It's like a fictional movie scene: A president wins election with harsh, anti-immigration rhetoric, then moves to terminate protections for kids of illegal immigrants. He's ridiculed on both sides for his heartlessness — but cheered by a band of white voters who helped put him in office.

Then he suddenly realizes he looks like a cold-hearted jerk — and starts musing about going farther than President Obama got in providing permanent protections to those children of illegal immigrants.


Sound smart: There's a chance this Republican president, with a Republican Congress, ends the year with this list of accomplishments: increasing spending, permanently lifting the cap on debt, propping up Obamacare after failing to repeal it, and offering new protections to children of illegal immigrants.

Sounds like a good idea. I do not know about Obamacare.

Obamacare effects way more peoples than DACA. Democrats will never repeal ACA. If nothing happens before December 12, then are chances of getting permanent relief is very slim.

Why it matters: Like the debt-ceiling fight, Trump forfeited all his leverage before the negotiation. He has virtually no choice but to sign permanent protections into law — and little power to get significant wall funding in exchange.

Eva can you explain to me how he forfeited his leverage? I am very curious about this.

Trump did not loose his leverage. It is Republicans in congress who did. Trump.still has veto power, if you ask me he is the one with most leverage right now.

Strangely enough he does seem to be slightly on our side when it comes to at least extending DACA for border security.

Trump doesn't want any wall funding in the bill. That will kill it. It's a deal breaker for the Democrats.
