    Trump & Democrats Near Agreement on DACA

    Bah ha ha ha ha!

    Trump, Democrats Near Agreement on DACA, Border Security
    Pelosi, Schumer say in statement that deal doesn’t include funding for border wall

    WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats closed in on a deal to give legal status to undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy said in a joint statement that, over dinner at the White House, they had agreed with Mr. Trump on the outlines of a deal to enshrine protections for these young immigrants into law “quickly” and to “work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that’s acceptable to both sides.”

    A separate White House statement called the meeting “constructive” but stopped short of announcing the framework for an agreement. After the Democrats’ statement was issued, a White House official said that no agreement was reached.

    In recent days, both sides appeared to be edging toward this formulation, with Democrats agreeing to include border-security measures, and the White House signaling it would accept the immigrant protections without insisting that the legislation also include funding for the southwest border-wall package.

    Earlier in the day, Mr. Trump had courted Democrats on the subject at a bipartisan meeting, and the dinner Wednesday evening was at his invitation.

    Even before the agreement was announced, these overtures have conservatives worried that the president will agree to a plan without strong immigration enforcement that Republicans favor. In response to those concerns, Mr. Trump said he was hoping for a bipartisan deal and planned to continue talking.

    “Some of the greatest legislation ever passed, it was done on a bipartisan manner. And so that is why we’re going to give it a shot,” he told reporters.

    Even before the agreement was announced, these overtures have conservatives worried that the president will agree to a plan without strong immigration enforcement that Republicans favor. It is unclear whether GOP leaders or members of Congress will fall in line with the agreement that Democrats say was reached.

    On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Trump brushed off GOP concerns. He told reporters that he was hoping for a bipartisan deal and planned to continue talking.

    Mr. Trump raised the subject of the young immigrants at a bipartisan meeting of lawmakers that had been billed as a discussion on a tax overhaul.

    Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a New Jersey Democrat who sat next to Mr. Trump during that meeting, said in an interview afterward that Mr. Trump made “clear that he is open and eager to get bipartisan legislation” to resolve the issue of these immigrants.

    Other Democrats at the meeting said Mr. Trump appeared willing to consider the border wall funding separately from the discussion of the young immigrants but suggested he may want a package to include new limits on legal immigration.

    You actually believe that?

    I thought we've been over this. Pretty much everything CNN, WSJ and NYT writes about Trump are lies. You might want to wait a little before laughing. It makes you look silly.

    Deal or no deal? Trump says he did NOT make an agreement with Democrats on 'Dreamers' and border security despite Chuck and Nancy's claims: 'THE WALL...will continue to be built'

    The deal was announced last night by leading Democrats Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi after a dinner at the White House with the president

    They said that Trump agreed to enshrine protections for 800,000 illegal immigrants, aka Dreamers, in a border security package 'excluding the wall'

    White House press secretary Sarah Sanders later said that there was no agreement on the wall during the meeting

    President Trump said the same thing in a string of tweets on Thursday morning

    'No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote,' he said

    Follow up message: 'The WALL, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls, will continue to be built'

    Trump again pushed Congress to pass legislation protecing the immigrants - but said he wanted 'BIG border security'

    Wow, that is a fantastic argument, well played, I can't possibly think of ANY other reason in the entire world why the President would meet with congressional leaders, other than he wants to give up on a campaign promise.. I mean, what other reason would they have to meet with each other, ever?

    Somebody is lying, either Dump never made such a deal or he is going back on it, either way this test run failed.

    Nothing is inevitable. We've had globalist periods before, and they were stopped, by various actions. Human actions matter. Globalism ebbs and flows. Crime ebbs and flows. Actions, and especially massive actions (such as building a continental wall), do have an effect on history.

    Thomas Massie 2020, or Rand?

    This is pretty close to a resignation from Trump. Time to start looking seriously for a 2020 presidential candidate, IMO. Even if he's not leaving now, he will be after his present term is finished. He's done, stick a fork in 'em!

    Here's the deal. The dems can have their 800k dreamers in return for the Wall.

    "Border security" is going to be part of the DACA deal--the wall is going to be separate.
