A POTEMKIN PACIFIER:
Buy Off Trump With the Wall (Rich Lowry, Jan. 12, 2018, JWR)
There is a very easy way for Democrats to get major concessions from President Donald Trump on immigration: Give him his Wall.This is the key to a deal codifying the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, the Obama-era de facto amnesty for a segment of so-called Dreamers. All it takes is giving Trump a plausible start to the Wall that the president can then, in his inimitable way, promote as the greatest structure built on a border since Hadrian began his famous handiwork at the northern limit of the Roman Empire in 122.
