Pelosi: Trump Agreed With Democrats on Pathway to Citizenship for DACA Recipients


by PAM KEY24 Sep 2017



Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said President Donald Trump agreed with her and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that there would be a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients.


Partial transcript as follows:


PELOSI: What we agreed with the president on was that the basic bill would be the DREAM Act. This is a bill introduced — and has nearly 200 co-sponsors — by Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard. It is a bill that we will take forward, and it is the bill that we all support. What was to be determined is if and what there would be in terms of border security. But the essence of the bill is what the president committed to. That is what we trust him to honor.




TODD: He committed to a pathway to citizenship for these DACA recipients?


PELOSI: Now mind you the pathway to citizenship is an earned pathway that is way down the road.


TODD: Some people think there should be no path at all. You believe the president agreed to a pathway to citizenship with this DREAM Act?


PELOSI: That is what is contained in the DREAM Act, yes.

Don't you think there will be other Republican that will vote "yea" that are not cosponsors? Of course there will be. Our best bet is to keep the bill off the House floor, however, I doubt that's going to happen. So, what we'll need is for the Republicans to pass one or more amendments that the Democrats will find unnacceptable ... a poison pill if you will. IMO, it's our job to push the Republicans into adding amendments to the bill that the Democrats have no taste for. Of course in the mean time we must continue to tell the Republicans, NO DREAMER AMNESTY.

Oh sure, there will be several others. Enough? I don't think so, so I don't see it ever getting out of committee. But we have to make sure.

They have their minds made up and still have no idea why Trump got elected and why the dems are loosing seats. It is because legal Americans don't want DACA or Amnesty or illegals living in our countries that no one actually knows who they are. Now they are once again saying most Americans want DACA when in actuality elected officials are the only ones who truly support DACA, they don't hear our voices anymore. Now we need to get people in their seats that will hear our voices again. This is why we all voted for Trump!
