Trump makes opening demands for 'Dreamer' deal — including funding for the wall

President Donald Trump, who pledged to work with Democrats to shield from deportation a group of young immigrants living in the US illegally after being taken to the country as children, on Sunday called for money to fund a border wall and thousands more immigration officers to be part of any deal.

Trump's list of immigration "principles," laid out in a document seen by Reuters, is likely to be a nonstarter for Democrats, who are seeking a legislative fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that Trump ended last month.

The proposal includes a crackdown on unaccompanied minors who enter the US, many of them from Central America. The plan was delivered to leaders in Congress on Sunday evening.

The White House wants the wish list to guide immigration legislation in Congress and accompany a bill to replace DACA, an Obama-era program that protected nearly 800,000 Dreamers from deportation and also allowed them to secure work permits.

The inclusion of border-wall funding in the list could prompt Democrats to accuse Trump of rowing back earlier suggestions that he would keep the wall issue separate from an initiative to help DACA recipients. The White House priorities, if enacted, could result in the deportation of Dreamers' parents.

Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, the Senate and House minority leaders, issued a joint statement Sunday rejecting the White House's proposals.

"The administration can't be serious about compromise or helping the Dreamers if they begin with a list that is anathema to the Dreamers, to the immigrant community, and to the vast majority of Americans," the two leaders said in the statement.

"We told the president at our meeting that we were open to reasonable border-security measures alongside the DREAM Act, but this list goes so far beyond what is reasonable. This proposal fails to represent any attempt at compromise. The list includes the wall, which was explicitly ruled out of the negotiations," they added.

"If the president was serious about protecting the Dreamers, his staff has not made a good faith effort to do so."

The proposals also include a request for funds to hire 370 more immigration judges; 1,000 attorneys for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency; 300 federal prosecutors; and 10,000 additional ICE agents to enforce immigration laws.

"The president has made clear he wants Congress to act and pass responsible immigration reform in conjunction with any legislation related to DACA," the White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said.

Trump told Congress it had six months to come up with legislation to help Dreamers, who are a fraction of the 11 million immigrants living in the US illegally, most of whom are Hispanic.

The document calls for tighter standards for those seeking US asylum, denial of federal grants to so-called sanctuary cities, which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, and a requirement that employers use an electronic verification system known as E-Verify to keep unauthorized immigrants from securing jobs.

Put 10,000 ICE agents in California and do a sweep...get all illegals and Visa overstays off our soil

Then those 10,000 ICE agents do a sweep of AZ...then TX...then FL...then NY....CO...then Chicago and on down the line

All captured...put them in the Stadium...process and fingerprint and BUS them to the border

Concentrate them in one State at a time to net more of them!!! Not spread them out.

Deport them all.

Mexico dumped them on us...dump them back on Mexico

The proposals also include a request for funds to hire 370 more immigration judges; 1,000 attorneys for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency; 300 federal prosecutors; and 10,000 additional ICE agents to enforce immigration laws.

YES!! The reason I searched for this article is because of the confusing reports. Fox and Friends is posting 600 new federal immigration prosecutors and 10,000 ICE agents but then interviewed Kellyanne Conway who said they wanted 1,000 new ICE agents and 300 prosecutors. The truth is always in the details, the 1,000 number is not ICE agents but attorneys for ICE. The 600 number includes prosecutors and immigration judges.

We need 60 Senators to achieve this along with the wall, RAISE ACT, and so much more outlined in this plan. It seems to me that this whole conversation is a set-up to make it the Number One Issue of the 2018 Midterm Elections to Drain the Swamp that allowed 30 million illegal aliens into the United States in the first place. I sure hope so anyway! The question is will Republicans, Independents and Democrat Trump Voters stick together to elect more US Senators who support an end to illegal immigration and who also oppose amnesty. I sure hope so!!!

Hand all unaccompanied minor's immediately into the care and custody of THEIR President.

We are not the daycare center for the World!

Take care of your own children...we do not want them here.

Get on birth control, get on the 7 year implant, get the vasectomies going. Quit breeding in the dirt.

Democrats are representing the wrong people in the wrong country.

Each and everyone of them should move to Mexico or get their priorities
straight or face the consequences of losing there place in government as a national party.

Enough is enough already

if JFK rose from the dead, he would not recognize the democrat party and what it has turned into..... the party representatives of Mexico and Latin America.

White House lays out DACA amnesty deal

. . . all issues the White House says need to be part of any bill Congress passes to legalize illegal immigrant “Dreamers” currently protected by the Obama-era deportation amnesty known as DACA . . .


Trump unveils new strict 70-point immigration enforcement plan, DACA amnesty

They will fight over this for the next two years

Let work permits expire and out they go
