Trump issues veto threat over Senate’s latest amnesty
The Washington Times ^ | February 15, 2018 | Stephen Dinan

President Trump issued his first veto threat of the immigration debate on Thursday, with the White House saying the plan being offered by Senate Democratic leaders and a handful of GOP rebels would make border security worse, not better.

In a statement from press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House said the plan would prevent agents from going after illegal immigrants unless they arrive after June 30, 2018.

Analysts have said that creates an incentive for people to flood the border now, hoping to get into the U.S. before the deadline — and it also protects perhaps 10 million illegal immigrants already in the U.S. from serious threat of deportation.

“The administration is committed to finding a permanent, fair, and legal solution for DACA. But this amendment would only compound the problem by encouraging millions of additional minors to be smuggled into the United States,” Ms. Sanders said. “We need to solve the problem, not perpetuate it indefinitely.”

They will likely credit their whining and pearl-clutching for the veto threat. They are just that narcissistic.

This will protect MS13 and encourage more to come into the USA not to mention the recruiting among the El Salvador insurgent illegal alien criminal invaders by the hardcore members already here.

The dems and their buddies in the eGOP have no love for stopping violence in our country.

Don’t blink POTUS

Ummm... no. Path to citizenship starts AFTER the wall is built. Continue with all depotations during construction. If there are any left after completion, then we’ll talk.

Build the wall.

Enforce the law.

**************

The wall is a needed start for sure. But it
only solves about 1/2 the illegal problem.

I seriously don’t get this weird aversion we have for the military to actually be on the international border of the nation they are SUPPOSED TO PROTECT.

We have them on the 38th parallel in Asia. Is S. Korea still breathing?

Path to citizenship starts the day the first brick is laid for the wall. Once the wall is complete, whoever was here, registered and vetted will be offered citizenship.

No

Key phrase.

The dems will make sure it take decades to “complete” the wall.

Quite so. That's why the first line in my comment was "Deport them all. No exceptions."

I knew it wasn’t going to happen. Trump laid out his 12-year plan for these illegals which is very fair.

But these stupid RINO and Dummycrat clown car keeps revving up the gas and clueless the Trump Train is in front of them..

>>Looks like this Senate bipartisan DACA deal is already DOA.<<

This is the only time we should support abortion — this POS bill (other than aybe the birth of certain individuals).
