Trump’s fake “compromise” package:
- 3 years protection, which will mostly overlap with the period of time before a final ruling on DHS’s recision of the memo, meaning very little extra protection is given.
- Applies to those currently on DACA, not the eligible persons, so only 700,000 people. The rest he still wants to deport.
So, it’s temporary protections that exist anyway by way of the injunction against the recision that ignored the APA procedures required for recision. They're even calling this the "Bridge Act", which is another lie. The actual Bridge act was pushed by Lindsey Graham (of all people) and Dick Durbin, which would have granted status to the pool of those who are DACA-eligible. This is a huge reduction from that number.
- Changes asylum law to make it far more difficult for individuals to apply for asylum. (Touted as “a new way to apply”). They would first have to apply outside the US in centers not yet in existence in Central America.
- Yearly cap of 15,000 asylum seekers.
So its another huge reduction in an avenue of legal immigration, for the people who need to escape the most, and further continues the administration's assault on legal immigration (despite their claims to want immigrants to come here legally, not illegally; those allegedly smug liberals were right when they joked about them just not liking brown people. They want to quash immigration, period).

Compromise means each side gives the other something meaningful that they don’t want to give.
Compromise does not mean taking hostages, issuing demands, and then offering merely to undo damage already unlawfully done, while also including poison pills that would massively shrink legal immigration.
These swine cannot be trusted.
