Trump claims he'll strike deal for Dreamers with Dems if SCOTUS overturns DACA

President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed he would strike a deal with Democratic lawmakers to ensure that roughly 700,000 undocumented young people are allowed to remain in the U.S. — as long as the Supreme Court overturns the Obama-era initiative that provided those immigrants work authorization and deportation relief.

The president’s pledge comes as the high court begins hearing oral arguments Tuesday over Trump’s attempt to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which former President Barack Obama’s administration established in 2012 to grant protections to so-called “Dreamers” brought to the country as children.

“Many of the people in DACA, no longer very young, are far from ‘angels.’ Some are very tough, hardened criminals,” Trump tweeted. “President Obama said he had no legal right to sign order, but would anyway. If Supreme Court remedies with overturn, a deal will be made with Dems for them to stay!”

Despite Trump's assertion that some Dreamers are “criminals,” foreigners with a felony conviction or extensive misdemeanor records are ineligible for DACA and can be removed from the program if they commit crimes after obtaining DACA status.

Trump announced in September 2017 his intention to phase out DACA after a six-month period, giving Congress time to enact a legislative fix before the official expiry date of March 5, 2018. But three federal judges blocked the administration’s plans, and two federal appeals courts subsequently issued rulings against the wind-down.

Meanwhile, the Democrat-controlled House approved a bill in June to grant conditional legal status to an estimated 2.3 million Dreamers, although Congress has failed to pass a comprehensive solution.

The Supreme Court said in June that it would hear arguments over Trump’s DACA termination, and a decision by the justices is likely to come next spring or as late as the end of June 2020.

Just like he said he was going to release his taxes after the audit. Don't believe anything that comes out of this guys mouth.

Yep. I hope the Supreme Court don't listen to him.

“Many of the people in DACA, no longer very young, are far from ‘angels.’ Some are very tough, hardened criminals,” Trump tweeted. “President Obama said he had no legal right to sign order, but would anyway. If Supreme Court remedies with overturn, a deal will be made with Dems for them to stay!”

He loves us alright.

Dude is full of love and compassion, I gotta admit that

Read that carefully, in that statement he kills 2 birds with one shot, first part is to calm down the radicals and the other part to calm us down.

Art of the deal at play.

UPDATE: Conservative Supreme Court justices appear sympathetic to Trump's effort to end DACA program. Oral argument has concluded

Some of the justices seemed to suggest the DACA rescission decision might not even be reviewable by courts. But even if it is, they seem likely to find that the administration's reasoning (in Nielsen memo) was minimally sufficient

Kavanaugh: No reason to think that Nielsen's consideration of factors was not a "considered decision"

Chief Justice: Isn't the citation to 5th Circuit DAPA decision and 4-4 SCOTUS split in that case enough?


Solicitor General Noel Francisco said something about DACA rescission that Trump never has:

"We own this."

They where at 9 central time and they are done hearing the arguments check my post above to some insight
