Thread: VIDEO: President Trump's Statement on DACA

President Trump's comments about DACA following meeting with republican Senator Lindsey Graham and other backers of amnesty.

The republicans in attendance were there to represent citizens of foreign nations, not their own fellow Americans. They undoubtedly stroked the ego of the president to say you can succeed at amnesty where other presidents have failed.

The president noted that democrats will need to come along.

"Hopefully things will work out very well."

"We really are at a point where we can do something spectacular."

Putting "America First" does not include amnesty of any type. Having meetings for amnesty and not solely on immigration enforcement measures to stop illegal immigration and out of control immigration is most disappointing.


Those giddy republicans like Lindsey Graham, Thom Tillis, Lankford, Jeff Flake are betraying the country and the citizens while destroying our country pleading for radicals.

I think the "giddy" ones are the ones who will be disappointed. I sure hope so anyway!

This meeting today is about the budget and agenda for the year, Trump has already said, anything to do with DACA will be separate from the Budget.

It is so disgusting to hear Trump talk about getting something done that Lindsey Graham has been working on for "many years" which means the big Amnesty we have been fighting since 2006!

The meeting with the GOP Senators was about the budget and the whole 2018 Agenda. The press only asked about DACA to give the erroneous impression that the meeting was about DACA. DACA is just one blip on a big screen of big issues this President wants to get done which is why he had his short list summary of the 70 immigration items he needs Congress to help with in a DACA deal.

Senate Republicans to meet with Trump Thursday on DACA

A group of Senate Republicans are expected to meet with President Trump at the White House on Thursday as they try to get on the same page ahead of a looming fight over immigration.

"We're supposed to meet at the White House tomorrow, a number of Senate Judiciary Committee members, to talk more about DACA because everybody is trying to figure out what the path forward is," Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) told reporters on Wednesday.

The meeting comes as Democrats are angling to include a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as part of a mid-January showdown to fund the government and avoid across-the-board budget caps.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has promised to give a DACA fix a vote if negotiators can reach a deal this month, though he has not pledged to include it in a "must pass" bill, like a government funding agreement.

Cornyn signaled that Republicans are looking to get guidance from the president about what he would accept as part of any deal.

"I think as soon as the president will tell us 'OK, this is something I could support' then I think that gives us, I think, a lot of room to go talk to Democrats and say 'OK, this what our parameters are,'" he said.

The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about the meeting.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, has been leading talks among GOP senators on his panel, as well as with Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), James Lankford (R-Okla.) and David Perdue (Ga.), about a potential deal that pairs an immigration fix with a border security package.

A spokesman for Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, confirmed that the GOP senator would also be taking part in Thursday's White House meeting.

The meeting with Trump comes after White House chief of staff John Kelly met with a bipartisan group of senators, including Cornyn, Sen. Jeff Flake(R-Ariz.) and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), last month.

Senators said after the meeting that they expected to get a list from the White House on what border security and related priorities it needs included in any DACA deal.

Senators noted earlier Wednesday that they were still waiting for the list.
