Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fundin
 

The President's latest offer, which he is set to deliver from the White House Saturday at 4 p.m. ET, will link his demand for $5.7 billion for a border wall to the BRIDGE Act, legislation that would extend protections for so-called "Dreamers," undocumented immigrants who arrived in the US as children and are covered by the DACA program.

I just hope they allow travel

I would take Bridge Act with free travel and no AP bullshit.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

yea same

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

Renewable BRIDGE with travel and im in

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

There's 3 threads on the exact same thing.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

Dems should counter:

Offer 1 - $1.5 Billion + BRIDGE Act
Offer 2 - $3.5 Bilion + BRIDGE Act + TPS
Offer 3 - $5.7 Billion + Dream/USA Act + TPS

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

There is no provision for travel outside the US with the Bridge Act. AP was allowed under regulation that is now rescinded and would probably not be enacted again.

So bridge act is 3 year DACA with no travel

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

They can't even counter without Trump blaming the shutdown on them over illegals, that's the problem.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

Do you guys think if the Democrats accepted this deal, that Trump would really sign it? (Could you imagine him offering a deal, the dems accepting it, and Trump saying that it's a bad deal and won't sign?)

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

its gotta be the Dream Act.

its poetic justice that way.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

I wouldn't be surprised if trump freaks out over right wing noise and tries to tack on asylum and immigration nonsense. Even though he just doing this since they think daca won't be taken up by the court. Try to look like the deal maker even though you're barely doing much.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

I have a question if trump offers bridge act. Can’t they change the provision. Revamp the bill like include travel and such?

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

*sigh* It is all excitement, until he posts a tweet completely changing his mind.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

Democrats have to COME TO THE TABLE at least, simple as that. They can go from there and start negotiating but unless they come to the table, ain't nothing going to happen and nobody is going to be blaming Trump I can tell you that. They've clearly low balled us but it is something. The compromise has to be respected by coming to the table.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

they can always add language to it but Republicans wont allow travel for illegals bcuz they are gung ho about national security and is seen as a loophole to AOS in the future for EWIs.

Trump prolly wont allow it either, if it was a Dem President, they can always reinstate AP.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

If they are really concerned with national security, they should look into the gun laws and state of mental health of this country.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

I mean, they can blame him but the public perception here is of trump standing his ground over border security, which is something people aren’t dramatically opposed to. Dems haven’t been doing enough to change their image of pelosi refusing everything, and im positive the progressives are bound to hijack any probable deal.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

the offer was to save face cuz they are losing public opinion over the shutdown. why didnt they include and inform Dems on this offer? its only Republicans.

its a proposal thats gonna go nowhere. we already have temporary protections. Pres Trump gotta cave on a path to citizenship.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

@mkraju

“Not much support among Dems for this Trump plan on two fronts: they want permanent protections for DACA recipients, not just temporary. Plus they want to reopen government first before immigration talks. Shutdown continues.”

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

Dems wont accept. Bridge act is a shitty deal for 5.7b. And they wont counter offer either because as soon as they do, the shutdown becomes about dems protecting illegals. The Republican side has to offer something better

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

CNN are saying Dems will not accept Bridge Act because dreamers have protection for another year or so. Smart. We need USA Act at least. No point for them to cave for Bridge Act.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

we need DJM to make sense of all this.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

it shouldn’t be because of that but because it’s not enough. I’d wipe my ass with the BRIDGE act.
good starting point though.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

I sense sarcasm here, because I struggle at times understanding his discombobulated thoughts. He sounds like someone with Wernike's Aphasia or some type of cognitive speech impediment lol. I like the dude though,


Where you at DJM

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

yeah lmao.

hes a good dude, DJM is fam to me.

we bullshit alot on here.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

DACA already IS a temporary protection and thanks to the Texas lawsuit, it would still be at risk even if he left it in place. The only way this would be worth the while for Democrats is a USA or Dream Act...which doesn't leave people out and can eventually provide some sort of a pathway out of this mess.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

This tells me they are willing to come to the table and start negotiating and putting in offers at least! Surely Pelosi is not stupid to continue with the "no negotiating" attitude!

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

10b + Dream Act lets do this!!!

#MAGA!

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

If nothing else, Trump has made DACA a national issue. Trump's announcement may get more Republicans on our side, even if nothing passes this year or next.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

Fuck you Durbin. Negotiate!

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

Fuck you Afridi

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

Remember the "deal" that was offered last year

$25B for DACA but significantly reduce legal immigration....... we should expect something like this because they know dems will never agree to it. We've been down this road several times. This man is not interested in giving relief; outside of just not having any kinda moral fortitude to do it he will get destroyed by the Limbaughs of his party.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

He is negotiating smh. Can you read?

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

Fuck you too buddy.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

He said end the shutdown, then we'll talk. You know damn well, if that happens, Trump won't get what he wants and he won't give Dems what they want. There's no negotiations right now.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

Why would Durbin support the Bridge Act when DACA is still in place. That’s pointless. A bandaid over another bandaid.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

dont worry dreamer fam.

our issue will be solved in this life or the next. lol

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

Trump should hold the line because Democrats will not give him shit once he re-opens the government.

Re: Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall fu
 

I don't blame him for not supporting the Bridge act, I blame them for not negotiating at all.
