On Thursday’s Mark Levin show, The White House has done something extremely disappointing; they have taken DACA and expanded it to include Dreamers which brings the number to 1.8 million and offered them citizenship. This is a bigger number than even Barack Obama contemplated. Those outside of the 800,000 are those who did not come forward. Some are crooks and criminals and others didn’t have evidence that they came here as children. But we are told not to worry because of concessions the White House got. After this, Daniel Horowitz of Conservative Review calls in to talk about DACA. The main problem is that the DACA compromise President Trump and the Republicans are engaging in is the wrong mix of ideas and politics. They have lost their leverage and Democrats don’t have any incentive to agree with them. They will just pocket the 1.8 million and not build the wall like Trump had campaigned on. Democrats are just doing to Trump what they did to Ronald Reagan, promise border security while not appropriating the funds when they reclaim power. In addition, you will see the pretend conservatives come out and say: “What do you want perfection”? There is no perfection, that is just a diversion and Republicans are giving Democrats numbers they didn’t even dream of. This is why we need serious people of substance talking about this.
CR: On Thursday, the White House told reporters that the Trump administration will propose an immigration deal that will grant amnesty with a path to citizenship to 1.8 million so-called “Dreamers” in exchange for funding for a border wall and reforms to chain migration and the diversity visa lottery.Don't be fooled, Mr. President. They'll do to you what they did to Reagan. Different times, same outcome. No solution.
On his radio program, CRTV host Mark Levin interviewed CR Senior Editor Daniel Horowitz on the content of the deal and the political ramifications of supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants. Horowitz told Levin that the main problem with the Trump immigration plan is that Republicans have said up front they “badly want DACA” and have lost their leverage with the Democrats.
“Democrats have no incentive to ever agree” to the reforms in the deal, Horowitz said.
The Democrats “do not operate in good faith,” Levin said, questioning why Trump would offer amnesty with citizenship for more illegal immigrants than the total number of DACA recipients. “It’s a huge error. Huge.”
Towards the end of the interview, Levin said this was not the immigration deal conservatives expected from President Trump and urged congressional Republicans to fight against amnesty.
“We expect conservatives in Congress to hold the line,” Levin said.
