Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., doesn't think President Trump was being sincere when he seemingly killed a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program Sunday.
Cohen said on MSNBC he feels Trump was just doing whatever he needs to do to shock Democrats in the negotiations over DACA, a program that allows illegal immigrants brought to the country as children to stay in the U.S. without being deported.
"He keeps saying things over and over again. There's no truth to what he says. This is a ploy," Cohen said.
"He'll say anything he can say at the moment that he thinks will get him his wall. Last week he said Democrats didn't want to help the kids. He loves the dreamers and want to have DACA, but the Democrats are stopping him. He's doing all he can. It's all about the wall and the wall is all about him. Remember, the Mexicans were going to pay for the wall. It's all just a farce."
Trump tweeted earlier Sunday that he wants Republicans to "Go nuclear" - or end the legislative filibuster - in order to pass tougher immigration laws.
"Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal laws like Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous. 'Caravans' coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!" Trump tweeted.
