"If I were him, I would float the rumor that I intended to turn the layoffs into permanent RIFs so the government employees could draw unemployment."

Actually, that would be brilliant in several ways.

1. He gets to say they will get a "check."
2. The check won't cost as much to the taxpayer.
3. Those jobs can be phased out.
4. The unemployment is generally for 12 months (only).

"What are RIFs"

RIF = Reduction In Force.

What used to be called "Corporate Downsizing" but that didn't sound good to shareholders...which used to be called "laid off."

RIF = Laid Off (i.e. typically not "fired.").

He’s going to close the border is my guess. Isn’t it unusual for a Saturday address? Must be big.

He should have closed the border on day one. Then came on and said “The border is now closed. Your workers will not be getting any salary from the US and the cars, perishable food items, products of all kind are now going to sit at the entry points and rot and Mexico will lose a billion dollars a day or more. Have a good evening. Let me know when you need this to change.”

You would see Mexico write a check for the wall so fast the Dems heads would spin and explode. They only thing Mexico would ask at that point is “How much do we make this check out for?”

“Didn’t work before, but puts the heat squarely on the RATS back.”

But this time Trump will put the offer to 50 million people, live, including 800,000 dreamers.

There’s probably not even 5 million today that know the offer has already been made and rejected.

It puts enormous pressure on Dim “leadership”, and the rank and file.

Why in blazes would any GOP senator go along with the rats to remove Pence? Pence is as clean as they come, nothing would make him resign.

The Pres. Pelosi idea is nothing but mental mast****tion by the libtards.

H1B visas are the second most disgusting thing to illegal aliens.

Re: “The Supremes just took the DACA card off the table for Trump.”

The “Real” DACA card has never been played.

Trump could end DACA tomorrow with this two sentence Executive Order:

“According to the exact language in the Immigration and Nationality Act, the DACA kids are unlawfully present in the USA. Therefore, I order the Secretary of Homeland Security to remove them.”

An Executive Order that enforces the exact language in a lawful statute cannot be reviewed by a judge.

Democrats can only challenge the constitutionality of the statute, a process that would take years, and the statute would remain in force unless and until the Supreme Court ruled against it.

Unfortunately, Trump has made it very clear that he will only deport DACA kids who are dangerous criminals.

Trump is going to offer a more generous DACA Amnesty on Saturday.

The Democrats will refuse - because they are completely confident that they can beat Trump and take back the Senate and the House in 2020.

I did not hear him. Use everything - but do not take any option off the table before we even start.

Some Ds will go for it - but Pelosi and Upchukie will not.

My goodness what a bunch pearl clutching trolls posting in this thread. The President haven’t even spoken and they already know what he plans to offer. It’s like they live in an alternative universe than the one where the man is winning.

Bingo.

Wow strawman much? My point was if your choice is keeping and continuing to allow 10 million unskilled and barely literate immigrants who most do not speak English and are massive drains on taxpayers or 0.5 million skilled tech workers to stay, I’d choose the second all day every day. Doesn’t mean I’d like it. But far better than both staying.

I expect that he'll make them an offer they can't refuse...

(Yes, I kept this 'breakfast friendly'... :) )

Well, I’ll wait to see what he says, but repeated offers while the traitors running the Democrat party hold fast encourages the Rats and encourages the invading illegal aliens to keep coming. Thousands pouring into the country every day are soldiers for the left.

H1B Visas are as horrible as amnesty. They truly are taking American high-paying jobs. This is disgusting.
