NO DEAL: Trump Signals an End to DACA Compromise, Pushes GOP to Pass Strict Immigration Restrictions
By The Daily Wire. Sunday morning, President Donald Trump signaled to reporters that Congressional Democrats had wasted their opportunity to come to the bargaining table over comprehensive immigration reform, and that the time for a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Act had passed.
He also encouraged Republicans to pass strict anti-immigration legislation, likely including increased funding for Trump’s planned border wall.
Trump Tweeted early Sunday that he was growing tired of Democratic immigration policies, including the nonsensical border patrol “catch-and-release” program instituted under President Barack Obama. He punctuated his social media missive with the words, “NO DACA DEAL” in all capital letters.
Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous. “Caravans” coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!

According to the Washington Post, whose reporters waited to speak to the President and his wife outside Easter services at an Episcopalian church local to the couple’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, the President was very willing to elaborate on his statement, accusing Congressional Democrats of standing in the way of any potential deal to protect past and future DACA recipients.

President Trump spent his Easter morning here on an anti-immigrant tirade, declaring Sunday that there would be no deal to legalize the status of undocumented immigrants known as “dreamers” and threatening to exit the North American Free Trade Agreement unless Mexico increases border security.
Trump thrust the future of millions of undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children into peril by promising “NO MORE DACA DEAL,” and he directed congressional Republicans to pass tough anti-immigration legislation . . .
It was Trump who last fall canceled the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which was begun in the Obama administration to provide temporary protection to dreamers.
