Good for DACA, but what else are they asking for?

Equal number of deportations proportional to the number of DACA beneficiaries?

If Miller's hand is in this, it'll be so onerous that there will be no way that the Democrats will vote for it!

And the lottery system. Both which represent legal ways to immigrate currently in exchange for DACA

President Kelly and VP Miller run the show so I am not getting too hopeful. Besides, the GOP has to be on board with it too.

Even if we were, I would be quarterback. The greatest quarterback. Not a placeholder. You can be really dumb sometimes, Miller.”

Miller: “Yes, President Trump.”

As in, if you are in DACA going for your Green Card, but need to apply for Medicaid, WIC, SNAP or HUD assistance - or can't get a job within 1 year of graduation from High School or College, you're going back.
One of the trumpflakes at work has already said that is the sort of regulation he wants to see in DACA. Doesn't want any of "those people" taking money from the taxpayers.

I can see the GOP proposing that - they only want "Good People" in this country.

Mid terms are coming.

The republicans are trying to look good and steal this from the Democratic Party.

The deal will appear will appear ok but will be full of traps.

The republicans want to keep control of congress.

No damn wall.

They are great people.

But they are scared.

They need real protection against being deported.

To just take any deal and to trust the republicans is crazy.

This is all about the midterms.

A song and dance on the republican side.

If we do not win the midterms the dreamers will be gone along with a lot of other people.

Even people with greencards.

The money for the wall find its way into trumps pocket.

Maybe some no bid contracts for his special friends.

The dreamers other people will still be deported.

The Dr. that came from Poland as a child has a greencard.

Now for something that happened when he was a kid they will deport him.

That is coming if we do not take over.

That way if it gets shot down by the Democratic party, they can turn around and look like saviors who offered full amnesty, and the Democrats rejected it.

The dreamers will have so rules to follow it will be impossible to get citizenship or a greencard.

We are going down a slippery slope.

To get full amnesty will be impossible.

It is just smoke and mirrors.

That is why the Democratic senators made a big mistake not shutting down the government for a few weeks.

We are seen as weak and will take any deal.

The Democratic party is going to take a hit if they go along with the Republicans.
