Deals

President Trump has shown more bipartisanship and genuine leadership in his brief time in office tha President Marijuana re Obama. He does say some annoying things but they have a smidgen of truth. If the countries in question were peachy they wouldn't need TPS. It takes zero effort to find Haitian professionals who excel here. They excel here because Haiti is corrupt and not governed well. Haitians themselves would be the first to tell you about messed
Up governance.

Trump is attempting to reign in the excesses in Immigration. TPS is a temporary measure. All politicians before Trump
Share the blame for kicking the can down the road. Obama bears special guilt for making a mockery of the laws of the USA. The situation with El Salvadoran immigrants and the presence of MS13 is a genuine concern. The TPS countries minus Haiti are responsible for the unaccompanied minor problems. Rather than Obama read the TPS holders the riot act he rewarded them with the illegal DACA act.

Trump has offered a deal. The Democrats intransigence has led to a stalemate. Once again in negotiations one has to give something back. The wall is not a big deal.

Here is what the deal should be

TPS should be restricted to three years. In the future people who form qualifying relationships will have their citizenship delayed three years for every one in TPS.

DACA cases should be given green cards that do not permit citizenship unless the person is in the military or a first responder. They do not get to sponsor the architects of this problem. Any felony arrest or three non felonies cause immediate deportation with all appeals filed abroad.

The DV lottery, married children and sibling cases get cut. Family planning and Female genital mutilation are not the basis for asylum.Asylees should be housed in former military bases until their case is heard. No more waiting in a big city for years cases will be heard at the base with a single appeal.

Lastly family based Immigration other than small children and spouses is not the basis for a modern economy. A skill based system regarding vocation, English proficiency and education needs to replace our current mess.
