Trump offers temporary relief for Dreamers in exchange for border wall funding
NY Post, Jan 19, 2019

[...]

But 29 days into the longest government shutdown in history, Dems rejected Trump’s plan before he even uttered it.

During a 15-minute speech from the White House, Trump said he would protect about 700,000 immigrants known as “Dreamers” for another three years. That group came to the US as kids and has proved to be a flashpoint in the debate on immigration.

Trump also offered a three-year extension for another 300,000 immigrants living in the US under Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, which is granted to victims of natural disasters and political turmoil in their home countries.

“I’m here today to break the logjam and provide Congress with a path forward to end the government shutdown and solve the crisis on the southern border,” Trump said.

He repeated his call for $5.7 billion to build the wall, his main point of contention with congressional Dems who have rejected the request to date.

The President offered an extension of current protections for three years, he did not introduce or offer the "protection" of citizenship.

Exactly.  To call this "amnesty" is nothing but hysterical hyperbole that does nothing to advance the ball.

Excited to hear about the President's amnesty plan for illegals who came here in deadly MS-13 caravans.

And still, no one with two active brain cells gives a damn what this hyperbolic drama queen has to say.
