‘No more DACA deal!’ Trump rules out legal status for childhood arrivals
2018-04-02
[RT] Donald Trump has said there will be no deal to give legal status to migrants who came to the US as minors. In a series of tweets on Sunday, he also told Republicans to take the “nuclear option” and eliminate the Senate filibuster.

The US president began his tirade by claiming that catch-and-release laws are hindering efforts at border protection. Trump then attacked Mexico, saying the country was doing “very little, if not nothing” to stop migrants from other Central American countries from crossing its southern border on their way to the US. As punishment for their perceived inaction, Trump threatened to dismantle the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

#7  he also told Republicans to take the “nuclear option” and eliminate the Senate filibuster.

I'd be concerned that establishment Pubs wouldn't support using the nuclear option to advance legislation to get immigration fixed.

#5  Can't wait to hear how CNN / MSNBC spin this.

He gave them every opportunity to fix it - now he's going to (gasp!) enforce existing law...

#4  They won't fund his wall so he won't give them DACA. He tried to make a deal but the donks blew it. Now he gets the wall and the donks get nothing. Works out pretty well as far as I'm concerned. Mexico won't fund the wall so they're gonna lose NAFTA. So when the wall is there and NAFTA is history it'll be win-win for the USA.

#1  So, was that the game plan from the beginnings - or is the Don incredibly good at taking advantage of opportunities?
