Conservative Heavyweights React to President Trump's DACA Offer
Townhall, Jan 19, 2019, Beth Baumann

The government shutdown has lasted just shy of a month and there appears to be no end in sight. President Donald Trump on Saturday made an offer to Democrats: in exchange for the $5.7 billion needed to build his proposed border wall, he would offer temporary protection to DREAMers, those who were brought to America illegally when they were still a child.

For the most part, conservatives are applauding Trump's attempt at negotiating with the Democrats, even though Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made it very clear her party isn't interested in what the president has offered. The majority of conservative heavyweights believe Trump is trying to do the right thing by at least making the Democrats an offer, especially when they refuse to budge.

Trump is receiving praise from conservative commentators, current and former legislators and everyone in between.

Not everyone was happy about the president's decision though. The most outspoken critic of the offer is conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who previously endorsed Trump during the 2016 election. She was especially enthused about his immigration promises, something she feels he's abandoned with this deal.

I strongly support President Trump’s immigration proposal today. Pelosi & Schumer rejected it even before the president spoke to the nation & made his proposal. They’re radical know-nothings. Let’s hope some rank-and-file Democrats break from their open-border leadership and vote for it. You should contact your members of Congress & urge them to do so.

This is a good speech and a reasonable proposal.

If Democrats don’t like all of it, make a counter-offer.
