Thread: Breaking: Trump Would Like to See Compromise Immigration Bill

So General Kelly tells us no mass deportations, no military to protect our borders, and that DACA recipients will stay and more people will get amnesty.

Senator Rand Paul is for it. Count it against new people coming in, quotas. Like that will pass the democrats and open border Republicans.

OR - maybe someone 'met him on the tarmac and discussed his grandchildren'.

President Trump May Pitch Comprehensive Immigration Reform in Address

February 28, 2017


President Donald Trump told network anchors Tuesday that he is considering adding a call for a comprehensive immigration reform deal to his joint address to Congress tonight.



Trump’s comments came during the traditional off-the-record lunch to preview the address, and were attributed by multiple outlets to a “senior administration official,” in accordance with ground rules negotiated with the White House.



Trump told the anchors that getting an immigration bill done would require "a softening on both sides. There's got to be a coming together,” CNN reported. Trump is not inclined to include a path to citizenship for most of the people in the U.S. illegally, according to reports, but would consider providing one for those who were brought to the U.S. as children by their parents. Trump has promised to treat those immigrants “in a very humane way.”



White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders said the President’s focus is still on securing the border and removing undocumented immigrants with criminal records. But Sanders held the door open to the White House issuing a call for an immigration reform pact.
“He’s made clear that he’s open to have conversations about that moving forward,” she told reporters, adding that Trump has repeatedly stated that the immigration system is “broken and needs massive reform.”



If Trump calls for immigration reform, he could face opposition not only from his core supporters but also allies inside the White House. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and senior policy advisor Stephen Miller, a former Sessions aide, led the fight on the right to topple the so-called Gang of Eight bill in 2013, the last bipartisan push for comprehensive immigration reform.



Trump told the anchors Tuesday that to get a bill passed, "it has to be a negotiation,” suggesting he could find a solution that pleases all points on the political spectrum.



But there is little appetite on Capitol Hill for taking up immigration reform now. Congressional Republicans already face an uphill battle trying to devise a replacement for Obamacare, the first step in a crowded and complicated legislative calendar that also includes passing a budget, confirming Trump's Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch and crafting a rewrite of the nation's tax laws.

Exactly. I hope he enjoyed his last Rally, because it's the last one he'll need to have. No one is going to another one. Why would they? What a complete idiot he has proved himself to be. Even if he gets 3% growth, it still doesn't make up for the losses of 30 million illegal aliens in the country. You legalize them, then they're ALL on welfare, they're ALL stealing our jobs.

If this is true in any way, shape or form, Trump disgusts me beyond end. Maybe it's Fake News. It could be. Maybe it's a ploy. It could be. Maybe it's a test to show the Republicans in Congress why they can't do what they're trying to brew up in Congress. It could be. Yes, I know I'm grabbing at broken straws like they were broken promises. But it's so stupid, it's hard to believe he's really that dumb!

We'll know shortly ......

Jeff Sessions or Stephen Miller can't help the American people this time to push back against amnesty. Trump shrewdly has them on the inside.

Yes, we sure will know shortly. It's like waiting for the Tornado Warning to end. Either it blew by or blew you away. I could puke. Honestly.

I'm afraid that if his intention is for legalization, but it doesn't make it through congress, then he will simply leave all of them here as they are now.

On my local Fox News, the political analyst made no mention of immigration reform, when speculating what Trump would say.

This would not only reward a group of illegal aliens it will reward and embolden all of those individuals and groups who have stood for illegal activity, with foreign citizens, governments, the Soros groups, so many wanting to hurt us.

Scott, I think one if the news stories mentions Brett Baier of Fox News saying something about it. I will check again.

CNN has been cited more.
