Why Did Trump Work Again With Democrats? ‘He Likes Us,’ Schumer Says
Tags: Current Focus, United States,
Haberman and Thrush of the NYT provide an account of what happened at the White House when U.S. president Trump met privately with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to work out a deal on the Dreamers, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, called DACA, that under president Obama allowed 800,000 young immigrants to stay in the country. President Trump had earlier said he would reverse DACA. DACA was setup under an executive order by president Obama in 2012 to allow immigrant children brought in under the age of 16 to stay in the country, with maximum age 30. In 2014 a second executive order by president Obama expanded this to include children under the age of 18, with no maximum age. Both executive orders were opposed by Republicans.
In the meeting Chuck Schumer answered Trump's question on delaying or changing Trump's mind on DACA, "what's in it for me?" Schumer said Democrats would work with Trump on new legislation on border security, but not on funding for a border wall. Trump agreed to work on a deal, including no deportations for a six month period. After different back and forth in the media, typical of the politics in immigration issues, the president says he is ready to work out a deal on DACA, if the Democrats work with him on toughening border security. Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress now agree that steps have to be taken on border security in stages.
How Democrats plan to sell U.S. president Obama's executive order on immigration
11/19/2014
The Democrats are likely to sell it this way- currently illegal immigrants are not accountable for having violated laws, not paid taxes and not undergone background checks for security. The executive order provides for accountability by having the illegal immigrants subject to background checks, paying back taxes, and not being eligible for subsidies such as Obamacare, food stamps and welfare payments. It is also supported by an NBC poll that show 74% of Americans support a pathway to citizenship if backtaxes are paid and security checks are done. Republicans will turn to the poll that shows only 38% of the public approves this being done by executive order, with Democrats responding that this is not possible with Republicans blocking any action on immigration and not coming up with a plan to tackle the issues.

President Obama's executive order on immigration on Nov. 20, 2014 and the risks for Republicans and Democrats
11/19/2014
Polls show only 38% approve of tackling the whole immigration issue by executive decree. For Republicans the risk is of overreaction- shutting down the government or not supporting some aspects of changes in immigration laws. Senators Portman and Paul Rand, Republican presidential candidates favor a careful response, and Hispanic Republican leaders support such action. President Reagan declared an amnesty for illegal immigrants in 1986, with support in both parties. There are about 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. in 2014.

What polls show on immigration action in Nov. 2014- only 39% approve legal status for illegal immigrants, 60% approve a pathway to citizenship
11/19/2014
As President Obama moves to make an executive order to tackle immigration isues, polls show a conflicted American public. By about a 8-10 percentage margin the public and voters oppose legal status for illegal immigrants. By contrast 60% favor some sort of pathway for illegal immigrants, and 74% favor this if backtaxes are paid. Experts say this may suggest the public sees legal status and especially citizenship citizenship as something that should be earned.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
