Donald Trump: Wall Funding Will Be Part of DACA Deal With Democrats

12

President Donald Trump says he’s going to get a border wall — but he might have to give a little bit on DACA to get it.

President Donald Trump is standing fast by his vow to build the border wall. But he said he might have to give up DACA to bring it into reality.

He said during an interview on ABC that he might consider putting DACA on the bargaining table with Democrats, in order to accomplish his larger — loudly promised — campaign and White House goals of a border wall.

Hard core conservatives won’t be happy.

But in general, his base might be.

Breitbart has more:

President Donald Trump restated his support for wall funding, telling reporters on Monday that it would be part of any deal with Democrats to legalize illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children.

“We need a wall in this country. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it,” Trump said during a press conference with Mitch McConnell on Monday. “We need a wall and that will be part of it.”

Trump was asked by ABC’s Jon Karl if he would insist that wall funding would be part of a deal with Democrats to provide a solution for DACA recipients.

The president pointed out that Mexico was “not doing particularly well” on stopping drugs and illegal immigration from coming into the United States, which was why it was a priority.

Trump also spoke about the wall during a cabinet meeting at the White House.

“We have a very good relationship with Mexico but there are a lot of problems, and we don’t want the drugs and we don’t want the crime, but we need the wall,” he said.

He also signaled his opposition to “chain migration,”

Recently, we’ve asked Congress to ensure that any proposed immigration reform ends chain migration,” he said. “It’s critical for creating a system that puts American workers and the American taxpayer first.”

The DACA deal must pass for them it is crucial in the bringing about of the NWO, (they must destroy the USA because it represents FREEDOM like they destroyed GREECE because it represents DEMOCRACY) DACA will lead to other things.
If Vegas was jihadis then all the more reason to cover it up and cover up is 100% confirmed as any negative publicity against muslims could jeopardise the DACA deal in a BIG way.

Those that are desperate to get DACA through have a win at ALL costs attitude, doesn’t matter the COST they MUST get it through.

THIS IS TRUMPS GREATEST TEST AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

‘Secure Our Border First Act’ Deception | Retired INS Michael Cutler

If purportedly securing our southern border is “first” the obvious question
is: “What is second?”

“Second” has nothing to do with enforcement but rather with providing unknown millions of illegal aliens with lawful status. As I have noted in many of my articles, this is a bad idea for a long list of reasons, but let’s begin with the fact that there is no way to interview these foreign nationals in person. There is no way to conduct a sufficient number of field investigations that fraud would be deterred…..

The Implications of DACA Amnesty and Chain Migration

THE MEDIA CONTINUES TO REPEAT THE LIE OF ONLY 800,000 ILLEGAL ALIENS UNDER DACA…..

ICE Agent: “My Job Obsolete, Borders Now Wide Open;” Career ICE Official:

“We’re Being Kept in Dark;” 40 Mlln Amnesty, NOT Just 5 Mlln
Those are just some of the reactions I’ve gotten from demoralized Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who contacted me yesterday and last night regarding Barack Obama’s announcement of mass amnesty for illegal aliens via executive fiat.

That’s like having an always-open Open Borders Door every twenty miles.

I have a solution, border guards must be permitted to simply gun down individuals as they enter the country illegally. My bet that illegal entry will almost entire stop over-night.

I’m thoroughly disappointed and disgusted. It’s like capping one hole in the dike and telling us the dike won’t leak. I suspect Trump does not plan to run again in 2020. If not, we’ve got only a few years left before the United States loses its culture, safety and sovereignty completely. Because the NWO will put their people to run in both parties. They will have had 4 years to plan on how to keep out all other candidates and avoid any surprises by a voter upset.

DACA recipients have committed hundreds of brutal crimes against American citizens. Trump should know they are not all worthy of DACA!

What is the purpose of negotiating a compromise deal with virulently obstinate and contentious Democrats on DACA, so the wall can be built, if it has been the President’s firmest position since the campaign to unequivocally have Mexico pay for it, now or tomorrow? Funding? Are there more John McCains out there to do to it what he did to destroy Republicans’ and Trump’s rescinding of Obama’s miserably failed Healthcare plan? I’m still not sure he’ll give in to them so that somehow they save face for their own impotence and egregious misdeeds, but there’s definitely something missing here.

Why on earth does a GOP president with a GOP congress and a GOP senate have to do anything to appease the Democrats?

The main reason that I can see is the stupid rule that in order to pass the Senate you need a 2/3 majority as opposed to a simple majority. This was initiated as a means of giving the minority a larger say than they should have. EVERYTHING that is voted on in the country is done by simple majority. The first thing that needs to be done is to do away with this absurd rule that allows the minority party to control what happens.

The Democrats are only pissed because the wall will give us a new and effective measure of border security to keep illegals out and none will be part of the workforce to build it.

Agreed. An illegal alien’s first act upon entering the country is to violate the law, namely immigration law. After that, law breaking just seems to come as naturally to them as ordering up a set of eggs.
