Trump suggests 2-phase immigration deal for ‘Dreamers’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Searching for a bipartisan deal to avoid a government shutdown, President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that an immigration agreement could be reached in two phases — first by addressing young immigrants and border security with what he called a “bill of love,” then by making comprehensive changes that have long eluded Congress.

Trump presided over a lengthy meeting with Republican and Democratic lawmakers seeking a solution for hundreds of thousands of young people who were brought to the U.S. as children and living here illegally. Trump last year ended the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which shielded more than 700,000 people from deportation and gave them the right to work legally. He gave Congress until March to find a fix.

The president, congressional Republicans and Democrats expressed optimism for a deal just 10 days before a government shutdown deadline. Trump said he was willing to be flexible in finding an agreement as Democrats warned that the lives of hundreds of thousands of immigrants hung in the balance.

Be very very careful what you agree to here Mr. President.

LOL! A "bill of love"?  Looks like some Trump supporters may have to take one for the team. With that and his suggestion to bring back earmarks to further bipartisanship I sense another big win coming. Except it will be for the dems.

Phase 1: Round them up.

Phase 2: Send them all the Cali or NYC.

Problem solved.

Phase 3:  Build a wall around both states.

If any get to stay, then open up Ellis Island II. They still need to earn their way in. NO carte Blanche amnesty.

Actually, after watching the short video (below), the President's two steps are:  1:  DACA with increased border security (includes the wall) and end of chain migration.  2:  Comprehensive immigration reform. 

The President also makes the point repeatedly that if they do step 1 they're halfway through step 2.  Oh, and I'm quite glad McCarthy interrupted Feinstein.   ^-^
