President Trump Floats A Potential Path For Citizenship

President Trump is standing strong on border wall funding. I feel like Democrats– like Chuck and Nancy– expected him to cave by now. They’re not used to dealing with someone like Trump. For crying out loud, they were basically horrified that Trump stood up and walked out of their meeting after Pelosi continued to shoot down wall funding.

I’ve heard rumblings about making a compromise using amnesty. Ah yes. We’re there again.

I like the way Sen. Rubio put it. That’s a separate conversation. No matter how you feel about amnesty, it shouldn’t have anything to do with this current debate. This current debate is all about FUNDING THE WALL AND WALL ALONE. Amnesty is a different conversation for a different day. It shouldn’t be part of this deal.

However, we have this little tidbit from Trump:

H1-B holders in the United States can rest assured that changes are soon coming which will bring both simplicity and certainty to your stay, including a potential path to citizenship. We want to encourage talented and highly skilled people to pursue career options in the U.S.

I don’t think Trump’s considering lumping that into the deal. I truly believe he’s simply thinking out loud here.

Speaking of, Trump is still making the case that Mexico is paying for the wall through our new trade deal.

I often said during rallies, with little variation, that “Mexico will pay for the Wall.” We have just signed a great new Trade Deal with Mexico. It is Billions of Dollars a year better than the very bad NAFTA deal which it replaces. The difference pays for Wall many times over!

That’s all the Trump tweets we have so far today. I’ll keep you posted on any wall-related developments as I see them!
