Clarifying President Donald Trump's deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program via a cash allegory:
1. Trump takes $1,000 from you (DACA) and demands another $1,000 for an unrelated project (the Wall). The total amount taken is $2,000.
2. You refuse the deal and demand your full $2,000 back (DACA minus the Wall).
3. Trump counters: If you give him the $1,000 for the wall, he will give back the $1,000 he has already taken (DACA). But after three years, he will take it back. Total return to Trump: $2,000 and counting.
Conclusions: Trump has the Wall and eliminates DACA.
You have zip.
