Trump delays operation to deport migrant families
By Tal Axelrod - 06/22/19 03:08 PM EDT



President Trump announced he would delay for two weeks an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation that would have deported as many as 2,000 migrant families.

Trump said the delay would allow for negotiations on Capitol Hill regarding immigration reform.

“At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border. If not, Deportations start!” Trump tweeted.

Here we go again!!   9999hair out0000  Who does he think he's kidding???  Work out a solution with Congress???  Every darn time that I think Trump just may be making some progress he walks it back ...time and time again.   It's getting old and it's getting to the point that EVERY thing he says lately you can almost bet, he's not going to follow through; the wall, deportations, Mexico tariffs, Iran, etc.

Is he becoming a very, very ineffective hollow drum?

Trump delays ICE raids two weeks to see if Congress can 'work out a solution'

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he's delaying for two weeks US Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids that were planned to take place Sunday in 10 major US cities, saying deportations will proceed unless Congress finds a solution on the US-Mexico border.
The President's move follows criticism from the cities' mayors and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi among others.
"At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border,'" Trump said on Twitter Saturday. "If not, Deportations start!"........

Whether they come up with a solution isn’t relevant. There are illegals that still need to be deported. Almost sounds like he’s open to amnesty.

Exactly right.  This isn't supposed to be some kind of bargaining chip, it should be done because it needs to be done.

What an effing shitshow this is turning out to be....

An argument can be made for the Iran decision being disproportionate (I disagree), but this doesn’t make a lot of sense. All I can figure is that somehow, they’ll try to spin this as similar to the tariff threat against Mexico, bringing Congress to negotiations. Nevertheless, there are still a number of people that require deportation, as I stated before.

   Just in the last few months we've seen a backtrack on closing the border by announcing they got a year reprieve to fix it, 5 weeks later the 5% tariff threat, precluding with a nothing of substance treaty of some sort.  He then signs the Border Money Bill congress hands him which does nothing to fix the problem.  Now the backtrack on Deportations. 
   This is the Chamber and his Liberal advisors (family) influence on him.

I don't have a problem with playing negotiating games. They often work. I didn't have a problem with his refusing to bomb Iran because they destroyed some of our hardware.

But I DO have a BIG problem with him using a no-brainer like deporting people who have disregarded a judges order to leave as a bargaining chip. They, at the very least, need to GO no if ands or buts.

What would be an "art of the deal" negotiation would be to simply start the deportations and have Nancy get in touch after "millions" are being deported.  Then maybe she will be ready to secure the border.

Exactly correct.

Back in the 80's we had the military capability to literally drop a missile right down a chimney stack.

Today, we can obliterate from orbit.

There's nothing wrong with using this tactic...in fact, it's kind of magnanimous.  LOL! 

You don't want people judged already for deportation?   Fine...sit at the GD table and iron it out.

The DEMS will never realize they're subjects in some 2020 campaign video spot.

He's counting on being able to keep his base because the DEMS are worse (?).  Well, I think he's miscalculated his voting base - OR - as I've said before, this may have been his plan all along. It could be that he had not intention of closing the border or building a wall; he was inserted into the '16 election for one reason and that was to take out Ted Cruz.

He's great at speaking at his rallies and telling the crowd what they want to hear.  I admit his last rally was great ... and I had climbed aboard the Trump Reality Railroad.  That may be very short lived, because what he says and what he does keeps turning out to be two different things and that doesn't appear to be on just the border but everything that he's been saying lately.

His tactics are getting predictable.   

So far, he's batting 1.000, but IMO, tariffs and judicial mandates regarding deportation of certain illegal aren't the same.

Yes he does look weak and indecisive.  He continues to backpedal on just about everything.  He's backed down on Iran; I can't help but wander what Russia and N. Korea and China are now thinking ... "this guys is full of b.s.".  How can they take him seriously now?

Certainly his flip-flopping is making news around the globe.  If people in his own country can't count on him to say what he does, how can any country put any stock in what he says?

In effect, he was a Viet-nam draft dodger whose landlord old man Fred, got a tenant Podiatrist
to diagnose Donald w/bone spurs which got him re-classified into the absolutely lowest risk category for being drafted. This was confirmed in writing by the daughter of the Doctor, now deceased, who was her father's Office Secretary/PA. So much for Trump's character.
Prediction: By convention time, if Trump is still in office, delegates will be screaming for his replacement.

That's just it.  The RNC and 'powers that be' quickly got Trump's nomination through without the final votes from the delegates. 
Secondly, who is going to replace him?  No one is challenging him. 

At this point Trump is hoping for impeachment because he feels it would guarantee is victory.  Even if he was impeached, that leaves Pence who has done a marvelous job at praising his boss.  I don't trust Pence, and never have.

