Trump defends immigration proposal against 'amnesty' criticism from conservatives
The Hill ^ | January 20, 2019 | Brett Samuels

Posted on 01/20/2019 9:15:10 AM PST by 4Runner

In a series of tweets, Trump chastised Democrats for dismissing his plan, and attempted to assuage immigration hard-liners who likened the administration's latest proposal to amnesty for immigrants already in the country illegally.

"No, Amnesty is not a part of my offer," Trump tweeted. "It is a 3 year extension of DACA. Amnesty will be used only on a much bigger deal, whether on immigration or something else. Likewise there will be no big push to remove the 11,000,000 plus people who are here illegally-but be careful Nancy!"

Free Republic has it’s own share of snowflakes. There is no way the libs are going to go for this. But now he will be able to do what he really wants to do.

All I can say ,my friend, is that you should thank God every night on bent knee for Donald Trump as our President. The alternative was imminent destruction of our country. He is navigating us back to shore in stormy seas . We will have our Wall, I assure you.

DACA deportations is a political loser. Building a wall is a political winner. Deportations outside of DACA would probably be a political winner. Trump is negotiating.

I am vindictive. Send them home, dead or alive, kids or not. Just dump them across the border. Shoot them if they try to return.

Dumbasses around here apparently didn’t read that the USSC boxed Trump in this week

SCOTUS can't prevent POTUS from enforcing existing law and removing illegals from the interior like Eisenhower did.

Neither can SCOTUS stop Trump from declaring an emergency and militarizing the border.

Have to say I am very disappointed in Trump's proposal. It is Amnesty and we get next to nothing in return for this sellout.

The only answer to this ongoing invasion, which is tearing apart this once great nation, is to put our military on the borders in numbers to absolutely stop the invasion in its tracks and to have the Army Corps of Engineers build a Real Wall that cannot be breached.

The life of our republic hangs in the balance as we are at the tipping point of no return. If this is not done....We are Done as a sovereign nation.

Hello Third World America!

“... Amazing how President Eisenhower deported thousands of illegal aliens with only a fraction of the technology, manpower, and military might that exists today. ...”

Eisenhower had a Country that was 90+% white majority, a democrat party that wasn’t totally and completely asshole communist yet and who still answered to - and feared - the American people for the most part, and a Republican party that was largely behind him.

That is not the case today.

Trump has his hands full. He’ll do the right thing. But he’ll do it his way.

It’s amazing to see how some people in here panic and start pearl clutching and hand wringing before anything is even settled

There's nobody panicking, we're just pointing out that on illegal immigration, this isn't an issue that can be "negotiated."

Now I'm not going to pull an Ann Coulter. I'm willing to see what legislation is voted on before commenting. But think of those Angel Moms and the illegals already here committing crimes and killing Americans. Pretty soon, people are going to start questioning Trump. You can't blame Obama and the Dems forever.

Trump has the power to do interior enforcement. Start removing the illegals here, get rid of the sanctuary policies, and enforce existing laws.

Hello everyone, DACA kids will never be deported, neither side will do that, that’s a fact. Many of them have been here for years and have become acclimated to American life. Many of them are in favor of the wall and support PDJT. We need to concentrate on getting the wall built and immigration reform.

The 9th Circuit can and will. They tied up the “travel ban” remember.

Anything trump does with executive power on immigration will get stopped by a 9th circuit judge for a minimum of 1 to 2 years before it reaches the supreme court. Period.

You're trying to reason with the personality cult that believes that amnesty isn't amnesty if Trump does it.

And that Trump really wants a Wall and not just the issue even though he kept putting it off for the first two years of his term.

And that Hillary doesn't need to be locked up anymore since Trump doesn't want it.

“Free Republic has it’s own share of snowflakes. There is no way the libs are going to go for this. But now he will be able to do what he really wants to do.”

They rejected it before he said anything! Everyone knew they would!

But we have stupid people complaining over a negotiation offer that was known to be rejected, leaving Trump with the good PR, because they will just fly off the handle over anything at this point.

If this was Obama, the left would be mocking us for not being “serious” about taking something we demanded.

But this? Oh dont look for that level of skill from the right. Some of us want to attack Trump for offering.

A good dog can be trained to bark everytime he hears the word amnesty

There’s something going on there I guess with the Middle East stuff and Saudi Arabia and Israel.

There’s a mess from the Khashoggi affair to this notion that the Israelis and Palestinians are all going to sing “Kumbaya” together being pushed by Kushner and Company.

Is hell freezing over anytime soon?

Your entire post is a non-sequitur.

The objective is to ensure both a fair immigration process that encourages assimilation and recognition of our heritage and one that stops criminal illegals from entering the country to begin with.

What does race have to do with it?

The 9th Circus can stop Trump from enforcing existing immigration laws on the books, and precedence that Eisenhower did?

Wow, judges really do have a lot of power.

“How does “temporary” convert to “amnesty”??????”

The same way temporary tax increases never go away?

The so called “11 million” will die of old age here in the US.

But don’t get me wrong, I still think that Trump is the best thing that could have happened to the US, still we shouldn’t delude ourselves as to what is real.
