re: Trump Signals that Dreamers can stay, will work something out for some illegals

If you were listening he's been saying this all along.

Again for the millionth (okay maybe the 30th) time on this board since Trump announced, Trump will proposes some sort of "touchback immigration" plan for "good" illegals already here.

I was listening. He said, "they all have to go."

Over and over and over again.

Then, he would say something different. He'd say different things to different groups. But, he'd go back to "they all have to go."

I heard him.

But, deporting them all was impossible. I knew that. I said that. I got down voted into oblivion here. So many here believe he would deport them all. I even wrote that he would have them go to their home embassy/consulate, register, and then get in line while staying here. That is the only "touchback" amnesty you're going to get. And, I'm fine with it.

But, there was no way of knowing that during the election. If he had been clear, he would have gotten my vote and the vote of many others. But, he would have lost the vote of the Far Right, which he deemed more important. It was a gamble. He won. I'm willing to play along.
