Happy New Year ........................... You're Fired
A little Swamp Draining going on. Trump Just Abruptly Fired All 16 Members, Many Obama Appointees, on HIV/AIDS Council
"I can only speculate,” said Gabriel Maldonado, a remaining member of PACHA. “Like any administration, they want their own people there. Many of us were Obama appointees. I was an Obama appointee and my term was continuing until 2018.”
The Obama administration cleared house of George W. Bush's appointees much like President Trump appears to be doing, Newsweek notes.
Trump to Dems: No ‘dreamer’ deal without border wall
President Trump on Friday demanded that Democrats approve funding for his signature Mexican border wall before he supports a program designed to protect immigrants brought into the US illegally as minors.
“The Democrats have been told, and fully understand, that there can be no DACA without the desperately needed WALL at the Southern Border and an END to the horrible Chain Migration & ridiculous Lottery System of Immigration etc.,” he said in a morning tweet.
“We must protect our Country at all cost!”
DACA refers to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protected almost 800,000 youngsters — known as “Dreamers” — brought into the US illegally by their parents.
In September, the Trump administration announced it would end the Obama-era program after March 1 unless Congress finalizes a deal on the issue and approves new border enforcement measures. . . .

If he gets his wall, he'll give the Dems DACA, he'll settle.
Frankly if he gets an end to chain migration and lottery quotas for DACA amnesty I'm not even sure where I stand on that. That would likely be a good deal.
