except that many items on Trump's supposed agenda can be shoehorned in via budget reconciliation with 50 votes and Pence being tie-breaker. However, Cheeto Jesus lacks any ability or desire to actually do the hard work of governing and wrangle the legislature alongside party leadership; thus the giant nothing-burger of a legislative legacy he enjoys presently.
If you think that "Cheeto Jesus" can remove the Filibuster .... I'm almost ready for that.
Your choice, is that what you really want???? Better think about it.
I'm in favor (at this point) because the Left has gone Totally BatGuano Nutter & I see no other option.
I'm not a fan of "Reconciliation Bills" .... I tend to remember the good old days (over 10 years ago) when the US Congress ACTUALLY passed a REAL Budget Bill. I should go on record now that I've never been a fan of "Comprehensive AnyThing" ...... only the UNIPARTY comes up with this garbage in back room discussions.
How about a Totally Novel Approach - Bills no longer that 3 pages that address a single issue at a time.
Some the Folks that actually pay these BOZO's salary can easily understand without all the Special Interests gimme-gimmies that are Poison pills inside the Legislation.
All of that is a bit Off Topic ....... because we ALL know by now that DACA/DAPA was NEVER "Law" and NEVER Constitutional and ALWAYS on the back of a President that didn't even believe in the US Constitution and separation of Powers.
I would bet every single thing I own (and it is substantial) the the Great Obama would NOT agree that today's current President of the United States has the Power to Nullify Law and create the "law/rules/policy" that Mr Trump wants to be the new "Law of the Land" without a single world about it from the US Congress.
Good grief. Trump just told Congress not to worry if they don't pass a bill. He let them off the hook before they even start negotiations. He'll revisit DACA if they can't pass a law.
Does Trump even know what he wants on DACA?? He said one thing to his voters and is doing another. I'm exasperated with this guy.
Well heck..what's the fuss..Trump as much as said that DACA is not going away...he'll 'revisit' it?
Congress will just kick the can back..and Trump will cave. Oh, and the Alt/right gets screwed again.
"While new applications for work permits will not be accepted, all existing work permits will be honored until their date of expiration up to two full years from today. Furthermore, applications already in the pipeline will be processed, as will renewal applications for those facing near-term expiration. This is a gradual process, not a sudden phase out. Permits will not begin to expire for another six months, and will remain active for up to 24 months. Thus, in effect, I am not going to just cut DACA off, but rather provide a window of opportunity for Congress to finally act."
Is it just me or do we only have one POTUS at a time? I really can't get past the arrogance of his weighing in after he spent so much time praising Bush for not weighing in and after admonishing (rightfully so) Trump for weighing in before he was inaugurated. I personally don't like Trump, but Obama needs to respect the same courtesy he was given by the former POTUS when he was ushered into office.
It was Obama's illegal E.O. that created this situation. DACA was illegal. Let Obama take care of these people. Let him explain to them why they cannot stay here. They are illegal aliens. Period.
Obama damn near destroyed America. Trump is restoring it. Fools love dictators. That's why they like Obama. They don't like Liberty. They want to be subjects of a King.
I was watching the news both on the English stations and on the Spanish Station. With the amount of children that are here illegally and are benefiting from DACA I have not seen any of them offer a solution. I don't see any solutions from Congress or Trump. I understand that they are here illegally. I am a big rule of law kind of guy. Many of these kids had no idea that they were born outside pf the United States.
What I have seen and find it interesting is the number of Mexican Flags being flown. I have also seen people holding United States flags. I saw someone holding a sign that said "People are not illegal". The act of coming here with or without your knowledge does not change the fact that something illegal has happened.
We could argue all the points on DACA all we want but still I don't see a solution.
Something that I thought of is allowing these kids to serve the Nation that they say they want to stay in. Could we offer up a two year to five year service solution for these kids? Options could be to join the military,
volunteer time for a period of years or hours of service. 40 hour work week for 50 weeks is 2,000 hours of service a year. Have these kids work two years of service, or more. Possibly a variation of the above.
These are people that are marching to stay in the United States. Offer a service solution and see how many are willing to do what it takes to become legal Citizens.
Let me know what you think. With my limited way of thinking I have no knowledge of what I am offering as a solution would work, or if it has been discussed before. What do you think?
73 percent of DACA recipients he surveyed live in a low-income household (defined as qualifying for free lunch in high school);
22 percent have earned a degree from a four-year college or university;
21 percent have dropped out of high school;
20 percent have no education beyond high school and no plans to attend college;
59 percent obtained a new job with a DACA work permit, but only 45 percent increased their overall earnings;
36 percent have a parent who holds a bachelor's degree; and
51 percent were already employed before DACA.
Why didn't Obama and the fully democrat controlled house and senate solve this problem when they had the chance six years ago?
I can tell you why. Democrats planned for this fiasco because their motto is "never let a crisis go to waste".
They were too obsessed in starting Obamacare. The illegals were a lower priority.
