The Washington Post’s editorial board is now pushing for Pelosi to take Trump’s deal to trade three year DACA protection for a border wall. The Daily Caller reports:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and congressional Democrats are losing one big voice in their opposition to President Donald Trump’s push for a border wall: The Washington Post’s editorial board.
WaPo noted in a Sunday editorial reasons why Pelosi should rebuke the president’s most recent offer to temporarily extend protections for the so-called Dreamers. But the paper eventually explained that taking the deal would ultimately help those who came here through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
“He should not be rewarded for having taken the government hostage. Any piece of a wall would reinforce his hateful, anti-immigrant rhetoric,” WaPo noted. “He’s unreliable, having made and withdrawn similar offers in the past.”
WaPo’s editorial board has criticized Trump in the past for what its writers call pushing immigration policies that would “cripple the economy.” It’s taking a different approach now. Sunday’s editorial explains why young people who came to the U.S. through the Obama-era program are in peril of being deported.
Pelosi is under increased pressure now that Trump has offered something in return for a wall – will she finally yield?
Soros and his minions the NAZI Commie liberal party are responsible for this treasonous act against the sovereignty of the United States! It’s about time they’re are held accountable! Save the country from turning into another Commie shit hole!N
The Washington Post may want to ask Pelosi a question. She seems to think the wall is too expensive and will not stop illegal immigration. Sine the government has indicated , it cost the American Taxpayer approximately $70,000.00 per illegal, a year, ask Pelosi to use her calculator, if she knows how, and figure the cost she wants Americans to pay yearly to support illegal immigrants. The number is astonishing. The 5.7 Billion President Trump wants for the wall, is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost to American, to support illegal immigrants. We know the only reason Pelosi, Schumer and the democrats do not want a wall is because they want a future voting base, that has to rely on the government and hard working Americans, to support that future voter base. I say build the wall and stop all trade, financial support and visas with Mexico until they stop the illegals from using their country as a roadway for illegals into America. I would rather loose the trade and exchanges with Mexico than loose the Sovereignty of The United States. Also, cut off all aid and assistance to the South American countries sending their unemployables and criminals to this country. If you want to come to America legally, we support you. If you want o come here illegally, I say send them home any way possible. Everyone wants asylum but they want to pick the USA as their country of asylum. It doesn’t work that way. Seek asylum in Mexico, if they don’t want you, get your military age males and go back to your country and fight for it. Securing our border has nothing to do with President Trump or anyone else being a racist. If anyone is being racist, it is the democrats for putting everyone else before American citizens. I believe that is racist toward America. God Bless America.
MR Britt I agree with you completely
Pelosi and Schumer…Build the Wall. Protect our Sovereignty as a Nation and protect the citizens of the United States. You owe us that much.
Since the 2016 election loss, Schumer and Pelosi have done nothing but strut around like big wigs , lie, and cheat against our President When will they learn. Americans want Donald Trump as President because we do not want a Communist-Socialist government. Pelosi vacationed in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and was leaving for Europe when her trip was cancelled, and rightly so…she should have been working in good faith with the Republican leaders to end the Government shutdown. Pelosi and Schumer have done nothing for our Country or the People of the United States. They have let their hatred for our President take priority over leadership. This is inexcusable and they should be removed from office.
Now why not turn the tables and let a Democratic President do the same thing and see how much approval is here, wrong is wrong no matter which side of the isle you set on or support. This is hurting the USA as a whole by demanding a wall which every expert has said will do little or nothing to stop illegals, and with 90% of the drugs coming in through the ports of entry, which will keep on coming the same way as long as there is a demand for the drugs, some seem to forget HISTORY, we had a thing called PROHIBITION for many years and who got rich the crooks even took over the alcohol distilling industry while it was going on and the Prohibition stopped nothing in the way of alcohol coming here or being used here.
The same applies to drugs, if there is a demand then there will be those that supply, any one thinking any thing else is dreaming on a cloud. During prohibition thousands died from bad alcohol same as persons are dying now from tainted drugs. There is no easy or short answer to the problem, what just about every person who deals with addiction will tell you addiction nd the economy are tied together with a tight knot, when the economy goes down addiction goes up and when the economy goes up addiction goes down.
What “experts” are say that a wall won’t work?
Your post made NO sense. How about a prohibition on spewing your left-wing stupidity?
Amen, Jerry. Roberts post made no sense at all, but what do you expect from a left-wing ideologue. The only experts I would listen to are the Border Security Guards at the border who live with this insanity every day. They have all said a wall would be good. But there is no reasoning with liberal retards, that why Pelosi and Shumer won’t negotiate with Trump Trump knows that the only way to get things done is to negotiate–give a little, get a little. The greatest negotiation in our country’s history was done by our Founding Fathers and the result was a document called the Constitution. No one got what they wanted but everyone got something.
