He’s being hindered by activist courts from eliminating DACA anyway, so depending on what the terms are, it may be a good exchange.
Via Daily Caller:
Reports leaked ahead of President Donald Trump’s Saturday announcement indicating that he might be planning to offer a DACA fix in exchange for the funds he is requesting for a border wall.
With negotiations stalled four weeks into the longest partial government shutdown ever, Axios reported that Trump was planning to offer DACA in an effort to force House Democrats to come back to the table.
From the report:
The offer is expected to include Trump’s $5.7 billion demand for wall money in exchange for the BRIDGE Act — which would extend protections for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) — and also legislation to extend the legal status of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, according to a source with direct knowledge.
