President Trump Will Veto ‘Moderate’ Immigration Proposal

By 1600 Staff

President Trump told Fox News that as constituted, he would not sign Paul Ryan’s “compromise” bill we reported on yesterday.

According to Politico:

President Donald Trump on Friday said he would not sign a carefully crafted GOP bill addressing the predicament of Dreamers, news that caught House Republicans by surprise and left the legislation on life support. Ironically the proposal — the product of weeks of negotiations between centrist Republicans and conservatives — mirrored Trump’s own framework to increase security, curb legal immigration and shield Dreamers from deportation. Not only that, top White House officials, including immigration hawk Stephen Miller, were working behind the scenes to whip support for the document.

Breitbart reported yesterday that the compromise didn’t address the president’s “four pillars”, and made no mention of the border wall; Politico reports that the bill funds the wall, but with concessions on President Trump’s “four pillars”.  Those pillars are: a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients, an end to the diversity visa lottery program, curbs on family migration and $25 billion for the border wall. The president has indicated a willingness to compromise on DACA, but must have ironclad guarantees on border security that moderate Republicans have not delivered. We warned yesterday that this would be dead on arrival, and the president confirmed that in today’s interview.

I do feel sorry for them. But the parents know exactually what they are doing. Why would you want to teach your kids that breaking the law is to get what they want. They are , in essence telling and showing their kids that breaking the law is what you need to do , to achieve what YOU want.
This will also carry over into how they act in America . No respect for law. So one can see what is down the road if they continue to come, with no restrictions . The kids need to be sent back home with parents.
THAT IS NOT CRUEL, TO TEACH YOUR KIDS TO OBEY THE LAW..

President Trump needs to tell lyin ryan to hit the road. There should be zero compromise. There is no room here for illegals or their kids no matter where they were born. Ryan is a scumbag, backstabbing weasel who thought he would pull a fast one on Pres. Trump — not is this lifetime.

Gerry, I agree, and I so want Trump to stick by his response, NO COMPREHMIZE!!!!! Ryan is as poor a leader as one can get. I feel he sold out to those that will back him in 2020 election for president.
\The conservatives need to purge him as soon as possible. He is setting up the Republican party to loose seats in the Nov. elections.
He was too faced the minute he took house leadership. He said he did not want it, and new if he was drafted , a way was set for him to run in 2020.
A real sleeze ball he has become. Sold his soul for gain, instead of serving the American people .

Good for the President! He stood up to a dictator, he stood up to world leaders when they went against his plan for making America Great Again and he stood up to these RINOs. THAT is the man I voted for. GO for it Mr President. Finally a man of his word and one not apologizing for America or compromising with socialist/communists or Hollywood, which is the same.

When will the RINO’s understand that the “compromise” mentality should be put aside until any “compromise” puts America first ??

Americans also want E-verify(ending the jobs magnet), an end to birth right citizenship (ending their welfare, they are not supposed to get this in the first place) since it was meant for the black population to begin with – this will end Illegals getting welfare through their “legal – Illegal ” children they pop out in our country, No visa lottery, No chain migration (if your going to miss your family then think twice before leaving your country) and only merit based Immigration. why would we want to keep importing poor – uneducated people who are a burden to our country? Merit based means they have skills to do more then flip burgers at McDonald’s, cut your grass or clean your house.

Johns Hopkins and Fairfield Universities
Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Paul Ryan apparently is tone deaf with regard to the justifiable pillars outlined by President Trump/the Administration concerning comprehensive immigration reform….It’s really rather straightforward…No pillars…no deal! N’est-ce pas?

President Trump should not sign immigration bill contrary or partially watered down by democrats, RINOs and moderate republicans. The bill should have all the provisions of your campaign promise to reform badly needed immigration laws. Funding the wall should not be an obstacle to building the wall. Good americans are willing to contribute and fund raise to build the wall. We want safe and secure border wall for all, and for our children’s children.

NO it does NOT mirror what Trump has said. He wants the use of E-verify to be made mandatory, the end to chain and lottery migration AND full funding of the wall. The bill does not have any of that in it and sets us up for the 9th amnesty (if this one goes through) since 1986. WHY does Congress keep doing the same thing and expecting different results? IDIOTS!

You are probably right. He would fit well in their narrative of how things should be done.

If any deep search would be done you would probably find that George Soros is sponsoring these people as he was down in that region earlier before the caravan of illegal immigrants started this way.

