Trump to Support DACA Protections for More Wall Funding

Moonie times has been caught lying an infinite amount of times...they are not a factual source

I did not know that. You may as well go back to BuzzFeed for the latest democrat approved story lines.
 
Why is it hard to understand that a better trade deal with Mexico is going to create more money in the federal treasury? Sure he said Mexico but he also said more than once that if he didn't get the money from Mexico he would get it another, trade.

he Washington Times had gotten the story wrong. No one affiliated with the Gore campaign had requested the water level be raised; the head of the river commission had come up with the idea, hoping Gore's canoe ride would bring national attention to her cause.

The $7 million price tag was wildly misleading; the local utility company that owned the dam had already planned the release the water, as it habitually does, and simply moved up the release time to accommodate Gore's trip.

and it gets worse from there...so if you are going to use a source, be sure they have not been sued and caught multiple times, outright lying.

and he isn't getting it either way....there is no trade deal and we are losing out in trade more than Mexico is...Mexico can simply sell to every other country, other than the US....he didn't think it through, nor did you evidently.
 
I have a question. How long does the shutdown continue before I can start claiming dibs on tanks and stuff?
 
Again, here's a compromise:

- Permanent amnesty for illegals that are already here and have 30 days to register, but the border wall is fully funded (construction can start whenever Trump gives the green light) and any illegal that doesn't meet the 30th day deadline are deported and will be barred from the US

- Children of illegals that are born here are citizens of the US (has to be in law, not just word of mouth), but they can't vote until they're 30 years old

- Illegals that are already here and are registered as citizens can qualify for welfare (so long as the requirements to actually be on it are met), but they have to pay taxes for the next 5 years, and those not on welfare because they didn't qualify must pay their current taxes and as a penalty pay an additional 10 years of taxes (not all at once, but they must pay for them, and they can figure out what the number would be)

- Drones and and other devices can be used at the border, but the wall has to be up first with border patrol agents occupying it

- Illegals that were granted amnesty and had registered as citizens of the US are allowed to vote, but not for the next 25 years

- Illegals that were granted amnesty and had registered as citizens of the US are protected under our laws, but they must face the penalties if they violate any of them, hence sanctuary cities/states must cease to exist

- Illegals seeking asylum here in the US can do so, but they will be disqualified from becoming citizens, and will be barred and deported from the this country if they break any of our laws

- Illegal families can be reunited with their kids and/or loved ones can qualify for amnesty and registration for US citizenship (so long as the kids are here within the 30 day grace period), but MS-13 members, drug cartel members, and anyone with a criminal history here already or are coming in are deported immediately and are barred from entering our country

Sounds fair enough to me if you want to be bipartisan and actually compromise. Otherwise, if the Democrats don't, Trump should, and rightfully so, declare a national security and handle this problem himself, then sign a budget deal to reopen the part of government that's shutdown. If you guys on the Left care about compromise, here you go. I'm not keen on amnesty, but if that's what it takes to actually avoid from declaring a national emergency at the border and actually see our officials work together, this should be sound. This solves everyone's problems and there's no question on what each one of these requirements means. However, I know what the Left and their leaders would say: no deal. Because that means the non-Leftists get what they want as well, and that's a big no-no to them. By all means, though, prove me wrong and say this is fair and bipartisan.
 
Again, here's a compromise:

- Permanent amnesty for illegals that are already here and have 30 days to register, but the border wall is fully funded (construction can start whenever Trump gives the green light) and any illegal that doesn't meet the 30th day deadline are deported and will be barred from the US I can agree with this

- Children of illegals that are born here are citizens of the US (has to be in law, not just word of mouth), but they can't vote until they're 30 years old the constitution bars second class citizenship...and that is what this would be. Children of illegals often serve in the military at 17 so why should they not be allowed to vote? Unless you are going to take away their liability to be taxed until 30...remember taxation without representation?

- Illegals that are already here and are registered as citizens can qualify for welfare (so long as the requirements to actually be on it are met), but they have to pay taxes for the next 5 years, and those not on welfare because they didn't qualify must pay their current taxes and as a penalty pay an additional 10 years of taxes (not all at once, but they must pay for them, and they can figure out what the number would be) ok

- Drones and and other devices can be used at the border, but the wall has to be up first with border patrol agents occupying it

- Illegals that were granted amnesty and had registered as citizens of the US are allowed to vote, but not for the next 25 years so again you have the issue of taxation without representation...they can't vote until they become citizens, but once they are citizens the constitution stops you from disallowing them a vote

- Illegals that were granted amnesty and had registered as citizens of the US are protected under our laws, but they must face the penalties if they violate any of them, hence sanctuary cities/states must cease to exist

- Illegals seeking asylum here in the US can do so, but they will be disqualified from becoming citizens, and will be barred and deported from the this country if they break any of our laws why should they be forbidden from citizenship? Shouldn't we encourage assimilation instead of discourage it?

- Illegal families can be reunited with their kids and/or loved ones can qualify for amnesty and registration for US citizenship (so long as the kids are here within the 30 day grace period), but MS-13 members, drug cartel members, and anyone with a criminal history here already or are coming in are deported immediately and are barred from entering our country This is already the law anyway, remember a good portion of MS 13 and drug dealers aren't immigrants anyway...they are US citizens, born here