Jerry, the experts you are referring to are only experts found in the left wing and in the news media. They are only exprets in lying, and making up things to try to sway the gullible people like you.
You are too kind.
The reason 90% of the drugs come thru points of entry is because of walls. The left also uses the excuse that drugs come thru the air lines, which is true, but that too is ignorant thinking. If you have the front door locked (air line), why leave the back door wide open (southern border)?
the kennads !!! all were involved in running RUM fum the islands ????????? !!!!!
When the very hateful Pelosi stated that the Secret Service wasn’t ready for the SOTU because of the shutdown, the Secret Service claimed they had no problem providing their duties. When confronted with this Nancy said she didn’t care what the Secret Service said. This woman is sick with hate, she needs to be replaced ASAP, I believe the Democrats may be ready to do so, even they can see when someone is insane. We need to call the Democrat Senators and complain.
With every passing day the American people are coming out of there daze, and realizing that it is Nancy & Chucky, that are the real corrupt idiots for the shutdown!!!!
Agree Nanccy need to RETAIRE
I am in total agreement with all that’s said about Pelosi and her total stupidity. California has a penchant for voting stupid half witted women in to office. I live in the state and am appalled at how many idiots there are in the Democratic Party and the ignorance of the women. Start looking into the politics of Kamala Harris who just put her name in to run for President. May God help us if she ever gets elected. She’s every bit as dumb and dangerous as Pelosi.
Pelosi You are the hateful one. You wanted a wall with the foreign exchange student. Now DT wants one and you put the American people in harms way. Shame on you, you wicked shameful low life self seeking arrogant pos.
anything, to deny Trump-right, ‘nan-nan? If, Trump, ‘Could’, create, ‘Manna from Heaven’, or ‘Part the Waters’-YOU, would, somehow, ‘find a way’, to SUBVERT HIM! Nancy-you & your ‘BEST FRIEND’-Chuckie, are doing your Best, to Destroy America! How, in the ‘Hell’, can YOU, ‘Live with yourself’?
THEY MUST DON’T HAVE A HEART OR SOLE.
Pelosi & Schumer, had ‘announced’, their TOTAL, ‘Opposition’, to EVERYTHING, the President, had stated that he wanted to do, BEFORE, he was Elected! Those ‘people’, at that time, ‘Mocked him’, for believing, that, ‘he’, had ‘ANY CHANCE’, of ‘winning’! When, ‘they’, were, FORCED to face the fact, that AMERICANS WANTED HIM-they went into ‘desperation Mode’, and are still there, today!It does not matter to them, WHAT, is needed, if it is Trump’s idea, it is a ‘NO’, to the Dem. ‘party’! So, if the USA, is turned into Venezuala-Nancy, Chuckie, & the ‘other’, Comrades, not only will accept, that, but will, actually ‘Promote’ it-just to foil Trump! And, all this is occurring, coz, ‘their girl’, did not actually receive the Promised Gift, they ‘PROMISED HER! Well, ‘they’, actually, did not promise her-the DNC & Bamy did-BUT…,Thank the Good Lord, America, ‘Came Thru’!
When Obama shut down the government, they blamed Republicans. When Trump does the same thing, they blame him. It doesn’t work that way – this is the fault of the Democrats and no one else. They don’t care if Americans lose their jobs, their homes or anything else, or they wouldn’t be going off to other places instead of staying in DC. This is a scam by the Dems, make no bones about it – to get new voters. They’re hoping people turn against Trump and vote for them. They’ve done NOTHING for the past two years except try and destroy Trump and his family; harass, stalk and threaten conservatives. Even the incoming Dems are pledging impeachment for Trump and Kavanaugh – instead of working for the people who elected them. Their mission is to destroy America to save their own butts. DO NOT fall for their con.
I agree! From another joanne in San Antonio texas
I’m shocked that people can blame Trump for the shutdown when the democrats are clearly not taking negotiations seriously. Pelosi needs to focus on negotiations rather than overseas travel until this crisis is going over.
Not “going” just “over”…..sorry
Like I have said time and time again, Nancy Pelosi belongs in a Nursing Home. She is Mentally Sick and she has dementia.
I also think she has dementia, and I say that not as a joke, but because it’s true.
YES!
