Well LFers, what do you all think ??? Too much winning, STOP! Hillary, Donald, and Jeb! "just want to provide for their family", so whatever they do is OK? It's all "An Act of Love". /s WASHINGTON — President Trump on Tuesday appeared open to negotiating a sweeping immigration deal that would eventually grant millions of undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship, declaring that he was willing to “take the heat” politically for an approach that seemed to flatly contradict the anti-immigration stance that charged his political rise. The president made the remarks during an extended meeting with congressional Republicans and Democrats who are weighing a shorter-term agreement that would extend legal status for undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children. The 90-minute session — more than half of which played out on national television — appeared to produce some progress: Mr. Trump agreed to a framework for a short-term immigration deal to couple protection for young, undocumented immigrants with border security. But in suggesting that a broader immigration measure was possible next, Mr. Trump was giving a rare public glimpse of an impulse he has expressed privately to advisers and lawmakers — the desire to preside over a more far-reaching solution to the status of the 11 million undocumented immigrants already living and working in the United States. Passage of a comprehensive immigration law would give Mr. Trump success where Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush failed. The push for an immigration deal with Democrats has the potential to alienate the hard-line anti-immigration activists who powered his political rise and helped him win the presidency, many of whom have described it as amnesty for lawbreakers. If he succeeds, it could be compared to Richard Nixon’s historic trip to China. Only an anti-Communist hard-liner could have made the opening acceptable to his supporters. If he fails, it would be more like Ronald Reagan in Reykjavik, Iceland, where he suggested eliminating much of the United States and Soviet nuclear arsenal, a momentary glimmer of idealism that was crushed by a backlash from his own party. Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, floated the idea of a broader immigration deal during the meeting in the White House Cabinet Room on Tuesday, making clear that it would have to include a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already in the country. Mr. Trump replied: “If you want to take it that further step, I’ll take the heat. I will take all the heat. You are not that far away from comprehensive immigration reform.” Lawmakers from both parties were taken aback by the president’s words. “My head is spinning with all the things that were said by the president and others in that room in the course of an hour and a half,” said Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, who has been leading the talks. The president has been known to make conflicting or contradictory statements on complex policy issues, only to walk them back or change his mind. White House officials declined to provide specifics about what kind of immigration overhaul the president would favor, saying he was focused on the shorter-term measure that would shield undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children from deportation, in exchange for more border agents and a down payment on a border wall. ........

Love is Hate. Ignorance is Strength. Freedom is Slavery.
That's all fine. As long as the Wall gets built and the Border is enforced, the flow will stop. That's the key: we've got to stop the flow. The Dreamers are already here, already part of the system. It would be immensely cruel to rip them up and deport them. I know that many don't care about that. But more do, which means you can't get a sniff of anything ELSE you want if you insist on their deportation. The political will, and power, does not exist - the numbers do not exist - to force a deportation of the Dreamers and a Wall. Trump knows that, and he doesn't want to deport the Dreamers anyway, never did. He made that obvious during the campaign, and he hasn't changed his mind. At the end of the day, the Dreamers stay. No matter how much the Right, the Far Right, the Nationalists, the Nativists bleed out the eyes, there are not enough of them to be able to break the will of the majority on that matter. The Dreamers stay. The question is simple: Do you want to stop the immigration inflow. THAT can be done, as part of a grand compromise. THAT is what is needed to save the culture, long term. There is room to maneuver there, by playing off the DACA desires against the border security desires, and NOT getting rolled like Reagan. That's doable. Throwing out all of the Dreamers? Never gonna happen. No matter how painful that reality is, it is reality. But the fear of action against the Dreamers is sufficient to drag concessions from the Democrats and the pro- immigration Republicans.
Stick the love up your ass. We can't live in a society rejecting reality while people slobber over each other.
