President Trump on Friday accused Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer
(D-N.Y.) of trying to scuttle a deal to help young immigrants who are
protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
“DACA has been made increasingly difficult by the fact that Cryin’ Chuck Schumer
took such a beating over the shutdown that he is unable to act on
immigration!” Trump tweeted from Air Force One while traveling back to
Washington from Davos, Switzerland.
The comments came in response to Schumer’s criticism of a new White House proposal
on immigration reform, which would offer a pathway to citizenship to as
many as 1.8 million immigrants who are covered by DACA or are eligible.

I suspect Trump is trolling the Democrats again. He know better even better than they do that the Democrats are incapable of taking yes for an answer. They will always pander to their most extreme elements first last and always.
ReplyDeleteTrump will then use this intransigence to implement policy as he sees fit and as a cudgel to beat them severely in the midterm elections.
Hope springs eternal.