Actually she needs to be in a federal penitentary for embezzlemaemn of public funds diverted for all the freebies givee out to ‘boat people’, illegals, bums,deadbeats and freeloaders in california, obstruction of justice, insider trading and a whole bunch of other things.
Daniel………her big problem is that all the Botox from her face moved to her
head and now works as her brain, because she never has a brain……and that
is the reason of her dementia.
Notice the leftist media always say something about Trump’s “hateful immigrant rhetoric,” but they never say what that rhetoric is. Probably because there was never any hateful immigration rhetoric that came from Trump. He said and has always said he is pro LEGAL immigration and wants to stop the flow of illegal drugs, human trafficing and repeat offender criminals and violent gang members into this country. He wants to protect the citizens of the US, including legal immigrants. I want someone from the left to explain to me how that is hateful.
The late Sen. Joe McCarthy used to cal WaPo the ” Washington Daily Worker;” it’s easy to see why.
OH yeah, they are a communist front.
Exactly, they conflate illegal aliens with legal immigrants…that is for the useful idiots who read their communist rag.
Pelosi will not take the Presidents offer, They would let DACA fold rather then take his offer, there pride is in the way. They are stubborn. The only thing that will be crippled is not the economy, but the liberal voting practices. If the wall is put in place the liberals will not be able to have there open borders, and there global plans for America. They are not working for the people, they are working for Soros..
It’s not their pride. It’s their hate that is stopping them from working with Trump. He could offer them everything they’ve ever wanted and they would still say no.
I agree with you 100%.
This, they have no pride, communism has been shown to be a total failure the world over for a century.
Trump DID offer the commies everything, including opening the government if Pelosi and Schumer would negotiate a deal. Even with their condition – that the government be opened before I need to go she Asian’s begin – they still refused!
If that doesn’t tell you everything you need about the charade going on now on the left’s position, nothing will!
Sorry…voice recognition screwed up. Should read “…that the government be reopened before negotiations begin…”

Trump should ask Pelosi & Schumer if they want ” border security ” on TV so that the public could see their answer. Then ask them for 5.7 billion or whatever the amount is, which he will use 2 to 2-1/2 billion to hire more border patrol agents. 1/2 a billion in razor or barbered wire, & the rest to purchase additional helicopters & fast moving vehicles, drones & cameras, so when a breach in the border is detected, agents will be able to react immediately & round up the ILLEGAL intruders.
With the additional agents, ( ave, salaries about $90,000 per) the Dept.of Homeland Security should be able to hire between 22,000 to 27,000 more border agents with a 2 to 2-1/2 billion dollar budget. With 3 billion dollars spent for more agents, they could hire about 33,000 agents. That figure then could be budgeted each year into the Homeland Dept. budget. With these additional agents they could patrol the border 24/7 in large numbers.
Lets then see with no wall but these ” border protection items implemented ” how the Democrats would react & vote.
The problem with hiring agents adding drones and copters cameras ect is it all subject to bugetary spending..Trump could easily add thousands of agents and the next pres could cut them all….as equip gets old will they get replaced??
A wall is permanant, wont get old and wont be added and removed at each pres whim.
Yo witch? If walls don’t work, what difference does it make? Build the wall NOW.
If Pelosi and Schumer did to each other what they done to this country, they would really be worn out.
Stock up on your Ammo.
The Democrat leaders should get their butts to the table right now and do their job for the people. Nancy is showing definite signs that the stress is getting to her and she can no longer handle the job. NOTICE: These problems were recorded and appeared on cable– slurred speech, repeated speech, mispronounced words. These are signs of approaching dementia. Whatever time she has left should be used to end this mess.
And guns…enough to arm a squad.
Nancy is a horrible person. It is Her and Chuckie boy who are not working at all with the shutdown. They said no before it hit them to read. Theirs is for their own personal hate for the president. So they refuse Him anything. Folks we must start fighting the dems.. They do not care about anyone but themselves and power. They cannot handle the fact that Trump won. I say the Warlock and witch must be brought down from their broomsticks. They are nasty. Dems. you need to really look at what your party is doing. They want socialism like Europe and Venezuela. If you watched what going on over there that is our future with the dems. Do you really want that for your children? Do you want no freedom like you had? Better start fighting the ems.
Amen!!
What burns me is when Trump was just a billionaire citizen Schumer was kissing all over him wanting his money, now he’s president he hates him so much. If I had Trumps money I’d get chunkie I’d hire the best PI’s to dig into his private life and I’d fix chuckie for good.
I also say AMEN, well said
IT’S time to lock & load and show them something they don’t think we got the balls to do!!!
