I agree. There is nothing to be conflicted about. President Trump made a promise, and if he breaks this one, he will lose his base and I won’t be able to trust him.

If they came here illegally,
Throw their asses out.
Get in line.
Come here legally or get out.

Mr. Trump, during your rally in WPB, you said they need to go.
Now is NOT the time to wussie out.
Stand up for America. Make America great again.
We are NOT the world, we are America,

"It is reprehensible to treat children as bargaining chips. America's DREAMers are not negotiable. "

See you can't reason or compromise with the Left folks. The minute Trump caves on DACA, suits will be filed to allow the stupid Dreamers citizenship and bring in their relatives.

END DACA. Ryan had 3 years to pass something legislatively if he wanted it. Let Congress deal with it.

Invite them into your home then. I want all illegals out of the country. I don’t give a damn how nice they are or if they’re cute little babies.

Trump needs to play real hardball on this. 700,000 dreamers for the border wall funds.

Trump promised to "deal with DACA with heart."

How do you deport someone "with heart"?

Sorry, Mr. President, but the law is clear. They have to go and go as soon as possible. And if that means you have to harden your heart then unfortunately that comes with your job.

He is not “conflicted.” he is still negotiating.

Negotiating what?

Nancy Pelosi talks about bargaining chips when it was Obama who, for democrat political purposes, used DACA to bypass US legal immigration. President Trump is cleaning up yet another time bomb left by Obama. I support however he resolves this. I do not know all that is involved in making a decision but Pres Trump should know that appeasement of the opposition at the expense of what is good for the American public will not buy him anything at all from them. It will then be, it’s about time or some other snark.

Their parents are at fault, we have to stop making this an incentive or the rest of the world be expect it as well.
Also this person has benefitted from 18 years of public services. They should be glad we’re not handing them a bill for that when they leave.

“temporary legal status”?? It looks like they’re dug in like ticks, if the president doesn’t enforce the law.

Candidate Trump, 2016:
“The election, and the Supreme Court appointments that come with it will decide whether or not we have a border and, hence, a country. Clinton has pledged to expand Obama’s executive amnesty, hurting poor African-American and Hispanic workers by giving away their jobs and federal resources to illegal immigrant labor – while making us all less safe. It is time to protect our country and Make America Safe Again and Great Again for everyone.”[17]

“In August 2015, Trump said that he would rescind President Obama’s Immigration Accountability Executive Actions, which proposed extending DACA and creating DAPA. During an interview with Chuck Todd, host of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Trump said, “We have to make a whole new set of standards. And when people come in, they have to come in...” Todd then interrupted Trump, asking, “You’re going to split up families. You’re going to deport children.” Trump replied, “Chuck — no, no. No, we’re going to keep the families together. We have to keep the families together.” Todd then asked, “But you’re going to kick them out?” Trump replied, “They have to go.” Todd then asked, “What if they have no place to go?” Trump said, “We will work with them. They have to go. Chuck, we either have a country or we don’t have a country. Either we have a country or not.”[18]

President Trump, 2017
“And I find it very, very hard doing what the law says exactly to do.”

Why?

The DACA will fade away...Trump's best option is to do nothing

From the CATO report and other thread : http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3579684/post

Trump is a business man....and a "no decision" is always an option.

Part of the distinction with this group is that the “dreamers” didn’t come here. They were brought here by their parent(s). It’s wasn’t their decision to violate our law. It wasn’t their volition that made it happen.

But it really doesn’t matter. They are here illegally and the law makes no provision for them to be here. So they have to go back.

President Trump may be personally conflicted on this issue but I would hope he possesses sufficient duty, honor and courage to keep his promise and enforce the law.

It’s the federal government that is at fault actually for not keeping the illegal family out in the first place. Reagan started the mess with amnesty and now trump has to somehow fix 40 years of a mess.

Interesting but liberals never say this to blacks...We are not responsible for what whites did to blacks 150 years ago..We had no say in those decisions..We aren’t whipping you and you aren’t picking cotton...Liberals always use the “ they had no say in the decision” only when it helps their narrative..

The President is in a good position here: 1. Rescind it. This kicks the ball over to Congress. 2. If the RINOs and Dems then want legislation on this issue (as they do and will) veto it unless it is not only very strict on the “Dreamer” issue but also includes full funding for The Wall.

Yes, wall funding PLUS the Raise Act.

“Immigrants” How many times here over the last decade have we seen the MSM lie with this word?
To hear the gnashing of teeth from the left, you might think having to return to Mexico is a prison sentence.
And all the freepers saying, “Let’s negotiate! We give you this, say DACA, you give us the wall ... “
There’s nothing to negotiate. No more illegals squatting. Build the wall. Mexico gets the bill. We hashed all of this out November 8th.

If the Beast had won, the Hillary artillery would be going off every day. Before too long the country would be lost, overrun by `legals’ and lying `refugees’ all yearning to live free.

So now, if we start with the: “Well, little Juan (43 years old) has fibromyalgia and can’t get treatment (or SSI) in Juarez ... “ that would be chumming the water for the lawyers: the exceptions would eat the rule. Then every illegal in Pocatello is an exception.

Juan has “anchor children”? Too bad. It’s tough on bank robbers’ kids when they get canned. They came here and broke our laws. They take our jobs but don’t pay payroll taxes, they avail themselves of welfare benefits, kill us on the roads, and on-and-on, but unless they are felons they aren’t going to prison.
Suck it up buttercups—aliens and resident wheeler-dealers. You knew this was coming for 9 months.
If they deport themselves maybe they can come back. But they will get in line this time, like real immigrants.
