<p>President Trump on Sunday urged Republican lawmakers to use the &ldquo;nuclear option&rdquo; to pass tough immigration laws and ;suggested the DACA debate is over. ;</p>
<p> ;&ldquo;Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws,&rdquo; tweeted Trump. &ldquo;Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!&rdquo;</p>
<p> ;Trump also threatened to stop NAFTA if Mexico doesn&rsquo;t start helping us out on border security. &ldquo;Mexico is doing very little&hellip;at stopping people from flowing into Mexico through their Southern Border, and then into the US,&rdquo; wrote Trump. &ldquo;They laugh at our dumb immigration laws. They must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL!&rdquo;</p>
<p>Minutes before walking into an Easter service in Palm Beach on Sunday, Trump told reporters that people are coming into the US specifically to take advantage of DACA. &ldquo;A lot of people are coming in because they want to take advantage of DACA,&rdquo; said Trump. &ldquo;They had a great chance, the Democrats blew it. They had a great, great chance.&rdquo;</p>
<p>In Trump&rsquo;s opinion, Democrats missed their chance last month when they voted to pass an omnibus spending package ;that did not include protections for Dreamers. Trump had offered to support legislation that would legalize 800,000 illegal immigrants in exchange for $25 billion in border wall funding, but lawmakers on both sides turned him down.</p>
<p>Trump&rsquo;s renewed push for lawmakers to use the &ldquo;nuclear option&rdquo; refers to a parliamentary procedure by which Senate Republicans could pass a bill with a majority vote (instead of 60 votes). GOP lawmakers in the past have resisted Trump&rsquo;s demands to use the nuclear option.</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> This shows the cynicism of the Democratic Party, abandoning a constituency that they have claimed for many years. If the Republicans are smart they will make this a major campaign issue.</p>
