Emboldened by the media attention given to their public protests, the illegal immigrant activists known as DREAMers showed up at the 2015 Iowa Freedom Summit demanding to know where the mostly conservative crowd stands on immigration.
They found out when they were getting kicked out.

DREAMers played a large role in Obama’s unilateral executive action on immigration last year. Hillary Clinton gave her support for what is widely known as “Obama’s amnesty” via a Twitter post, though that might not be enough to quell the anxiety growing among the young illegals, buzzfeed.com reported.
“What else will she do?” said activist Cesar Vargas.
Despite Clinton’s apparent support for their vision, DREAMers hounded her on the campaign trail and pressed her repeatedly during her book tour.
“This is not just about political tactics, it’s about real questions, there are real people affected by this, whether they’re parents or workers, Vargas said. “All 2016 hopefuls say, ‘We want to talk to the real Americans.’ Well these are the real people affected by these policies.”
Potential 2016 GOP hopefuls Texas Gov. Rick Perry and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were interrupted by the protesters during the recent summit, according to Buzzfeed.com.
Cheers erupted after activists were escorted out for repeatedly shouting over Perry.
“2016 is around the corner so we want to see where Republicans stand, would they overturn [Obama’s actions]? Vargas asked.
“Would they deport DREAMers?”
Support for in-state tuition and other entitlements is something activists will be looking for in a future potential candidate.
“Ted Cruz is a lost cause,” Vargas said. “He’s a far-right political figure for the tea party. Chris Christie, Scott Walker, on the other hand, they’re trying to stay away from the issue, we want to know where they stand. Jeb Bush, he’s seriously considering not only running but also working with the Latino community.”
Bush’s accommodating stance on illegal aliens has been known going back to his days as Florida governor. In a speech at the National Automobile Dealers Association in San Francisco this weekend, he took a softer line than any prominent Republican presidential hopeful.
“The 40 percent of the people that have come here illegal came with a legal visa and overstayed their bounds,” Bush said. “We ought to able to figure out where they are and politely ask them to leave.”
“Jeb Bush, he’s seriously considering not only running but also working with the Latino community.”
Two words: Terri Schaivo.
I will never vote for Jeb. NEVER!
“Two words: Terri Schaivo.”

One word-—dynasty.
Enough with the Bush family.
.
Same here, he lost me then.
I watched the video, and didn’t see any ushers or guards approaching the protestors, nor anyone kicked out.
Just an undisturbed unruly group of people who were allowed to continue to disrupt.
As always, the illegals proceeded as they wished.
We have spent ten years implementing a virtual prison state worse than the Soviet Union where every phone call, internet activity, financial transaction is tracked, licence plate scanners know where cars are, facial recognition scanners scan crowds, and yet these same people claim helplessness in finding these people. They know where 90% of them are down to a few hundred feet at any time.
There is not enough water in the world for Jeb Bush to wash his hands clean.
Not to mention his love of an elitist NWO that will make Obama’s distaste for the citizens of the USA look merely neutral.
Wow, just wow, what a load of.................manure, but beyond that how is that not illegal? Jeb, ya'll come down to my place and I'll have my boot commit an act of love with you backside!
Men in blue uniforms were approaching. The crowd was cheering when they appeared.
Already they're worried about the undoing of all the Damage Obama has done.
I still predict Obama will have his War at any cost. And I have no idea where that will be.
Thank you for again sharing the truth about the death of Ms. Schiavo(sp?).
Gov. Bush will never escape his culpability.
Now perp walk them back to the damn border and dump them in a deep gorge! OUT OF AMERICA, SLIMEBALLS!

I like the cheers, but I am curious about why the illegals would be hassling Perry since he supports them.
“Ted Cruz is a lost cause,” Vargas said. “He’s a far-right political figure for the tea party.”
EVERYONE is afraid of Ted Cruz!
;^)
Interesting how the activists always seem to choose the Republicans that are weakest on border security to protest against. Last year it was Cantor...and some of us were wondering whether Cantor actually wanted them around - it almost seemed like he did.
You betcha. I’ll never forget. That could’ve been ME in that bed with a murderous husband hanging around like The Grim Reaper. Nice of Jeb to speed things along for him.
*SPIT*
Well, not everyone. I think you meant the America-haters.
Those of us who want our country to return to the Constitution are not afraid of him.
OK, OK, I meant that everyone in the lamestream media & liberals in general (plus not a few RINO’s) now have Ted Cruz living in their heads rent-free. He’s even being denounced by the leftie tabloids in U.K. Waiting for Al Jazeera & Vladimir Putin to weigh in against the “dangerous rightwinger”.
And why do they all call him a “firebrand”? I’ve never even heard Ted Cruz raise his voice, let alone make fiery speeches.