As much as they care about the illegal immigrate kids they so want to protect, what about the thousands of kids in this country living in poverty in the inner cities & in the backward communities like in the Ozarks & other poor (like the coal areas that Obama & Hillary wanted to shut down) communities. They couldn’t give a rats ass about them.
They are moving us into a 3rd world country.
That’s exactly what they want, their overall agenda, their utopia, is World Socialist, no-borders, Government. Re: Cloward and Piven Manifesto. Saul Alinsky.
I certainly DON’T want to live OUT on the STREETS someday……when I look to California with ALL of the HOMELESSNESS there, even people who do have JOBS are living among the HOMELESS because they are NOT making enough money to pay RENT anywhere, I say “NO thank you” to THAT, while the ones who CREATED this MISERY are living in MANSIONS with high FENCES and WALLS all around their PROPERTIES, I say “FIRE THEM”, time to get RID of SCOUNDRELS who are having FUN, apparently, and/or are LAUGHING at these HOMELESS people instead of to HELP them to get OFF the STREETS then they are USELESS and should even go to PRISON for CAUSING such IN-humane “way of LIFE” for what THEY call “THEIR CONSTITUENTS”…..!!! THIS is DISGUSTING…Hold them ALL ACCOUNTABLE because they are NOT working FOR the PEOPLE, only FOR THEMSELVES and THAT needs to END NOW…..!!!!!
Would someone please send Nancy some Polydent so we won’t have to keep watching her suck her dentures into place?
John, I am in stitches reading your Polydent remark. You nailed it.
the LEFT never turns against ITSELF-that is why the WIN!
Pelosi knows she only has 2 yrs and she hates Trump so much she don’t care about the American people or DACA.
She will hurt to country till she’s gone.
She is Evil and hateful, they had their chance to get rid of her and they screwed up
‘nasty” nancy ‘pigliosi’ doesn give a rats ass about anybody other than ‘nasty’ nancy. .this no good anti American POS is all about herself, her money and power. how she got another term to screw us into the ground is still beyond me and a lot of other Americans sick and tired of this dog and pony show going on in Washington. FYI: the liberals own the government shutdown, period. Hopefully the American voters tremember that in 2020.
Interesting — do they REALLY believe we have such short memories?? I wish WaPo would re-read the ORIGINAL President Trump offer (which to my knowledge was NOT taken off the table — just refused) to wit: the ‘wall’ for 1.8 million DACA recipients — roughly TWICE the number the democrat’s were asking for at the time. I would think, that after signing a couple ‘whopping’ budgets presented in the past, the ‘loyal’ (?) opposition would grant the Present at least one minor ‘win’. In the scheme of things, 6 billion is chicken feed (or is that ‘crumbs’ Nancy?). You’ve already poured 25 million down the ‘special prosecutor’ hole — that’s a pretty good start toward the ‘wall’!!
I think you are talking about the DemocRAT media and yes they have turned on her because she is not left fare enough. The DemocRAT media hates Americans but loves illegals especially the criminals, murderers, rapists, drug cartel and terrorists.
You are so right
I WISH I COULD HIRE SOMEONE TO TAKE SCHUMER AND PELOSI TO A DESERTED ISLAND SO THEY COULD PLAY WITH EACH OTHERS WRINKLED PERSONAL ORGANS. AND LET THE GOVERNMENT ALONE . OLD DROOPY FUNBAG PELOSI AND HER BOYFRIEND “SLEEPY DONG “SCHUMER COULD JUST WEAR THE SKIN RIGHT OFF – AND NO HARM TO THE COUNTRY COULD COME OF IT. ITS TIME FOR CHUCKY TO SELL SOME OF HIS SHARES IN VIAGRA TO PAY FOR HIS NEEDED DAILY SUPPLEMENTATION .
IF YOU GET SOMEONE TO TAKE THEM TO THAT DESERTED ISLAND, I WILL ACTUALLY WILL DONATE BECAUSE THESE TWO IDIOTS ARE PASSED THEIR TIME.
I AGREE ABOUT PUTTING THEM ON AN ISLAND. I, HOWEVER DO NOT AGREE WITH THE REST. WHY? BECAUSE IF THEY WERE TIED SO THAT THEY COULD JUST BEARLY TOUCH IT WOULD BE FAR MORE ENTERTAINING! AND DRIVE THEM TOTALLY TO A PLACE THEY DESERVE TO BE.
A couple of old communists on their last legs.
Nothing more unreliable that the hateful lying WaPO. They are nothing more than a part of the so called Deep State. I would love to see them go toes up. They are a worthless rag, and that is being very nice to them.
I believe she will die before she gives in NOT STRONG just stupid
