ERICKSON: The Practical Side Of A Reasonable Compromise

Erick Erickson

During President Trump’s State of the Union address, he laid out four pillars he felt were necessary to a compromise on immigration.

“The first pillar of our framework generously offers a path to citizenship for 1.8 million illegal immigrants who were brought here by their parents at a young age. … The second pillar fully secures the border. … The third pillar ends the visa lottery — a program that randomly hands out green cards without any regard for skill, merit, or the safety of our people. … The fourth and final pillar protects the nuclear family by ending chain migration,” said the president in the House of Representatives. The president’s plan for DACA citizenship would be a 12-year plan requiring education, work or military service without conviction of crimes during that time.
