Donald trump Omnibus bill tweet - Page 4

Why would we take this shitty deal? We still have DACA protection thanks to the court and dems are likely to take control of the house this November. Also with everything and all the chaos going on, I wouldn't make a deal right now.

The omnibus bill shows Republicans are losing interest in sticking up for Trump on immigration

If someone can post this article, it explain what’s in the omnibus

Anyone who would agree with the 25 billion in exchange for three years of DACA is delusional. First, those with DACA already have two more years, and second just like we are being held hostage by the Republicans, the wall is being held hostage by the Democrats.

Trump said it himself. DACA is tied to the wall, so no DACA= no wall.

Trump is such a moron. Citizenship for wall. Easy as that.

1.6B for the wall for 6 months funding only! No DACA! Big win for Trump.

Yeah, even though that is not really accurate, that's how Trump will spin it.

Democrats are just making themselves look bad by giving him any money for border security, especially because the GOP was insisting on that money. So, Dems . . .cave again and sell out Dreamers in the process. That's how this shit seems to be.

This is interesting, looks like there will be less raids as they hit their budget cap:

Under the last budget, ICE was given enough money to keep 39,324 immigrants in detention at any given time. They’ve been overshooting that cap by more than 1,000 immigrants a day. To cover the increased costs, they’ve been shifting money from other areas — something the administration is allowed to do up to a certain point — and asking for supplemental funding from Congress as, essentially, a reimbursement.

As the explanatory text for the omnibus shows, Congress is not pleased:

Between October 1, 2017, and the date of enactment of this Act, when the Department was operating under the terms of a continuing resolution (CR), ICE exceeded its annualized rate of funding for Custody Operations. During the period of any future CR, including any CR for fiscal year 2019, ICE is directed to manage its resources in a way that ensures it will not exceed the annualized rate of funding for the fiscal year. ICE is directed to update the Committees weekly on its rate of operations for Custody Operations to demonstrate how the agency is living within its means.

The omnibus gives ICE money to keep an average of 40,520 immigrants in detention on any given day. In order to meet that target (and “live within their means”), they’ll have to start detaining fewer immigrants than that by the end of the fiscal year.

Compared to what Congress authorized last year, this is still an expansion of detention. But the Trump administration didn’t actually take that authorization seriously. And instead of responding by giving ICE the money it needs to keep holding more immigrants, Congress is reminding ICE who holds the purse strings.
