Trump to Democrats: Compromise on Immigration Now or Get Nothing After Election

 amnesty

President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that the GOP could postpone his immigration-and-amnesty push, and instead pass a no-compromise immigration rewrite in 2019.

“We have to get help from either side [to pass a bill in 2018] — or we have to elect many more Republicans,” Trump told GOP legislators gathered at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia.

Electing more Republicans “is another way of doing it,” he said, prompting cheers. He continued:
Really, that is another way of doing it. And based on the [election related] numbers we just saw, we have a real chance of doing that …  [Immigration] is now an election issue that will go to our benefit, not their benefit.
Trump said his four-part immigration and amnesty plan “includes reforms that are overwhelmingly popular with the voters, including Democrats … Americans want an immigration system that works for everybody.”

Trump’s suggestion is a 2018 threat to Democrats largely because Trump’s immigration priorities are far more popular than the Democrats’ pro-migrant, cheap-labor policies.

  1. This threat is predicated on the odds that the GOP will not lose seats in Congress and perhaps gains some. In order to do this the GOP must be able to beat the DNC 'margin of cheat'. And you can bet the farm Soros et.al will be pumping massive amounts of $$$ into the campaign this fall in the effort to get illegals to the polls, to get the faithful to vote multiple times and to resurrect their dead constituents so THEY can vote. The commie left HATES to lose....especially since they were DEAD CERTAIN they were going to win in 16. So you can bet they will leave no rock unflipped in their quest for votes.
