House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats will fill the balcony with so-called Dreamers and other immigrants during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address next week as the party panned a White House attempt on Thursday to reach a deal on immigration reform.
The White House released a one-page framework for legislation that includes a path to citizenship for 1.8 million Dreamers — recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA — and other undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. The proposal, the work of senior White House adviser Stephen Miller, was offered as a bipartisan compromise to give young undocumented immigrants a legal foothold in exchange for more than $25 billion in increased border security and a sharp reduction in future legal immigration.
While Miller described the plan as a dramatic concession for the White House, Democrats aren’t yet buying in and plan to make a statement at the State of the Union on Tuesday.
“While the president is busy mingling with the biggest beneficiaries of the GOP tax scam in Davos, Stephen Miller is once again running loose in the White House with his own hateful anti-immigrant agenda,” Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said, referring to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. “Now, Miller is trying to ransom the lives of innocent Dreamers for a $25 billion anti-immigrant wish list. The White House strategy of moving the goalposts every time the president isn’t paying attention continues to complicate this process.”

Blog Author's Comments: How many of my fellow middle to upper class conservative Americans have ever been invited to attend a SOTUA? Raise your hand - that is what I thought; the Democratic Party's dislike for us is once again on full display. This kind of unintelligent and foolish, in your face provocation, is telling, if the people would simply open their eyes.
The GOP is in the majority so how can the Democrats fill the balcony with 'Dreamers'? If this would actually happen, ICE should be waiting by the door checking their identification and with vans standing by to haul them away. Democrats pick 'Dreamers' over veterans. That should tell you all you need to know about the Democrats of today. The 'dreamers'/illegals, law breakers, are needed by the Democratic Party. They have to continue building their lower class constituents who are happy to be taken care of in payment for their votes. This is how the Democrats remain a somewhat viable, actual political party.
I cannot really believe that Trump is serious about trading a Wall for an agreement to allow some of the 'dreamers' to stay, but who knows, we shall see what transpires? His talk during the campaign concerning illegal immigrants was one of probably three points that won the election for him. And the Republican Party has to hold the House and Senate in 2018, and they will probably not, if they give much at all on the illegal aliens.
If they would lose control of the House, the funds for the wall will never be seen. All that would happen is the Democratic Party would gradually take back power and turn America into a country where many of us would not want to live. Nancy Pelosi, how about standing with Americans, not criminals. She is representing the people in her district in California, that have helped to make her and the family very wealthy.
Quote For The Day: As everyone rushes to treat today's NYT report on Trump wanting to fire Mueller last June based on unnamed sources as fact, note the same reporters @maggieNYT & @nytmike told us Secretary of State Tillerson would be long gone by now. How's that coming along? -- Joe Concha
