Is President Trump toying with the Democrats?
In a Friday morning tweet, Trump taunted them by bringing up DACA. Illegal immigrant lovers have been on tenterhooks for months waiting for the administration to decide the Dreamer’s fate.
“The Democrats have been told, and fully understand, that there can be no DACA without the desperately needed WALL at the Southern Border and an END to the horrible Chain Migration & ridiculous Lottery System of Immigration etc.,” he said in a morning tweet.
“We must protect our Country at all cost!”
Chain migration is an ugly side-effect of our immigration system that conservatives have been trying to eradicate for years.
Trump alienated his own base earlier this year by promising to protect the Dreamers if they coughed up funding for the border wall. I guess he figured that keeping unknown illegals from crossing the border was more valuable than deporting the Dreamers.
Democrats should have leaped at Trump’s proposal, but they allowed 2017 to end without inking a deal. Even liberals are pissed.
“For months, Democratic leaders insisted they would use their leverage in year-end spending bill negotiations to protect Dreamers and reauthorize the Children’s Health Insurance Program, but at the end of the day they let us down and refused to even put up a fight,” CREDO political director Murshed Zaheed said in a statement.
If Trump gets his way, the border will be thoroughly protected. Democrats have no choice but to cave in. Their base will turn against them if they don’t start getting what they want.
