Trump is not using DACA to get the wall. He is using the wall to get DACA. Has been all along. His tough guy anti-immigrant ruse during the primaries was 100% bullcrap to win the hearts and ever-shrinking minds of his cultists, contradicting everything he had ever said before the primaries about illegal immigrants, amnesty, the heartlessness of Republicans, etc. For all who may have forgotten Trump's "real" (i.e., self-serving) position on all this up to the moment in late 2015 when he realized he could win a weak-minded plurality of Middle Americans by talking tough and masking his "New York Values," I refer you to this RedState article from just before the Iowa caucus, by Streiff. Streiff, amusingly, has since become RedState's leading Trump sycophant, a great example of how the combined attractions of cultish fellow-feeling and career opportunism have killed the so-called "conservative commentariat." (And yes, I've seen it happen to personal acquaintances in the field, to my disgust and dismay.) disq.us Daren_Jonescu I heard him and others say several times that DACA would come first. Excuse me Mr Best Deal Maker In The World, but isn’t that leverage you are giving up? If you give the D-bags exactly what they want right out of the chute, what do you have left to get what you SAID you wanted, and promised to your base? Unless, you don’t really care as long as something, anything gets done. Deal makers don’t immediately give the opposition what they want.
