Pence rules out any deals that include protecting Dreamers

what a total POS

Also

At the U.S. Border Patrol station where he attended a roundtable on immigration and border security, Trump continued to press the case for his border wall, which he maintained would be paid for by Mexico “many, many times over” through a new trade deal that has yet to be ratified by Congress.

“I didn’t mean, ‘Please write me a check,’ ” Trump said of his oft-made claim that Mexico would pay for the wall.

****

As Trump heads to Texas to continue making his case for a wall along the Mexican border, he is facing mounting skepticism from those who would be affected the most.

Nearly every state and federal official who represents a district along the border is opposed to his plan, The Washington Post’s Matt Viser reports.

Or asking for?

Our M$M really sucks when they print shit like this.

Repubs refuse to accept offer that the Democrats didn't make!

What utter horseshit. Repubs are the only ones I've heard moving in this direction.

There were reports of a group of "moderate" GOP senators .... Murkowski, Collins, Portman, I forget who else .... had met with Lindsay Graham to informally float the idea of offering DACA protections as a compromise for wall money. Pence, the snake, must have got wind of it so of course he had to quash any idea that these senators might have in that direction.

Not that I thought it was a good idea, but gosh the GOP sure hates these Dreamers!

Repubs can't agree amongst themselves, but the media quotes Pence say it's the Dems holding out.
