President Trump made it clear he would give DACA another chance but only if he got his wall. One of Trump’s big promises during and after elections was the border wall.
The President was able to keep some of his promises but the wall wasn’t one of them. The wall may be one of the main ones he wanted to keep.
The wall was considered part of his immigration plan for greater security for the Country. DACA was part of the plan for immigration change but that didn’t work.
The main reason for DACA getting another chance was Democrats ability to hinder the spending bill. This gave them leverage to seek a deal regarding DACA.
No Wall No Deal
Trump made it clear no deal was forthcoming without his wall.
“It’s gotta include the wall,” Trump said. “Any solution has to include the wall.”
“We need the wall for security, we need the wall for safety, we need the wall for stopping the drugs from pouring in,” he continued.
“I would imagine that the people in the room, both Democrat and Republican, I really believe they’re going to come up with a solution to the DACA problem, which has been going on for a long time,” Trump said.
Trump hoped that an agreement would be reached between Democrats and Republicans regarding DACA and the border wall.
