Pelosi’s Dreamer Pawns

Mr. Trump’s offer has the benefit of testing Democratic sincerity. Democrats claim they won’t negotiate while 25% of the government is shut down, but why should Mr. Trump assume they’ll negotiate in good faith if he agrees to their budget terms? Speaker Nancy Pelosi has already said she won’t provide a penny for something called a wall.

Her refusal to negotiate even after Mr. Trump’s new offer suggests that she’s concerned that Mr. Trump might get some credit for a bipartisan immigration victory. Like restrictionist pundits, the left doesn’t want to solve the problem. They want immigration as a perpetual campaign issue and TV-rating fodder.

If the Dreamers are legalized on Mr. Trump’s watch, the President will have accomplished what Democrats didn’t. They helped to scuttle George W. Bush’s reform in 2007 when they controlled Congress. They did nothing on immigration when they controlled the entire government with a Senate supermajority in 2009. Barack Obama then resorted to illegal executive orders rather than negotiate with a House GOP majority.

This is an opinion piece though.

the opinion piece, but I'm glad it was published. Some Americans don't understand why the deal isn't being made. the more attention brought to it the more pressure placed on both sides.

Agreed. The more coverage the better.

Trump ain't getting his wall per Pelosi.

Trump would really test the dems if he offered greencards in exchange for the wall

He should. But Miller must stay out of negotiations. He’s a walking poison pill.

Trump wants his wall in exchange for literally nothing. Why would Pelosi give him the opportunity to pull another stunt like he did with every given oppertunity?

He threatened to veto any bill that wasn't Goodlatte's, then wanted full funding for 3 years of DACA and recently married both shit offers with the Bridge Act combined with elements of Good latte.

Can you imagine if the courts struck down DACA and he gained all the bargaining power? He'd want to end birthright citizenship in exchange for DACA.

Meanwhile Pelos and Trump keep fighting like little kids do. Perhaps our great leader has found his match.
