Trump ups the ante on immigration deal to avoid shutdown

Donald Trump has drawn a line in the sand on deal to keep the government operating past January 19. Democrats are demanding that Trump address the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program, which would legalize hundreds of thousands of children of illegal aliens. They say they won’t vote to fund the government past the January 19 deadline unless DACA provisions are included.

But Trump has upped the ante by making funding the Wall part of the deal, as well as the elimination of “chain migration” and the visa lottery. Trump is making the Democrats pay a heavy price for DACA by tying his approval to the continuing resolution to fund the government.

Bloomberg:

“The Democrats have been told, and fully understand, that there can be no DACA without the desperately needed WALL at the Southern Border and an END to the horrible Chain Migration & ridiculous Lottery System of Immigration etc,” the president wrote on Friday. “We must protect our Country at all cost!” On Tuesday he added, “Democrats are doing nothing for DACA – just interested in politics.”
