But listen carefully to the follow-up question, what do you require to do such a deal, it's the same very long list of 70 plus 2 items. It's the HUUGE stacked deck. And I read it on his face, he's not budging an inch on anything. He just doesn't read off all the 72 items in a 10 second answer to a reporters question.

Now, if in the unlikely event, Congress calls his bluff, and gives him everything he's asked for, then what? It will be up to Republicans in the House to kill it. The one difference between the Reagan Amnesty of 1986 and the remote possibility of a DACA Amnesty in 2018, is Reagan's Amnesty occurred half way through his second term. This DACA DEAL would be happening early in Trump's second year of his first term. The reason that could be important would be the probably opportunity for Trump to make the programs are fully funded, fully implemented, and all resources and personnel on board and in play before there would be a new President to cancel it all out. Once people see the enormous benefits of border security, interior enforcement, prompt swift rapid deportations, no more chain migration, no more lottery, reduced legal immigration and so forth ... it would be very difficult for a new President to alter that. Clinton blew in after Reagan, and granted more amnesties, created TIN and while he did a good job on employer enforcement, there was inadequate enforcement on the border and increased legal immigration.

To me, it's still wrong and the Republicans in the House must kill it, any and every way they can. That's my opinion. But I'm not President, so while I hope and believe this is a bluff and the DemoQuacks won't go for it, the deck is so stacked so high, there's a possibility that the impact of a DACA DEAL would be greatly diminished. It's still stealing 800,000 jobs from Americans, still burdening Americans with welfare support for these people and their offspring. It's still .... a bad deal, like any amnesty by any name for any reason is a bad deal.
