They couldn\u2019t care less\u00a0about immigration\u2019s effect\u00a0on you or your family\u2013these are the same people\u00a0the president now says he\u00a0trusts to write the\u00a0immigration bill, the one\u00a0he will sign no matter what\u00a0it says. So what was the point of\u00a0running for president?\u201d\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2018\/01\/08\/stephen-miller-and-tucker-sound-off-on-immigration-and-cnns-bias-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(RELATED:\u00a0Stephen Miller And Tucker Sound Off On Immigration And CNN\u2019s Bias [VIDEO])<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"top-id\"><\/div>\n<p>He continued, \u201cYou will remember the\u00a0president also ran on his\u00a0skills as a negotiator, and\u00a0he clearly has skills as a\u00a0negotiator. But where were they today? The president signaled he\u2019d\u00a0be happy to legalize\u00a0hundreds of thousands of\u00a0illegal immigrants now and\u00a0that at some point in the\u00a0future tackle all that other\u00a0stuff like making sure they\u00a0can\u2019t bring millions of\u00a0their relatives from the\u00a0third world along with them. That\u2019s not much of a\u00a0negotiation. Amnesty for DACA recipients\u00a0is the only leverage the White House has. Once the president agrees to\u00a0let them jump to the head of\u00a0the line, ahead of millions\u00a0of other people hoping to\u00a0come here legally, the\u00a0negotiation is over. At that point, why would Democrats agree to anything? Ending chain migration, the\u00a0diversity lottery,\u00a0supporting a merit based\u00a0system that might actually\u00a0help America? No chance.\u201d\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2018\/01\/04\/tucker-slams-keith-ellison-for-his-long-history-of-abhorrent-views-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(RELATED:\u00a0Tucker SLAMS Keith Ellison For His Long History Of Abhorrent Views [VIDEO])<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carlson continued, \u201cThe Democrats\u2019 goal is to\u00a0import more Democratic\u00a0voters, and by any means\u00a0necessary.

Say goodbye to borders, they are done. Keep in mind that the top Democrat in the house\u00a0recently thanked illegal\u00a0aliens for sneaking into\u00a0this country. That\u2019s how Democrats feel\u00a0and they\u2019re not pretending\u00a0anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH MORE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/5107476400001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5706452380001\" width=\"650\" height=\"365.63\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Carlson finished, \u201cBeing a Trump voter isn\u2019t\u00a0always easy, it\u2019s like\u00a0rooting for the underdog in\u00a0baseball, the old Chicago Cubs. On\u00a0one level there is pride,\u00a0the pride that comes from\u00a0doing something that fashionable people consider insane, and\u00a0that\u2019s a good feeling. But there\u2019s also some\u00a0disappointment along the way\u00a0and honestly, there is some\u00a0embarrassment. But you silently bear it\u00a0because you know that when they\u00a0finally win the World Series\u00a0it will be worth everything\u00a0you went through. Every sarcastic dig from\u00a0your brother-in-law at Thanksgiving will seem small\u00a0by comparison. In the Trump presidency, the World Series is this\u00a0immigration bill. It\u2019s the big payoff, the whole point of the\u00a0exercise, and they\u2019re not allowed to\u00a0blow it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2018\/01\/09\/tucker-rips-trump-on-immigration-what-was-the-point-of-running-for-president-video\/\">http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2018\/01\/09\/tucker-rips-trump-on-immigration-what-was-the-point-of-running-for-president-video\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After DACA Comments, Tucker Asks Trump: \u2018What Was The Point Of Running For President?\u2019 [VIDEO]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-92492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=92492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92492\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=92492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=92492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=92492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
