Dreamers - looks like Pelosi and Schumer "agreement" with Trump in jeopardy...




http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/congress/article175484806.html

WASHINGTON
The White House is expected to ask Congress to approve a Republican wish list of immigration policies as part of a deal to protect hundreds of thousands of young people brought into the country illegally as children, known as Dreamers, according to a preliminary document obtained by McClatchy.

Talking points written by the president’s Domestic Policy Council and given to some members of the conservative Freedom Caucus on Capitol Hill include a dozen proposals grouped into three broad areas — border security, interior enforcement and merit-based immigration.

The proposals run afoul of the tentative agreement Trump discussed with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi at a Sept. 13 dinner at the White House, according to a Democratic staffer on the Hill who asked for anonymity to discuss a preliminary proposal.

The plan was designed by Stephen Miller, Trump’s senior policy adviser who is responsible for some of his most contentious policies, including writing a ban on travel to the United States from some Muslim-majority countries, and does not reflect the views of Trump or many of his other top aides, according to a multiple people familiar with situation.

“The president himself said he doesn't’t want to ‘throw out good, educated and accomplished young people’ and wants a Dream Act paired with increased border security, but Stephen Miller's agenda to try to attach 50 percent cuts to legal immigration and other provisions completely undermines the president's desire and chances for any deal,” said a political operative who works closely with congressional Republicans.

I knew there would be "conditions". Why doesn't Trump draw up his own policy. Why have the idiot Stephen Miller do it. Rhetorical questions.

no way,you could see this coming. The Vindictive wannabe King will do what ever to smash the Democrats and their leadership. Notice the Fake News of the NYT have not went after the Trump Crime Families E-mails yet. And when that happens,all hell will break loose.

He will attack Schumer and Pelosi in the next few days.