Asked if there would be a strike on Iran, he said something like "wait and see".  Unbelievable that some people would be so critical, they sound like they'd want a bloody and quite possibly, irresponsible war that would kill many including Americans.

Oh good grief!  No on wants blood on their hands and certainly none of us want a President that opens his mouth and threatens without following through.  He approved the strike(s) so, it was more than a wait and see!!  If he thought that there would be any hesitation on his part he shouldn't have opened his mouth period.

Nobody said anything about not meaning anything.

Sometimes you have to use threatening language to get things done like a parent telling a child "If you don't clean your room, I will".

It's just a 2 week extension.

I guess TBR is the anti-Trump home page. It seems like he can't do anything right.

I'm looking at his record and it's pretty good, especially when you look at how few allies he's really had.

I love this move on the deportations. If the Rats don't step up an negotiate people get tossed out. If the Rats do negotiate more people are not allowed in. Either way Trump and the Pubs win. Also, it doesn't hurt Trump with Hispanic Americans or African Americans.

This statement deserves this. Waffle, backpedal? Worked with Mexico,

Bluffed with Iran? We do not seem to be at heightened tensions right now.

This is the only "waffling" I've seen recently and it has worked.

BTW, war with Iran, the loss of human life is bad enough but I was listening to some show, talk about money spent, we've had Iraq and Afghanistan, Iran would really be costly, most of the population probably has some sympathies with the West as well.

What would be an "art of the deal" negotiation would be to simply start the deportations and have Nancy get in touch after "millions" are being deported.  Then maybe she will be ready to secure the border.

Yep... negotiate from power.. not the other way around.  When no teeth marks are left to show you have bit, nobody listens... It is all talk and no action.... a dog and pony show for the weak minded voting public.

@TomSea

The topic is the deportation of the millions of illegals that the courts have ordered, nothing to do with Iran.

Look below at his Tweets, you can't see the back peddling?

The topic though was on 'waffling' and 'backpedaling' which the Prez was accused of doing and Iran was mentioned in one of these two threads by someone else first.. but I was saying how that was not backpedaling.

As for the statements he was ordering ICE to pick up millions, yes, that seems to be problematic to say the least.

2 weeks isn't much time, as commented elsewhere, our government is more efficient in red tape.

Maybe this is saying, "if you don't fix it, then, here goes".

I'm with you!

Trump has a lot of moving parts at play and it looks like a lot of them will work out. The wall is getting built, slower than we would like but it is getting built. Mexico is starting to come around since they don't want tariffs, or to be declared a "safe country". Now the Rats are under pressure to negotiate and if not lawful deportations will be increased. In the last case the Rats lose. The Pubs are already the party that wants our sovereignty protected and the Rats supposedly care about the illegals.

Really?

The wall is being built.

Mexico is trying to hold off tariffs and being forced to be a "safe country".

Now the Rats are being told negotiate, or deportations increase. BTW, who do you think sympathetic liberal Hispanic Americans will blame if the Rats don't negotiate. They may never vote for Pubs, but a lot won't vote for the Rats.

This just strengthens the Dems resolve to resist any kind of immigration reform...much less money for a wall.

AOC is all over Twitter today telling people how to help illegals avoid detention and what the illegals should do if ICE comes to deport them.

And how exactly does this hurt Pubs?

I guess TBR is the anti-Trump home page. It seems like he can't do anything right.

I'm looking at his record and it's pretty good, especially when you look at how few allies he's really had.

I love this move on the deportations. If the Rats don't step up an negotiate people get tossed out. If the Rats do negotiate more people are not allowed in. Either way Trump and the Pubs win. Also, it doesn't hurt Trump with Hispanic Americans or African Americans.


What is there to negotiate?  These are ordered deportations.  Negotiations are give and takes on both sides.  Amnesty can be the only playing piece.  I won't deport if...…………  As far as I am concerned this should be a move he takes regardless of what Democrats think.  There is absolutely nothing to negotiate.  OUT!!  GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And Trump has been trying to negotiate for his entire presidency.  Only resulting in the Chuck and Nancy media show that has let everyone know Trump is unable.

Are you familiar with the term "puffing". Realtors and developers do it as a matter of course. Trump is not a career politician. He was a developer. If you understand the culture you will understand his language. He may not be perfect, but give him some credit. He's done more to straighten out trade than any POTUS I can think of. On immigration he has raised the issue to a fever pitch and is pushing for real long term solutions. He hasn't backed off. He's fighting on multiple fronts with very little real support.

I'll vote for this guy next time around and I will contribute to his campaign.

