hope one can be built after passage of funding within a 2 year election cycle or it won’t happen.

Screw DACA! He should have signed his EO day one as he campaigners

Every bill introduced so far has expanded eligibility to 3 million or more, far beyond the 700,000 signed up now.

1) The new bill could fully fund the wall so they wouldn't need to ask for funds in the future.
2) Ending chain migration is a huge win and wouldn't be reversed on a funding deal
3) He reversed it within 6 months. Big deal.

Reagan’s biggest mistake was George H.W. Bush, amnesty is second or third (behind the budget cuts that Congress never delivered). An aside...until you find a way to make Congressmen personally wealthy by cutting budgets, it’s never going to happen. A Democratically elected legislature simply means that you are voting for people to make themselves multi-millionaires by handing you a few crumbs from the table.

The way I see it, the DACA issue is very similar to some of the noxious provisions of the recent tax bill involving the limited deductibility of state and local taxes. The members of Congress -- Democrat and Republican alike -- who are opposed to Trump on these issues are mostly clustered in "blue" states where Trump lost badly anyway.

Take a look at some of the research where illegal immigrant populations are found, and you'll see that most of the Rust Belt and Midwest states that propelled Trump to his unexpected victory generally have very few of them.

I think a hard line on DACA by President Trump will play very well politically in states where it matters a lot.

Why would we need the second step???? The first step seems to eliminate the need for Step 2. . .

It would have been better explained to say...

If a qualified (by merit), an immigrant who doesn't have sufficient english ability, have sufficient resources to pay for and complete satisfactorily a basic english course within 60 days of entry or his visa will be revoked.

The deal during the campaign wasn’t an if, then, but it was DACA gone and wall built. It escapes me why the hell we ever end up with majorities in the first place. Obama sure as hell didn’t cut deals. No, your point 2 isn’t a “huge win”

700,000 DACA = millions upon millions offspring for generations. I don’t want a “deal” I want what was promised and for once in our freakin lives ACT LIKE WE OWN THE MAJORITY

Do you think the democrats will make that trade?

I don’t.

This is Trump preparing for the 2018 midterm elections.

I read it in college. My retarded lefty professor who ironically, teaches Macro Economics almost failed me for reading quotes from it. Right before graduation when I knew I had my diploma in the bag, I gave him the middle finger when he passed in front of me.
