They will not get veto proof numbers, but they will get enough to pass it.
Trump MUST veto a bad bill of love.
If it becomes an Act of love, we’re screwed.

President Trump knows that and has already told them to take a hike with this.

Now he can just let the unconstitutional DACA fantasy expire and not replace it. Then he can address the border wall separately, and let the Dems and squishy Republican’ts contemplate going into the ‘18 primaries and elections having opposed the Wall—the issue that got Trump elected.

I agree with that but there is the possibility that rinos cross over and override the veto. That will be McCain’s last vote, bank it.

Linda, Dicky and Flakeoff can dance all they want but it still has to pass the House.
Wonder why people are forgetting the HOR?

This was Trump’s HUGE(st) mistake in the vaunted round table meeting when he said he would sign any deal Congress sends to him. This issue is absolutely determinative to the future of the US and Trump needs to be the unmistakable leader here. Not some rubber stamp lackey.

Well, thus far Trump has not shown any inclination to veto anything. In fact he said he would a bill if it is sent to him.

If Trump signs this crap sandwich he’ll lose all his base support and be run out of office within a year.

Without his base he’s got nothing.

I live in Texas and if they legalized them all it would be game over in Texas and Nationally. Check the votes from south Texas and the metros - all Democrats. Over 50% of out students are hispanic, if you legalized all them and their parents. Guess what?

I knew Trump was playing with FIRE and kill it months ago .

Now we have this disaster ..

Grahamnesty is a evil dangerous man and hates this country and is a cheap labor whore but so does the entire Uniparty senate including McConnell who is really behind this entire cheap labor scam .

McConnell is allowing this to hit the floor which means he wrote it .

Thank traitor Mitch .

McConnell will not let it come to a vote without Trump’s support.

It that were to happen, if 2/3 of both the house and senate were to vote to override a sensible, US first approach to illegal aliens and immigration, then the country is already gone so there would be no reason to even worry about it all any more.

It will take very little for Ryan to go wobbly and Trumps alleged remarks might give him the excuse hr needs

They have set the narrative that Trump is a racist if he doesn’t go along.

The good people of South Carolina should be warming up some tar and feathers and getting a nice sharp rail in shape to welcome that piece of s** Linda Graham when he comes back home.

They won’t have the votes to override a veto.

Dick Dirtbin and the rest of the leftist vermin are lying through their teeth. The president won’t roll over on DACA so now the next narrative of Trump the racist is now in play. All of this is to get the squishes in the GOP to get scared and cave in to a deal which Dirtbin, Schmucky, and the rest of the Dems will only be too happy to get done!

Yep, agree. I am annoyed at many things as of late but they aren’t deal breakers.

DACA is a deal breaker for me.

I didn’t vote for a hypothetical if there is a wall, then DACA can proceed, did you? I voted for no DACA. Period.
