Ed O’Keefe: Trump’s Immigration Plan Shows the Debate on DACA and Border Funding Is Basically Over

‘But with the President going all the way to 1.8 million, that basically settles it’

RUSH EXCERPT:
O’KEEFE: "If the changes in family-based legal migration are part of the final package and if they get the twenty-five to thirty billion in border security, yeah. But, if not, they will stand against it. I think what this plan from the White House, which is formally being released on Monday, shows now is that the debate over whether or not to legalize or provide legal protections to people who are protected by DACA is basically over. It’s just an issue of how many, but with the President going all the way to 1.8 million that basically settles it. The fact that Chuck Schumer went to the White House a little more than a week ago, sat with the President and basically agreed on twenty-five billion dollars in border funding means that’s over. Democrats have now flashed that card and said, if that’s the price to pay, so be it."
