TRUMP’S GRAND IMMIGRATION BARGAIN, TAKE ONE
​
The Hill reports that the White House will endorse allowing as many as 1.8 million young immigrants to seek U.S. citizenship in an immigration plan that will be released next week. In exchange, for the “Dreamer” protections, President Trump will seek billions of dollars for a border wall and sweeping changes to the immigration system.

The sweeping changes would include limiting chain migration such that U.S. citizens and permanent residents could only sponsor their immediate families, which includes spouses and minor children. Other relatives, like parents and siblings, would be excluded. In addition, the visa lottery system would be scrapped. 

And there’s more, including appropriating additional funds to hire new DHS personnel, ICE attorneys, immigration judges, prosecutors and other law enforcement professionals; ending statutorily-imposed catch-and-release and and closing various legal loopholes; and taking measures to ensure the detention and removal of criminal aliens, gang members, violent offenders, and aggravated felons and the prompt removal of illegal border-crossers regardless of country of origin. 

This deal is similar to the one reader Tom Lopez described in one of my posts. However, I expected Trump to offer a path to citizenship only to the DACA population — around 700,000 — not the Dreamers — another 1.3 million or so. This is a bolder deal. 
Is it a good deal? I’m skeptical.  read more at POWERLINE BLOG
