One year ago, 63 million Americans elected Donald Trump to the office of President of the United States. Energized by candidate Trump’s pledge to enforce America’s immigration laws and restore an immigration system that works for citizens, voters pulled off a historic defeat of mainstream candidate Hillary Clinton, an avowed open borders advocate., Had the 63 million been asked 12 months ago where they would set the odds of a congressional illegal immigrant amnesty being the Trump White House’s first major bill to pass the House and Senate, the consensus would have been around 5-1 against. But the long odds would have maximized election night’s euphoria, minimized Congress’ amnesty obsession, misjudged the swamp’s depth, and miscalculated Capitol Hill’s indifference to the people’s will., The mere hint that the Republican majority might cooperate with a Democratic-led charge for amnesty is a brazen insult to the electoral mandate, and shows contemptuous disregard for President Trump., Yet, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a 99-pound weakling on immigration, admitted in an MSNBC interview that he and Republican leadership “are not necessarily opposed to” a deferred action for childhood arrivals, the 700,000 DACAs to whom in 2012 President Obama unilaterally granted work authorization, Social Security numbers and other affirmative benefits., To measure how unpopular DACA/DREAM Act amnesties are, consider that since 2001 when retiring Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) first introduced the original legislation, Congress has defeated 24 various versions.
