TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Last night, at a dinner with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, President Trump apparently hammered out the framework to a deal that would protect 800,000 illegal aliens now covered under DACA from being deported.
They will get to stay, and under current law, so will millions of their relatives. It would be a massive amnesty, maybe the biggest ever granted in American history. This is thrilling news for Democrats and for open borders advocates everywhere.
In return for this concession, the president receives nothing, no reduction in overall immigration totals, no tightened restriction on foreign workers who take jobs from Americans, no E-verify to prevent illegal immigrants from working under the table, no end to chain migration. The president isn't even getting a border wall, though he insisted he will somehow get one later possibly.

The president seems confident it will all work out in the end, but there's no reason to be optimistic. The fate of DACA recipients is, by far, the best piece of leverage he has, or ever will have. If he gives it away for free, none of his other immigration priorities, the priorities he ran on and won the presidency with, will even be considered.

They've done the math. Democrats lost in 2016 because our middle class rejected them. That means they've got two options now. They can embrace the issues the middle class cares about, or they can import an entirely new electorate from the third world and change the demographics of the U.S. so completely they will never lose again. They are going with the latter option.
