Schumer was only trying to avoid blame for a possible government shutdown. Trump had already offered to allow the dreamers to stay in return for funding for the wall and the Democrats had turned him down.You are misinformed. The Democrats never offered funding for the wall. You have the situation backwards. Trump offered them a package, the funding for the wall in exchange for allowing the Dreamers to stay and have a path to citizenship, and the Democrats turned it down. That's why you haven't heard the Democrats talking about the Dreamers since the beginning of the year, because they abandoned them rather than cooperate with the President.That's the deal?Are you lying or just stupid? It was Trump who offered to allow the Dreamers to stay in return for funding for the wall, but the Democrats turned him down.Pardon us if we on't feel the need to use horrific punishment of people (especially children) as a deterrence...that doesn't actually work....
Or want the law to be followed..
SIlly us
And guess what...Trump was offered wall funding several times in exchange for re-instating DACA (which the vast majority of American support) and he turned it down...remember the "shithole meeting"...
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump pressed for action on immigration Thursday, saying the country's system has failed Americans and pressing for his wall on the southern border.
Any legislation to address the residency status of "Dreamers," currently in limbo, "must secure the border with a wall," the president said, flanked by Republican senators who came to the White House for a meeting on immigration.
"We’d love to take care of DACA, but we’re only going to do it under these conditions," he concluded, laying down a red line as Congress gears up for yet another round of fights to fund the government.
Trump: Give me the wall, I'll give you 'Dreamers'
Fund the wall and maybe some time later...You get DACA...or maybe not?
From a guy who had already twice renegged on a deal that was a straight up right now swap?
Bullshit
Pelosi and Schumer put DACA ON THE TABLE in direct exchange for Wall Funding you friggin ijits...and Trump PISSED on it in the "Shithole Summit"
Or did you forget about that already.
And THAT was after they had agreed to a deal with Trump in September...month prior to that.
You are misinformed. The Democrats never offered funding for the wall.
SCHUMER: I put 'the wall' on the table in my meeting with Trump, but he backed out of the deal
Sure.
Nice link.
