Trump's overly generous offer to Democrats on immigration likely to be rejected

NY Times:

Trump Immigration Offer: Citizenship and Stern Tactics


If Democrats want relief for young unauthorized immigrants, they would have to accept a border wall and restrictions on low-skilled immigrants joining their families in America.
Many of Trump's supporters oppose the offer as too generous.  The deal would end chain migration and the immigration lottery which has brought in millions including some who have engaged in terrorist attacks in teh US.  Some reports have indicated that as many as 75 percent of terrorist attacks were by people who entered the country by these routes.

If Democrats do not take this deal it will show how they are just using DACA participants for political purposes and they are not really serious about their position.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