The day an article about a bill is clear and absent muddled syntax is not yet at hand. This article does not disappoint my expectation that that day will NEVER come!

First of all, the article mentions two bills. If you mention two bills, damn it, give specifics of both, or at least contrast them against each other. Nope…too difficult. Let’s just give up trying to know what’s in either. It’s the way we peons are regarded as too dumb to be told what’s in what we pay for.

What’s the “compromise bill?” Is it the second of the two…or a a third bill? And what does “mirrored” mean? A mirror reflects EXACTLY what appears before it! But the president won’t sign it, so that implies it’s NOT a mirror…or maybe a carnival mirror that twists what it ‘sees’ into something beyond recognition! Where are the facts? For instance, which illegal is gonna get to stay, which must follow the law and leave? How much are the suddenly budget-conscious legislators gonna cut from the 25 billion needed for the wall?

There’s something afoot here, and it stinks. President Trump, stand your ground! You are being RINO’d here. They are simply telling you to go pound sand! The Dems want your blood; the RINOs just want cheap labor and, hell, they don’t like you very much, either!

Just WALK! You did it to Kim in N. Korea and he came back to do business on your terms. Pull a Kim on Kongress! It deserves NOTHING LESS!

And too bad copy writers can’t learn how to write copy that is clear. If only Impeachment were available for reportorial malfeasance!

Allegedly Ryan is not running in November 2018 but he is such a dishonest liar who really knows. If he is leaving, he should leave now instead of taking a play out of his mentor Boehner’s book and doing as much damage as possible before becoming a lobbyist. RINO Ryan is a disgrace to Wisconsin.

LOL “news that caught House Republicans by surprise” . They are so busy trying to destroy our president they push anything that is against what he and the American people want or voted for. VETO will be a new word they will have to deal with if they proceed with their dem handlers agenda.

Has everyone forgotten the children sent to Iowa during Obama Administration? Governor of Iowa chartered a plane, losded those children, who were well cared for, and sent them back to Middle America where they came from. Governor informed the countries they were coming back.
—— Same day this story was topic on all channels, CNN showed 2 mothers being loaded into a Border Patrol Van with their children, and two others who had joined them who were unaccompanied. Boy 10 years of age was traveling on his own, and mother was in Florida. Border Patrol contacted her, of son. Other was a girl with her own baby. They did not know that crossing border was a Misdemeanor Violation of the law. Understand (and saw on television) report of 1500 (10 to 17 years) boys being held at one Texas facility, in the desert. Well cared for, and shown on TV as playing soccer in yard, outside building . Temp about 98 degrees, but it gets hotter down there. Immigration laws have been on books for many decades, why do the Democrats not seem to know them. AND WHAT OTHER COUNTRY CAN FOLKS CRASH THE BORDER, AND NOT GET SHOT OR IMPRISONED? And for 4 pillars that Donald Trump requires, they were stated many times when he met with Officials of both parties 2-3 months ago. Did they not listen, to what seas stated. Democrats promised in 1986, to secure the border, and initiate the vetting. Got what they wanted from Reagan, then reneged on the border needs and security.

Breitbart showed a report, in Ca. how pretty the Holding Cntr Was.
Oh yes, playing soccer, pretty beds & pretty food. Well, KMA.
> the Dem Senator that went to Texas was ‘stiffly’ Denied Access.
>ANYONE Saying the holding Cntrs are ‘pretty’ (inserting a ‘showcase’ example)
ARE FLAT OUT
LYING. & for USA Policy to Continue Separating Children
from Adults at the Border, IS a COMPLETE HUMAN ATROCITY.
> ANYONE (ahem, cough-cough) who Supports this Separation Policy, Can GO
STRAIGHT to Hell. MR. President, You Better Get ‘a GRIP’

You better get a grip on the fact that these people are illegal and use children of their own and others they pick up on the way as pawns and used in sex trafficking and many would be saved if separated . President Trump has a rock solid grip on the matter. You care more about ilerals than Americans.

Im with President Trump! He simply wants to restore law and order. Other Countries are not protecting or caring for their own Citizens and somehow they all believe in America everything is for free! Nothing is free in life. Proverbs states, if a man does not work, he shall not eat, and there is no indication of free welfare in the Bible unless someone has fallen on hard times through severe illness, death of a provider or accidents. Latin Countries must wake up!
