Trump: DACA solution should be a 'bill of love'

Source: The Hill




BY JORDAN FABIAN - 01/09/18 12:27 PM EST

President Trump said Tuesday that lawmakers should pass a “bill of love” to resolve the fate of young immigrants who benefit from an Obama-era program he scrapped last year.

“I hope we’re going to come up with an answer for DACA,” Trump said, referring to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The president met with lawmakers from both parties at the White House as negotiations over a must-pass spending bill have hit a snag over immigration.

Democrats are demanding that DACA recipients be addressed as part of the funding deal and are frustrated with Republicans who have balked at tying the two issues together.

That’s what Putin pays when Trump hires escorts in Russia and the Kremlin picks up the tab

It must be liberating to be so unmoored in reality that you can pretend that you're doing something positive to fix a problem that you created.

We've had dishonest Presidents before, but nothing like this.

DACA means deferred action and a permanent solution needs to be passed.

I was just aggravated by the fact that the current crisis, whereby people are about to lose their deferred status, is entirely a crisis of Trump's making. And he can pretend all he wants that he made the decision because he wanted to up the pressure on Congress to come up with a permanent policy, but that's just garbage. He made the decision to appeal to his racist base. But yes, you're 100% right that the ultimate solicition needs to be permanent.
