Congressional Democrats must hold the line on the DREAM Act
Huffington Post ^ | by Cristobal J. Alex, President of Latino Victory Fund

Posted on 12/21/2017 1:38:19 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Without options and on the verge of losing the protections that allow them to remain in the only country they know, hundreds of undocumented youth have descended on the nation’s capital, putting everything on the line to pass the bipartisan DREAM Act.

These courageous men and women have staged sit-ins and “die-ins” at the offices of members of Congress - Republicans and Democrats alike - to urge them not to vote for a spending bill without this critical piece of legislation.

Some Democrats have demonstrated political courage in their steadfast commitment to voting against any spending bill that does not include the DREAM Act. Unfortunately, other Democrats have been unwilling to make the same pledge. A growing number of DREAMers will pay the price of their lack of resolve.

A vote for the spending bill without the DREAM Act is a moral failure. Democrats can prevent an American tragedy by holding the line on the DREAM Act. Their actions will have consequences beyond the nearly 800,000 DACA recipients. DREAMers are the children, siblings, parents, and friends of U.S. citizens…and voters.

Hey, how come a “Latino Victory Fund” and “Congressional Black Caucus” are o.k. but an Anglo Victory Fund is racist?

This would be a perfect time to round them up and deport them, if we had a governmental agency which still practiced the rule of law.

So do I. They are on crack if they think siding with illegal aliens and against the United States will win them seats.

Let's see. "Cristobal J. Alex, President of Latino Victory Fund". Victory? That implies CONQUEST. Mi amigo, you are baldly giving your true purpose away. You imagine yourself a latter-day conquistador. Your plan for "victory" is to flood the U.S. with your illiterate, uneducated, unskilled, resource-sucking brethren who stupid libtards will spend multi-million taxpayer dollars on--feed 'em and breed 'em, as I call it-- until there are more illiterate, uneducated, unskilled, resource-sucking burdens than there are of us. Then BINGO! Conquest achieved.

I'd much rather shut down the government than cave in to the dummocraps' hysteria on this. They have no real concern for the above-described illegals. The illegals have just enough intelligence to be trained to push the buttons for candidates with a "D" next to their name. That is their only value to dummocraps. Nothing else. So, in order to gain illegal votes, which doesn't bother the dummocraps in the least (they're already breaking so many laws anyway...), they are not only willing, but screaming DEMANDING that we allow ourselves to be overrun with these very low-value illegals so that they can win elections by hook or CROOK. Mostly crook. And the very stoopid young people don't think to look beyond their K-12 + college brainwashing to see if what they have been indoctrinated with is actually true, so they sign up as eager acolytes to these crooked dummocrap politicians and community organizers.

Governments do not have moral obligations. Governments have only legal obligations.

This guy is the perfect example of the “Talented Tenth”, and everything that is corrupt and exploitive in the modern left.
A life’s history of exploitation, set-asides, crony-political patronage, Big Money Left puppet masters and hate.
Instead of building a business, employing folks and building loyal customers, he builds his life on exploiting hate and resentment for personal profit.
Pray that Mr Alex, and the rest of the lost-on-the-left souls find some grace and guidance.

In the mean time, Eff ‘em and the horse he rode in on.

Start by deporting any who are arrested for any crime, including trespass. Then deport the rest. Anyone who is deported should be banned from legal reentry ever again.

We here in Mexico want them to come back to their grand parents, uncles, aunts. We need their skills in English, and as they are dreamers, they can make Mexico Great Again. Come on back, the entire country has their arms open waiting for you...Just like Claudius of Rome ordered all Jews to leave...it all turned out for a blessing, a church was started in Corinth. Law is good, rules are good for every country. Just like Joseph and Mary had to follow the law and go to Bethlehem. Be glad you got to grow up in the USA and bring your gifts back to the Aztec Kingdom.

Maybe we can make a beneficial trade. Let the Dreamers stay and deport all the Democrats.

I hope they’re considering self-immolation of the capital steps - during twilight.

That would be SOOooooooo cool!

Gosh, American citizens are always being told they need to be more cosmopolitan. Maybe it's a good time for the anchors to get to know another country.

In business, we call it "relocating."

Note: Most other countries you go will be very picky about following their immigration laws, so be forewarned.
