Trump’s Immigration Proposal

RUSH: The bombshell news of the day is Trump’s immigration proposal: 1.8 million DREAMer/DACA kids getting amnesty in exchange for building a wall or making a move on building a wall. That’s the bombshell news today. Ted Cruz has come out. He’s having a cow over this. I can imagine some of the early Trump supporters who were all-in on this, you know, are calling TV networks begging to come on and appear. (interruption) What? What are you frowning about? (interruption)

Well, because! This is exactly opposite what Trump said he was gonna do.

You know, let the 800,000 (None of this 1.8 million — and it’s not even 1.8 million. It’s 3.6 million.) DREAMers have their citizenship, goes and amnetize ’em and get the wall. I thought that would be a reasonable compromise. I said that.

— and then when you start adding the chain? Now, supposedly a part of this is that there is no chain. So whatever the number agreed to is gonna be the final number. But there are people who think, “This is not what Trump promised. This is… No, no, no. Trump was not gonna do this. It’s specifically why Trump was elected.” So we will have to see.

PELOSI: The plan is a campaign to make America white again. It’s a plan that says over 50% of the current legal education will be cut back, that many people will be sent out of the country. If you read through it, you’re thinking, “Do they not understand that immigration has been the constant reinvigoration of America?”

RUSH: Donald Trump, or somebody in there, knew that this deal would be rejected. I believe it is possible that this whole deal… You might call it a trick. You might call it a grand strategy. But I think it was offered knowing that the Democrats would reject this — after which, what happens? Trump can say, “Hey, I offered it. I’m trying to meet ’em halfway. We’re trying to do something for the kids, and once again it’s the Democrats who say they’re not interested! It’s the Democrats who are walking away.

The Democrats have already started smearing Trump’s proposal as white supremacist policy?

They want their permanent underclass. They want the current illegal crop to be granted amnesty. They want nothing more than a never-ending group of people in total dependency, and they are rejecting this. They’ve just been offered a deal that grants amnesty to the children — that’s their number one constituency group, 1.6 or 1.8 million of ’em — and they’re turning it down.

The Democrats are rejecting this, and I think it was easy to predict that they would.
