Congress needs to call his bluff but we all know that they won’t do that
Democrats really need to play hardball and insist on seeing both Melania’s immigration papers as well as those of her live-in parents who have no doubt extended their “chain migration” status. What kind of visitor’s visas did they come here on I wonder. This my-way-or-the-highway shit has got to stop and Republicans need to quit enabling it. Get all these GOPers family immigrant backgrounds and publish them all. The hypocrisy is off the charts.
I hate these people. I hate these people. I hate these people.
Welcome to the new fascist dictatorship. Hard to believe we once called this the greatest democracy on earth.
“Proposals that leave chain migration in place would just produce catastrophic surges of illegal immigration,” a senior administration official claimed.
Viktor and Amalija Knavs did not return calls for comment.
Trump is giving this congress cover.
This just shows you how much he must really hate his in-laws. The lengths he’ll go to getting rid of them using the full force of the federal gov’t is simply astonishing.
No what he is doing is playing “It’s My Way or No Way.” I thought we had 3 equal branches of government? Are the Republicans in Congress going cede their authority to Trump?
It more like the other way around. Republicans in Congress have been giving trump cover since day one. They’re a spineless bunch…but you already knew that.
The Republicans do not want to pass an immigration bill, they won’t now because they can tell their voters that Trump would not approve the bill.
Call his bluff!
I don’t believe for a moment he will veto anything. He doesn’t want to own the veto.
But GOP congressional leadership is almost as cowardly as Democratic leadership so I suspect they will not call his bluff.
Trump once beat Donald Jr. at his dorm in front of other surprised students. Trump himself had a tough father, Fred, and was sent to military school. In his early business life he learned it was dog-eat-dog, alpha baboon and all that. Kill or be killed. Which is why Trump has surrounded himself with killers. Some generals, some vulture capitalists, some zealots like Miller. And he’s taught his sons to kill animals for fun. The DACA debate, which really is only an administrative change to permanent residence permits for just over a million persons, never needed to get tied into any other issues.
“Other proposals that leave chain migration in place would just produce catastrophic surges of illegal immigration,” a senior administration official claimed.
This makes zero sense on its face. By definition, what they call “chain migration” is when legal immigrants (who become citizens) sponsor family members to become legal immigrants.
How would a program for legal immigrant citizens cause a rise in illegal immigration?
I can’t even with these people.
Oh for Christ’s sake. This is just a punk holding a bunch of kids hostage, trying to drive home the idea, cherished by Teabaggers, that the Democrats are nothing but cowards. If you hold firm and DON’T DEAL with him, yeah, the Dreamers might suffer but if you DO deal with him, it will drive home the point that the Democrats are gutless. He has boasted about taking this tack for months and it’s all because of his Wall.
Well, if you are, then pay for your Wall yourself and stop trying to dun us for it. Which reminds me, I thought Mexico was paying for this thing.
The cover that he’s giving is approximately six feet of freshly turned soil. On the GOP majority. For a generation.
Guess Trump doesn’t like his in-laws.
One can hope
Especially not right before the primaries…
100% true. Watch.
Schumer needs to grow a pair and gum up the Senate until they pass a clean DACA bill.
Because, when those immigrants become legal citizens, the law mandates that a teleporter be built in their basement so they can bring in the entire village. Broken. So broken. Sad.
