No doubt many people would be angry at President Trump for offering this deal.
But the only reason he offered it is that he knows the Democrats will reject it.
Fox News:
President Trump’s immigration compromise package to end the partial government shutdown drew sharp reactions from Democratic and Republican lawmakers alike.
In a televised White House address on Saturday afternoon, Trump offered Democrats a three-year extension of protections for 700,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, in exchange for the $5.7 billion he has been seeking for a barrier along the nation’s southern border with Mexico.
“Our immigration system should be a source of pride … not a source of shame as it is all over the world,” Trump said in his plea.
The president’s proposal was met with disdain from an array of top Democratic lawmakers. Many used the same language in their critiques, accusing Trump of holding the government and federal workers “hostage.”
I was scared he was going to offer DACA. Offering three years of DACA is not as bad as offering the whole shebang, obviously. But we shouldn’t even be talking about DACA again until SCOTUS rules.
But again.
Zero chance they’re taking this deal.
