Within a week Trump supporters will be justifying amnesty
I'm not sure. For many, this is a deal breaker. I voted for the economy and immigration.

Everybody here illegally is a "dreamer" for these purposes. They just use the poster boys/girls to sell the thing.
Reminder - since the last amnesty, 1/3 of Mexico has moved from there to here.

Technically the Dems lose badly if they support this plan. Trump would get the credit for those 1.8 million future voters and the lions share would end up voting Republican
This deal would be acceptable;e yo me as long as the wall gets built and visa lottery is stopped

If 1.8 million is the opening offer for negotiations, even Democrats couldn’t screw that up.
Someone must have convinced Trump that they will see Trump as a hero and vote for him. Also, you know Trump gives zero fricks for the Republican Party once he is out of office.

No the wall is necessary. It will decrease illegal crossing by 50%+ all on its own for the next 30 years.

Dick Durbin: Trump holding Dreamers 'hostage' with immigration plan (Offer Rejected)
Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., a key senator in the talks to find an immigration deal, came out against President Trump's proposal for a grand bargain, in large part because it would curb legal immigration.
"Dreamers should not be held hostage to President Trump's crusade to tear families apart and waste billions of American tax dollars on an ineffective wall," Durbin said in a statement.
Trump's plan would put 1.8 million immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children on a decade-long path to citizenship. But that comes at a high price for Democrats, as he also wants $25 billion for a border wall and other security measures.
Trump also wants to end chain migration, the process by which immigrants can get their extended family members to America, and also wants to end the diversity visa lottery.
Durbin said that's all too much to ask.
"The White House claims to be compromising because the President now agrees with the overwhelming majority of Americans that Dreamers should have a pathway to citizenship," he said. "But his plan would put the administration's entire hardline immigration agenda — including massive cuts to legal immigration — on the backs of these young people."
Durbin also seemed to dismiss Trump's plan by saying senators from both parties are still working on their own proposal. Many progressive groups also came out against Trump's plan Thursday night.
However, Republicans have stressed that Congress needs to find a solution that Trump can also support, not just one that can survive a close Senate vote.

I think it's a fair deal and that the country is better for it passing. Trump will be a fricking hero and 2018 will look pretty good for the RED.

hahahahahaha! oh my god. all you dipshits were screaming about the left caving just three days ago, in thread after thread after thread, and now you have to pretend as if you support this.
whats it like to have zero personal integrity, to instantly fold on everything you believe in just because trump tells you too. your god is betraying you, and you just bend over and take it.
