Immigration See other Immigration Articles Title: Donald Trump Calls for DACA Amnesty ‘Bill of Love’ (Jeb! flashback) This should be a bill of love, truly. It should be a bill of love, and we can do that, Trump said. I really do believe Democrat and Republican, the people sitting in this room, really want to get something done, Trump said, adding that he was looking for a bill of love from Congress. Trump spoke at length to the bipartisan meeting, urging them forward on offering legalization for DACA recipients but also ending chain migration and visa lottery systems, as well as demanding border security. The president spoke to reporters with Sen. Dick Durbin on his right and House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer on his left. Other members of Congress included pro-amnesty leader Sen. Dianne Feinstein and immigration hawk Sen. Tom Cotton. Other Republican amnesty supporters like Lindsey Graham and Jeff Flake joined the meeting. Trump said that if Congress could come together on a DACA deal, he would be happy to sign it even if he had compromises that he didnt like. I am very much reliant on the people in this room, Trump said. I have great confidence
if they come to me with things Im not in love with, Im going to do it, because I respect them. Hoyer said that Republicans were to blame for failing to bring the Senate Gang of Eight immigration reform bill into a vote in the house. Trump said he was eager to pass comprehensive immigration reform, but that it should be done in steps. DACA, he said, was the first step. The group of about two dozen members of Congress met in the Cabinet Room of the White House with Trump and White House chief of staff General John Kelly, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and advisors Stephen Miller and Marc Short. Trump announced that Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary Bob Goodlatte would introduce a bill in the House featuring his border security priorities and that it would make its way to passing into the Senate. This has been going on for years, Trump said, joking that if they could not make progress on the issue he would lock the doors of the White House to end the discussion. He said he personally felt that it should be easy for Republicans and Democrats to come together on the DACA issue and immigration reform. I really think this sells itself, Trump said. At one point, Trump approved of Sen. Lindsey Grahams call for Congress to support comprehensive immigration reform. If you want to take it that further step, Ill take the heat, Trump said. You are not that far away from comprehensive immigration reform. When asked if he would support a DACA deal without wall funding, he replied, You need it.
Id love not to build the wall, but you need the wall. He clarified that he didnt need a wall on the entire border, citing specific advice from border security agents. We dont need a 2,000-mile wall where you have rivers and mountains, and everything else protecting, but we do need a wall for a fairly good portion, Trump said. Poster Comment: A little bit of wall maybe, a whole lot of amnesty for sure. The second GOP amnesty. Death of the Republic if they succeed.

When Tramp, sorry Trump, was running for the job, he told the American people that if elected he would write an EO receding Berry's EO, now he has taken a 180 again