Trump is using every tool he can to not just get some illegals out, but to fix the problems that let them in. It's not just getting a wall built.

Whether they come up with a solution isn’t relevant. There are illegals that still need to be deported. Almost sounds like he’s open to amnesty.

I don't believe it is because he is stupid, but rather because he still fancies himself as some kind of master deal maker.

I can kind of understand this in his first year. But after all that he has been through at the hands of the Dems, you would think that he would finally get the message at this point.

Maybe he is doing it because he believes that he can 'make a deal'.
Maybe he is doing it to make the deportations the Dems fault, because they refuse to make a deal.
Maybe he himself is really not serious about deporting anybody.

We just don't know. All we can do is to wait and see how it all turns out. I have very low expectations that anything significant will change.

Trump just gave the Democrats two weeks to obfuscate, delay, and otherwise throw more sand into the gearbox. It’s obvious that Trump doesn’t want to “fix” border security,  but keep it as a rallying cry for you and the rest of Trump apologists.

There are over 2000 judicial orders to deport these lawbreakers, and Trump just gave them two weeks to find a new hiding place.

One thing is sure: there is nothing that Trump can do that the Trump Brigadiers will not disagree with. In fact, they spin every action in his favor, as if he makes Sun Tzu look like a rank amateur.

Being the grand narcissist that he is, I don't think that he thinks that he'll be defeated; after all he proclaims he is one of the greatest presidents ever and no one has been able to accomplish what he has done. If he is defeated, he has plenty of blame to go around.  Guarantee it.

He is excellent at selling himself, drawing a crowd and telling people what they want to here.  He has done some good for this country, that is without question.  Border security isn't one of his accomplishments; nor do I think border security and a wall was ever his agenda.  That issue only served a purpose in getting him elected.

It's good to see someone is thinking beyond the immediate "feel good" reaction.

Every step of the way Trump has tried to get a real, permanent, legislative solution. It shows solid in depth thinking. If he does it all on his own it's easy to over turn all the good that gets accomplished by the next radical leftist who gets elected masquerading as a moderate. However, if he is reluctantly forced into taking action on his own after exhausting all efforts to find compromise it's much more difficult to undo the good that gets done and to cast him as the bad guy.

In 2-3 weeks when deportations start cranking up and the media/Rats start claiming the deportees are all victims Trump can easily say, "why wouldn't you try and work it out". He did the same thing with Mexico and the tariffs. They worked it out. I don't think the Rats will because being the "victim" is their #1 play in their playbook.

Well, talk is very cheap and inaction is very costly!!  Playing tiddly winks with our sovereignty doesn't exactly equal border security, in fact it screams incompetency and shows his lack of being able to accomplish the very issue he campaigned on.  Anyone who would risk the sovereignty of this country should be deeply ashamed!!!

How many Pubs did we both support and elect who did that very thing for the sake of cheap labor?

I don't want to win a battle. I want to win the war. At least Trump knows how to fight it. All I see from all the establishment Pubs on TBR is cries for immediate one time action that guarantees a public backlash, instead of incrementally taking action as the other side continues to show they are operating in bad faith.

That's ridiculous.

Nancy, Chuck and FRiends would LOVE to have the media grab heart-breaking human stories for the 2020 campaign.

And their philosophy of the State over the individual lets them sleep like babies while the deportations are in swing.


I had to address this one more time.  I think what you said here tells the trouble with getting anything done.  It says why we are moving away from our Conservative values.  Its fear.  Fear that the Democrats will win.  So we shouldn't do anything.  Fear, so we should move more in their direction.  Fear, so we shouldn't uphold the law.  Fear, so we should sign more spending bills that put this country in debt.  Your afraid of the Chuck and Nancy show.

Deportations are court ordered.  They already have them and its the law.  By postponing them it gives illegal a chance to hide.  It undermines law enforcement from doing their jobs.  What can you negotiate about that?  The deportations need to happen no matter what.  This only plays into the hands of Democrats who call for the end of ICE.  What else is there?  This is their job.  To carry out the court ordered deportations.  There doesn't seem to be anything there to bargain with. 


So tell me what delaying this is going to do?  What can you use about court ordered deportations for negotiations?

Exactly.  Delaying isn't going to do a darn thing.  Nancy supposedly asked for Trump to delay the deportations.  It's the law!  So why didn't he turn to her and say, it's the law and the deportations are happening period. 

You are correct; there is no bargaining chip here and certainly nothing to be gained for the greater good of this country.  Nothing more than a horse and pony show.

Smart move on his part. He is giving the Dims enough rope to hang themselves with. Now when they fail to act and he cracks down,they can't say he did it arbitrarily or without consulting them.

And...,if in the meantime a few deport themselves to keep from having their names on a list in the future,that's good for us,too.

