WHERE was any such thing mentioned other than in your fertile imagination?
Are you really so unaware that you don't understand that when a contentious matter is being debated Congress may choose to present their plan to the POTUS and if he disagrees, not even bring it to a vote?
The answer to that is an obvious "yes." Just like their cultgod, most conservatives have no concept of how our system of government is supposed to operate. That's how he got elected in the first place. If they understood what it is that a president is supposed to do, they would have known not to elect this one.
Donald Trump asked Congress to come up with a bipartisan agreement that both sides would support, and told them if they did so, he would sign it. So the Democrats and the Republicans got together and, in good faith, put together exactly what the president asked for. It was supported by both sides, and it would have easily passed with well in excess of 60 votes.
But when they brought the president exactly what he asked for, he reneged on the deal.
How will the Republicans be able to trust the president going forward, knowing that anything he says today he could change his mind on tomorrow on a whim, after they have done the hard work to try to accommodate him?
The base didn't like the deal, and Trump only governs for 30% of the country.
This is why he has never expanded his supporters. He does not do what is best for the country or for the good of the majority--he does what a small minority want. This is why he will fail. He is an empty suit with a fragile ego. A small minority of Americans like him, and Trump seeks to punish all those that do not support or like him. Good for the small base. Unfortunate for the country.
The Reps are apparently incapable of understanding the difference between coming here illegally and being[ brought here illegally.
Both result in ILLEGAL residencies in the US.
Is there some reason you're confused as to the meaning of ILLEGAL?

Wrong equivalency. The illegally-gotten gains are taken away from the baby/child. The same should happen to DACAs. Deport them, and let them apply to immigrate LEGALLY just like every other LEGAL immigrant, if they wish.

Did you continue to "trust" Obama's word after all his lies?

And yet Trump has offered them a solution for DACA, but the dems refused the deal.
If the dems want DACA, stop playing games, and agree to the deal. No more chain migration, and agree to the funding to secure the border.
The dems are refusing the deal because they want an endless flow of illegals, illegals they want to become democrat voters.
Sorry, but Obama isn't president anymore, this lawlessness ends now.
Yep! I recognize the Reps have the corporations' backs with their permanent tax breaks while average citizens are thrown a meatless bone with breaks having an expiration date.
The corporations' backs? That's the Democrats who want to keep funneling lower-paid illegal alien workers to them.

On DACA, his stance is more out of alignment than the normal 65-35 split.
Why is an issue that is supported by 9 out of 10 Americans being used in this way? Shouldn't this be something that the majority of Republicans AND Democrats want?
This should have been taken care of irrespective of discussions about wall funding. It is not a partisan demand, rather it's actually a bipartisan demand.
