Pelosi shouted down at DREAMers news conference
He’s also skeptical about Trump, who campaigned on deportation of immigrants.
Buoyed by recent success with Democrats on averting a government shutdown over the debt limit, Trump has turned again to a couple of wily, hardened dealmakers: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of NY and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California. If the deal falls apart and Trump returns to his pattern of insult-hurling and name-calling, the Democratic leaders will be right where they began – no better and no worse.
Moulton also maintained that he has no White House aspirations, despite a heavy travel schedule and an appearance at Tom Harkin’s Iowa Steak Fry – an event commonly seen as a bellwether for presidential candidates.
“They call us Dreamers, but our ability to dream was taken away from us”, Hernandez said. “We can certainly make improvements on what the last administration did, but they did lay some important building blocks”. But the first step, she said, must be the Dreamers, who are newly at risk of deportation after President Trump rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program earlier in the month. The exuberant mood was a far distant from the uncomfortable setting in the Bay Area, where she was called a “liar” by young immigrants who claim she and Democrats were not fighting to end deportation.
For conservatives who fear a new world order in which Trump governs the country like a maverick with Schumer and Pelosi serving as his Iceman and Goose, there’s no need to worry. “I’d just like to see how our representatives and elected officials react to this problem the country is facing”.
“We told him no wall and he said I understand that”, Pelosi said.
Those issues are among the parameters of a potential deal that Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are negotiating with Trump.
It’s unclear how – or if – Republican congressional leaders will act on the president’s guidelines. Barbara Lee and Jared Huffman were giving a speech at College Track, a nonprofit that supports youth from underserved communities to overcome challenges to obtaining a college degree.
He said Democrats, as the minority in the House and Senate, will have to work with Republicans and he believes a compromise can be reached before DACA ends in six months.
“So I was actually. we’re all disrupters ourselves”, she said.
Even the rumor of a deal was enough to put Trump in a corner, forcing him to spend the next couple of days tweeting that there was no deal although there remained the potential of one.
“A lot of that isn’t entirely fair either, the way she’s been painted by the Republicans”. “Washington will never keep pace with Trump speed”, Kellyanne Conway, counselor to Trump, said in an interview.
Even prior to the DACA dealmaking, Trump signaled an independent streak not seen in a USA president in generations.
But Pelosi eventually gave up and left.
“We, the undocumented youth, will not be a marketing chip for Trump”, they chanted.
For now, Schumer and Pelosi have taken a page from Ronald Reagan’s old “trust but verify” adage toward the Soviets.
Gabriel said the impact of Trump’s decision directly weighed on his clients’ personal lives and decisions they made to advance their careers in this U.S.