Apparently you're in good company at TBR and with the establishment "genteel" Pubs.

Are you really THAT dense?  @Chosen Daughter

A Deep Stater leaked the planned deportation pick-ups so that they WOULD be able to hide away.

So, President Trump decides to make lemonade out of lemons ....getting it out there that he would use a couple of weeks to get something useful out of the delay, by involving the Democrats to 'work out a solution'.

If the DEMS fail to cooperate...it isn't going to stop these poor bastards from being picked up.

These deportees can't stay off the grid forever...any 'Friend' of theirs will toss their ass out after 14 days.    :laugh:

Look, I have acknowledged the obvious obstruction from the DEMS.  That still doesn't change the fact that Trump backpedals on everything he says on the issue of border security (and other things); by now the DEMS have his number and know that they can manipulate him and get their way. He sent them that message when he shutdown the government and then caved to them; including signing a bill to allow states to opt out of a barrier. He is still the President and he still has executive authority. He is still Commander in  Chief of our military and he has an obligation to protect this country from invasion.  Backing down on deportations, which is the law and well within his scope of authority to enforce is unacceptable.  It shows weakness and incompetency on his part.

Yes, we conservative troopers see right through Trump's b.s.!

Rush essentially said the same thing I did the other day (yesterday)?  that he was going to draw the democrats out on their refusal to work with him on immigration.   Own it was a campaign issue. 

And just like Rush, I too, said I was disappointed that it's getting a bit too predictable for me....backing off on his initial threat.

So, as it often happens, we are left without a clear picture of what is going on....

If we go by Trump's Tweet, he postponed the raids to allow 2 weeks for the Congress to work on fixing the "loopholes" in immigration law...

Then we hear that 5 (un-named) sources all point to McAleenan as a leaker that caused Trump to have to postpone because the leaks compromised the operation...

Then last evening Lou Dobbs starts his show saying that he talked to McAleenan on the phone yesterday and that McAleenan swears up and down that he isn't a leaker...

It sounded like Dobbs was going to have that (recorded) interview later in the show, but it never came....  He never brought it up until he had on Matt Gaetz late in the show, Dobbs mentions to Gaetz that McAleenan denies being a leaker and Gaetz tells Dobbs that he believes him.....


So we don't know why Trump postponed these deportation efforts (that he originally billed as being "millions") for supposedly two weeks....

It certainly can't be because he believes that the Pelosi House is going to pass any legislation fixing the issues.

Also, we need to keep in mind that there are two separate bills being discussed at this point, and we shouldn't confuse the two:
1.  The "humanitarian funding" supplement that is around $5 billion...  Senate has passed a version, House has a version (not yet passed to my knowledge)...
2.  The imaginary "fix the issues" bill that Trump is hoping gets passed in two weeks...  which really isn't two weeks because of the 4th of July recess coming up...

And of course what seems to be lurking in the background (if you listen carefully) is the emergence of a dreaded "comprehensive immigration reform" bill....  could that emerge as some sort of sick combination of the above 2 bills? 

Will it contain an amnesty for "N" millions?

If it does emerge in this murky atmosphere, I suspect that Trump will sign it, unfortunately....

IMHO as I stated before, McAleenan is simply someone convenient for Trump to blame.  Trump is FAILING at the border and he knows it. I just wish his supporters would recognize it's way past time to start holding him accountable and that they need to start making some noise.  Sitting idly by and praising his every backpedal isn't helpful.

I think that many of them do recognize it...  but let's be real, there is no effective way of "holding him accountable..." at this point....  What I suspect we will see, that if he signs an amnesty bill, those vaunted rallies are going to be a lot more sparsely attended....

IF DJT signs an Amensty Bill?  Forget about the rallies.  The 2020 POTUS election will look like McGovern's '72 run.

There's a purpose to the media continually asking President Trump, "If you lose the election, will you leave?"

Truthfully, I'm more than a little concerned with all this State Driver's License automatic voter registration, etc..

Add all this early voting bullshit and absentee ballot nonsense.   I don't like what I see.

The Supreme Court has to rule that early voting in this day and tech age is too fraught with cheating.

Show up with your picture ID and vote.   Stick your thumb in some purple dye, even.      :laugh:

I think the most accurate response to that is "Nobody ever knows for sure what Trump is going to do."

I am going to give him every benefit of every doubt.

What I see so far is the Dems are drawn out ...exposed going into the 2020 campaign on issues Americans most care about.

Sequence of events.  Fake news on Trumps twitter from Trump.  Fake News about Mcaleenan.  Fake News to cover for the fake news coming from Trump.  And if someone leaked and it wasn't him it could have been Trumps liberal family members.
