chaotic. the president seemingly took every contradictory position he has ever had on immigration and d.r.e.a.m.ers and it did it within an hour today during a bipartisan meeting with senate leaders at the white house. the most remarkable moment came when president trump appeared to give democrats everything they wanted arc clean bill of love for daca recipients with no wall and no strings attached. what about a clean daca bill now. we are going the come out with daca, do daca, and then we can start immediately on the phase two, which would be comprehensive. mr. president. do you i would love that. mr. president, you need to be clear. what senator feinstein is talking about, when we talk about daca, we don t want to be
more in comprehensive reform. i do think we got that. obviously, this is going to be tough just to negotiate the daca portion as well as a few border security elements. but it s completely impossible to do a big comprehensive list bike the white house released to us just a couple of days ago as these must-have items. i m glad they seem to have pulled back from that. that alone was worth night to hear right after, it seals headache there is a he is innage memo that went out. everybody buttoned up. they all said the same thing, we will focus on four things, daca, border security, chain migration and the visa lottery. i didn t hear the word wall. intentional? i think that was a important part of the meeting. the president went further than he has before in explaining what the word wall means. he said it a number of times
that i m not in love with, i m going to do it, because i respect them. there you go. folks, the people in the room are going to spook a lot of conservatives because the party s most prominent immigration hardliners were not in that room. and some conservative commentators are already freaking out. in the enit seems this was a coordinated of the by gop leaders to steer the president back on track after the president left the room. listen. during the closed door session the leadership agreed to negotiate and narrow the focus to four issues, border security, chain migration, visa lottery, and daca. we will continue the meeting but we are only going to focus on four topics. daca, border security, chain migration, and the lottery. the first is daca. the second is border security. the third is chain migration. and the fourth is the visa lottery system. interestingly, no mention of the word wall, for what it s worth. democratic leadership though says they didn t agree to any of
coulter who i think provides a daily reminder of the president and his promise on the wall? is she okay. some of the immigration hawks are unhappy. that was a priceless moment when kevin mccarthy, the house minority leader, been to a million negotiations, when the president seems to be agreeing with senator feinstein, fine, let s have a clean daca bill. by that of course you mean we are going to have security, ie the wall. oh, yeah, the wall, it was my basis for the wauchl it was an astonishing moment. i have been told that the president that is one thing he says in private. when he seemed at one point months ago to back off from the wall as he put it my base went crazy. he need the fig leaf of quote the wall. it seems he keeps trying to see how far can he walk back from it. trying the figure out what s the most i can walk back on it
twitter is the president that we elected to give us a wall and no amnesty is going to give us amnesty and no wall. if you put your faith in demagogues you are going to be disappointed. he didn t believe any of it. trade is the issue, if you think about it, 20, 30 years he has believed on. in his core. immigration, total demagoguery. it will be amusing if the people who put their faith in them get betrayed. meks doe was supposed to pay for the wall. i did not hear that mentioned today. you had to bring that up. another question though is who is going to blink? is there going to be government shutdown over this or not? it is going to be the democrats who ban together or the republicans. listen to jon tester. could you vote for money for the wall if that s what the administration wants? what i ll vote for is the way
