Good lord...not another silly Hitler reference...That is not what haooenedWhy did he agree to and then reject exactly that when it was offered a year ago?damn near anything you want, including, but mot limited to, signing off on Obama's DACA plan & even a potential pathway to citizenship for dreamersWhat is he willing to give in exchange?
He offered DACA for the wall, including a path to citizenship for 1.8 million "dreamers" and got no funds for the wall
The immigration deal Trump should've taken, but didn't
As we discussed at the time, the basic contours of the deal were straightforward: Schumer was willing to accept funding for a border wall in exchange for DACA protections for Dreamers.
After Trump negotiated the terms, the White House balked: Chief of Staff John Kelly called Schumer soon after to explain the plan wasn’t far enough to the right for Republicans. Trump himself declared that he’d need far more in any deal, including significant cuts to legal immigration.
I’m reminded of something Slate’s Jim Newell wrote back in Matrch:
[All Trump] had to do was accept a 10- to 14-year path to citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants brought to the United States at a young age.
That deal has been on the table for more than a month now: Trump gives Democrats a path to citizenship for 1.8 million Dreamers; Democrats give Trump his full $25 billion wall funding request. […]
It is confounding that Trump didn’t just take the deal.
That was published nearly nine months ago. It’s still confounding that Trump didn’t just take the deal.
"Far enough to the right" to provide 5 billion, 0.00% of the budget for a wall?
Oh my god, these guys are to the right of Hitler.
Meanwhile in the actual reality, Democrats are engaging in Hitler style dysgenic programs, playing with population replacement. Build that wall...
