An expansive amnesty plan that would give a pathway to U.S. citizenship to at least 1.8 million illegal aliens would have a crushing effect on President Trump’s efforts to effectively and quickly deport illegal aliens, populist conservative Daniel Horowitz says.
After White House senior adviser Stephen Miller revealed the details of the administration’s framework for an amnesty plan, Horowitz called out the initiative that attempts to give Democrats the amnesty they have wanted for enrolled and eligible illegal aliens with President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
WH seems to be prepared to agree to full path to citizenship (not just legalization) and for 1.8 million, not just 700k. Which will easily metastasize because they are eating out of the Dem premise on the entire issue.

The Goodlatte bill was a compromise but had a safety rail from a runaway train by limiting it to the premise of those who were given a status. Once Trump agrees to the premise of moving “time frames” there is no limit. What about the 2014 surge people?

The problem isnt so much the actual details of what Stephen Miller laid out on the call. It’s where it’s coming from and where is headed. They made it clear they consider Dem “of no fault” a broader imperative and will move deadline. Thus,Dems have no pressure to concede anything

From Art of the Deal: ” “The worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it. That makes the other guy smell blood, and then you’re dead.”
This is the central issue here more than any specific policy detail. It’s the attitude behind it.— Daniel Horowitz (@RMConservative) January 25, 2018
CBO scored a similar bill to Trump’s…
