Trump's 'Betrayal' Sends Anti-Immigration Hardliner Over The Edge

I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue, one longtime immigration foe said Thursday morning. The tweet came after news of President Donald Trumps tentative deal to work on restoring the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program while delaying funding for his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Mark Krikorian, leader of an anti-immigrant think tank that Trump cited during his 2016 campaign, appeared appalled by Trumps confirmation after a dinner with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that he is working on a plan to restore the program.
Early Thursday morning, Krikorian said a ritual burning of Make America Great Again campaign merchandise would be a brilliant idea if Trump followed through with a deal with Democrats, which Krikorian called a betrayal.
Krikorian doubled down on that idea as Trump appeared to confirm that he had indeed done so.
