You say gut immigration because you are too ignorant about the issue to know what was at stake, which makes you a typical Democrat supporter. Personally, it is working out fine for the President, since the longer he holds the line the stronger his support from his base becomes. With the Democrats focusing all their energy on trying to hurt the President, it's not working out so well for America, but it's been a long time since there was any evidence Democrats cared about America or the American people.Liar. They didn’t ask for immigration to be handed over to him. They didn’t want him to gut legal immigration, which was what he wanted.There you go again, the Democrats offered to fund the wall if the President also handed immigration over to them.Nope, it's no lie. Democrats offered Trump $25 billion. He rejected their deal. Then they rejected his counter offer.The President was willing to give the dreamers and another 1,000,000 other illegals with special circumstances paths to citizenship in exchange for funding for the smart fence, but the Democrats said, "To hell with the dreamers, we are demanding control over immigration as well!" So you see, when Schumer claimed he offered the President funding for the smart fence in exchange for DACA, he was lying, and when you claimed he had, you were repeating his lie.”Hardly...”Hardly, what he wants to do was to allow people in to who had skills or talents that the US needed and keep people out who had nothing the American people needed and he wants to limit chain immigration to the immediate families of people who were admitted on their own merits rather than allow one green card holder to sponsor hundreds of people who would not otherwise qualify.
If you believe America is responsible for taking care of all the world's poor, then you support the Democrats' opposition to the President' immigration reforms, but if you believe the responsibility of the US government is to protect the interests of the American people, then you support the President's immigration reforms.
LOL
I posted what he wanted to do, which he and Democrats could not agree on.
Oh well, he could have had his wall and $25 billion. Now he gets nothing. Immigration stays as it was anyway, he gets $0 billions, he gets no wall and now he gets to stew in a government shutdown that he owns.
So no deal.
And now he gets -- nothing.
Now he gets nothing. How’d that work out for him?
