WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration released a list of hard-line immigration priorities on Sunday that threaten to derail efforts to protect from deportation hundreds of thousands of young immigrants, many of whom were brought into the U.S. illegally as children.

The demands include overhauling the country’s green-card system, hiring 10,000 more immigration officers and building President Donald Trump’s promised wall along the southern border. Many are policies Democrats have explicitly said are off the table.

But Trump administration officials said the president will insist on their passage in exchange for supporting legislation that would extend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.

“These priorities are essential to mitigate the legal and economic consequences of any grants or status to DACA recipients,” White House legislative affairs director Marc Short told reporters. “We’re asking that these reforms be included in any legislation concerning the status of DACA recipients.”

1. He is so evil.

[Sneederbunk]

2. The wall is off the table unless Mexico pays as you promised.

[procon]

3. Step by step, this Moron is leading us to a police state. nt

[RKP5637]

9. He is, he definitely is. And the "Boiling Frog" and "Stockholm Syndrome" are in full force. n/t

4. Bastard.

6. Rex is so correct, that Republican is a moron. Why don't his fellow experienced Republicans help him

[RKP5637]

10. Perhaps they want him to fail on his own, or are using him as a patsy for what they want, or

they are just like him ... and possibly some just don't give a damn as long as they and their cronies are doing well. Republicans are a very strange bred of people. And republicans today are not even remotely like Eisenhower republicans. I view republicans of today as disruptors and wacky as hell!

7. Trump wants that wall as a monument to himself.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Exactly what my fascist senator, Tom Cotton, said would be

required in his response to my asking his support of the Dream Act of 2017. I think Cotton is pushing the F**king Moron on this.

[sharedvalues]

11. Cotton: Hatemonger and xenophobe. America was founded on the "melting pot".

Real americans welcome immigrants. It takes a really small-minded hate-filled loser to hate the immigrants that have made America what it is.

[CousinIT]

13. Trump Demands U.S. TAXPAYERS PAY FOR BORDER WALL & 10,000 MORE ICE PERSONNEL...

...while he cuts their Medicare, Healthcare, Social Security and other lifesaving services to pay for it.

NICE.

[BigmanPigman]

14. The only way we can get rid of the fucking moron

is if Putin has a sudden change of heart and his bro-mance is over. I hope he breaks up with 45 over a private dinner prepared by his favorite KGB chef who adds a secret, special ingredient that isn't detected by taste testers.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

15. Looks highly Bannonized to me. n/t

[jmowreader]

16. Explain to me something, please

Trump wants to overhaul the green card system (to make it as horrific as possible, naturlich), balloon the Border Patrol, build his fucking wall, AND cut tax revenues in half? Where in fuck did this guy ever get the idea he knows anything about business?

[genxlib]

17. We can stop referring to them as DACA Recipiants

And start referring to them as hostages
