From the NYT:

Mr. Trump’s decision to upend Ms. Pelosi’s travel plans was a remarkable bit of one-upmanship in an increasingly bitter government shutdown drama in which Mr. Trump and Ms. Pelosi, the newly elected Democratic speaker, are the main antagonists.

The day before, Ms. Pelosi had suggested that the president cancel or delay his State of the Union address this month, citing security concerns amid a prolonged partial shutdown that has forced thousands of federal employees to work without pay. Mr. Trump at first said nothing, but 24 hours later, without mentioning her request, the president released a sarcasm-tinged letter in which he told her the trip was off.

“In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate,” Mr. Trump wrote. “I also feel that, during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the strong border security movement to end the shutdown.”

“Obviously,” Mr. Trump added, she still had the option of flying commercial.

"Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed," Trump wrote to Pelosi in a letter tweeted by White House press secretary Sarah Sanders Thursday afternoon. "In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate."

And then, this dagger: "Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative."

Yeah, hes saying border security isn't going to halt the necessitated economic migration of seasonal farm workers that temporarily travel up from mexico so she should stop insisting that border security is going to negatively affect her donors exploitative interests.

It seems to me, behind closed doors, the democrat leaders are attempting to conflate their illegal sub-minimal-wage-driven capitalistic interests with leaving the floodgates open for repeatedly deported criminals (ms13 and the like) to continue just freely walking back to the US after we rightfully deport them.

As its been detailed many times before, democrat establishment is and has always been the exploitatively racist party. This is why racial issues are most acute in areas ran by democrats. All of their label-assigning bluster is merely projection and diversion.

Just like a trifling whore, watch what they DO, not what they SAY, because what they say doesnt mean a goddamn thing.

It is being reported that protection for dreamers is being offered for the term of 2 to 3 years, not automatic amnesty. Democrats are already signaling that they aren't going to go for that.

Trump could offer amnesty for dreamers in exchange for border wall funding and Democrats would still reject it.

you do realize that's not how it works... right? that you literally have it backwards, that congress makes the offers and trumps rejects or accepts, and that it's democrats who keep making offers that mitch mcconnell rejects before it even reaches the president.
