FOOL'S GOLD

I have spent my entire professional life fighting to legalize undocumented immigrants in America, so today’s speech by President Donald Trump should have been a big day.  

An unpopular president who has used an unpopular tactic in pursuit of an unpopular border wall finds himself in a jam. To get out of it, he promises to put on the table relief for one million undocumented immigrants: Dreamers who grew up in America, and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders who have lived here for nearly two decades.

Breakthrough, right?
