WASHINGTON ― Democrats are pressuring President Barack Obama to do whatever he can before leaving office to protect the more than 740,000 undocumented young people to whom he granted temporary work permits from the threat of deportation under the new administration.

On Thursday, Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) and Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.) asked Obama to issue pardons to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients, many of whom fear they could soon be under threat of deportation from President-elect Donald Trump.

The request is a long shot. Obama created the program for so-called Dreamers using executive authority, and there’s nothing to stop Trump from taking it away using

Those “dreamers” have been a “nightmare” for a lot of citizens.

You and me both.

Really, there's only one question to be asked.... "Are 'DREAMERS' here illegally?".

If no, then there's nothing to worry about.

If yes, then they need to return to their country of origin, and re-enter in a legal method.

Meanwhile, I'll be the first to admit that the immigration process in the US is severely broken, and could use some improvement. Perhaps instead of shouting at the rain, these Reps could do their jobs and work to fix the system, instead of further break it. They're the right people (legislators) in the right place (The Congress) to do the job.

The Orwellian double-speak never ends. First illegal aliens were "undocumented aliens", then they were "undocumented immigrants", then they were just "immigrants" (thereby smearing every legal immigrant), and now they are "dreamers".

Pure nonsense - these are illegal aliens who have violated US immigration laws to illegally enter and stay in the US. All of the fairy-tale words in the world can't change that reality.

“...I dream of the day Illegal Invaders go back to their own country.”

Yeah, and I dream of the day that REAL AMERICAN taxpayers get to save untold BILLIONS paying for these invaders.

They aren’t dreamers. They are invaders.

They better start dreaming of tequila and sunny days south of the border, because Donald Trump is going to make those dreams come true very soon....

Are they using the term “dreamers” to mean “illegal aliens”

Just keep making them say it over and over.

“By ‘undocumented’ do you mean ‘illegal alien’?”

They can’t say no, they will go on the defensive and look defensive. The worst look to have when you are trying to promote a position.

In reality they are Illegal Invaders.

Immigrants are invited, Invaders are repelled.

A President cannot pardon individuals for FUTURE crimes. If the IMBECILE OBAMA pardoned the “dreamers” for the crime of being in the US illegally, the very next day the individuals would be committing the crime (being in the US illegally) yet again. Any past pardon would not apply to these new crimes. And the pardons would certainly NOT apply to crimes committed after the IMBECILE OBAMA left office.

This is IMHO of course but I’m fairly certain of its validity.

The corrupt communist can issue pardons for the offense of entering and remaining in our country illegally during the usurpation. However, he cannot pardon them for the ongoing crime of remaining in our country after the rule of law is restored on January 20, 2017. President Trump can and should deport those “dreamers” as soon as possible - after deporting criminal illegals with a record, repealing Obamacare, and building the wall so they can’t come back, but well before the 2018 election.

"dreamers"

Notice how the left always crafts their terminology so as to make any opposition seem mean-spirited and wrong? We have " . . freedom of choice . . . marriage equality . . . gay . . . love is love . . . dreamers . . . progressive . . . " and so forth.

Ok, I can sympathize with an illegal alien brought to America at 4 years old and is now 16 years old. But, I would make a deal. He can stay but his parents must forfeit all assets and NEVER be allowed back in, legally.

Otherwise, let’s keep families together and send the whole family back as one.
