DACA Without Conditions Is A Disaster

Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me
Words to live by as a rush to judgment on DACA the Blues are taking budget hostages to get us to agree
No DACA without conditions means for Blues no budget can pass
Not enough money in the coffers for the government to last
A nation for new Blue voters to be crucified on the cross of 800,000 DACAs off to the head of the line
Thinking that with DACA passed the Blues will come to the immigration table is insanity again defined
Agreeing to DACA without a wall, border security, end of immigration lottery and chain
Means total loss of bargaining chips and a chance for reforms in interests of America down the drain
Like a poker player holding a pair of aces and four cards with the beginning of a straight or flush
Discarding his non suited ace for a chance to win means his chances for a win will be crushed
The 800,000 DACAs that have turned on Pelosi are the only bargaining chips Trump has on the immigration reform table
Believing by turning them in, the Blues will negotiate for a wall, chain and lottery immigration end and border security is a total fable
If Trump folds on his DACA winning hand then maybe Wolf was right and he is unfit and unstable
Give up on DACA as leverage is like the farmer after all the horses have fled finally locking the doors to the stable
The Blues’ bargaining chip is their threat to shut the government down
If they do for even a day or for a week of missed Social Security checks the tidal wave of voter wrath will Blue chances in the midterm drown
On the issue of a government  shutdown the Blues will fold and blink
Save the Blue boat in the midterms they will jettison the DACAs so it will not sink
Like William Jennings Bryan orating that we should not crucify this nation on a cross of gold
We must not crucify Trump immigration goals on a DACA cross, now is not the time to fold!
