Donald Trump Schumer Battle Over Amnesty on Tuesday
Chuck Schumer
Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer  will meet President Donald Trump this afternoon to talk about a 2018 budget deal  and  he  will have to repeat or revoke the Democrats’ unpopular threats to block the 2018 budget if Republicans reject  his  unpopular amnesty for 3 million ‘dreamers.’
The meeting puts  Schumer  in the awkward position pushing a debate strategy that  he  denounced loudly in 2013. Back then   Schumer  blasted efforts by the GOP to extract Obamacare concessions before accepting the federal budget and insisted that Democrats would not hold up a federal budget to push their immigration priorities.  He  told ABC’s This Week:
In this battle  Trump’s immigration principles are very popular in  a nation that wants pro-American immigration rules .
 Schumer  is in a weak position also because Democrats embrace the industry-funded “nation of immigrants” polls which shame Americans to say they welcome migrants. But the alternative “fairness” polls show that voters put a much higher priority on helping their families  neighbors  and fellow nationals get decent jobs in a high-tech  high-immigration  low-wage economy. That political power of the voters’ fairness priority was made clear during the GOP primaries and again in November 2016.
