The beautiful thing is that Trump knows this. He's alluded to it before. Ironically that defiant judge in San Francisco who forced the administration to continue renewing applications has ensured it's demise. The case is being expedited to the SCOTUS right now where it will surely be deemed an unconstitutionally created law.

Opinion:The democrats at this point have no leverage. Zero. They will beg for Trump to allow the illegals to stay and offer more than what he originally asked for. IMO, Trump drums up a super dramatic hype about their fate and finally ends up granting those without criminal backgrounds a permanent legal status. They will not be given a pathway to citizenship but they will continue to receive gibs. They won't be able to vote. They will be immediately deported for major crimes and any immigration infractions. They will be glorified permanent visitors. Meanwhile Trump comes out smelling like a rose and his mercy and benevolence shifts the narrative in favor of compassionate conservatives. The democrats DID almost get them ALL deported after all...
