Trump says ‘no amnesty for Dreamers,’ warns Pelosi
2019-01-22
[PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 insists he will not allow "amnesty" for the young undocumented immigrants colonists, who were brought to the country as children amid an ongoing government shutdown.

"No, Amnesty is not a part of my offer," Trump tweeted on Sunday, referring to a set of proposals he had made in a White House address a day earlier to end the roughly-one-month-long shutdown.

The deal included giving about one million immigrants colonists a three-year protection from deportation in exchange for $5.7 billion in funding for a wall along the US southern border.

The one million comprises 700,000 of the young immigrants colonists, known as Dreamers, who remain protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and 300,000, who fled their countries and are facing the expiration of their "temporary protected status."

"It is a three year extension of DACA. Amnesty will be used only on a much bigger deal, whether on immigration or something else," Trump added.

The Democrats, who believe funding a wall is unnecessary, turned down the deal outright, saying it did not ensure permanent protections for the one million.

 called the offers "a compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total do not represent a good-faith effort to restore certainty to people’s lives."

Trump also threatened Pelosi, signaling that if his proposals remained unheeded by the Democrats, he could initiate a push for mass expulsion of illegal migrants colonists in the country.

"There will be no big push to remove the 11,000,000-plus people who are here illegally-but be careful Nancy!" he cautioned.

#7  A 3 year delay on deciding what to do about an issue is not amnesty. It's kicking the can down the road, and possibly making it worse, depending on who is President in 3 years (my bet would be on Trump again, but I could be wrong), but it is not amnesty. And by offering such an obviously generous deal that he knew that Pelosi would never take, he showed everyone who cares just how much of a ridiculous figure Pelosi is, and how she is refusing to even both to negotiate, whether in good faith or not. Making the offer was a brilliant decision. The worst case scenario for Trump when he made it was that they would accept and then his wall would be built and he would have clearly won the shutdown, having gotten his major objective delivered and having proposed the final compromise.

#6  Trump seems to completely understand the "Lucy-with-the-football" nature of the DC creatures. Reagan got jobbed on immigration and that's been the template ever since. Trump doesn't want to play that game. Bully, sir. Bully!

#5  This Wicked Witch of the West has been in office since 1987; 17 terms. Part of her district is a garbage pit and a high crime area, drug-infested area with homeless sleeping on the streets. She is the poster child for term limits.

Trump is going to have to finish the wall without the Nancy's and the House Dem's blessing. She is not going to agree to anything Trump. This is a "tinkling" contest. I'm betting on Trump.

#2  A three-year extension of DACA *is* amnesty.

#1  Amnesty offsets 11,000,000+ Republican voters with Central American voters is the dream of the wicked witch of the west.
