Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday pressured President-elect Donald Trump to continue the Obama administration program shielding young undocumented immigrants from deportation.

ADVERTISEMENT During a private meeting at Trump Tower, Emanuel handed Trump a letter signed by more than a dozen mayors urging him not to follow through on his campaign pledge to scrap the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

“All of us fundamentally believe that these are students, these are also people who want to join the armed forces, they gave their name, their address, their phone number, where they are, they're trying to achieve the American Dream," Emanuel, President Obama’s former top White House aide, told reporters after the meeting.

Rush says liberals are fun to watch when they are out of power. Looking like Rush was right again.

The RATs are losing their minds. I love it!

“undocumented immigrants=Illegal aliens.”

This is not rocket science. But the Democrats need their low paid slaves, and they will do anything to keep their low paid slaves. I’m beginning to think the Confederates really did win the Civil war after ll. Democrats are proving this every day

They have been trying to use the military as a way to legalize illegal aliens, but have been unable to change the law to get them into the military.
It’s an emotional appeal to people to make them think these illegal aliens really care about America.

In order for any illegal alien under current law to apply to be an American, they have to go home and apply like anyone else.
Trump is indicating he is open to changing the law, at least for the so-called Dreamers.
The problem is that once we open that door, the demands for a wider amnesty will increase.
Can’t deport the parents, the grandparents, the uncles, the aunts, the cousins, etc.

Where’s a photo of those “students” wearing gangsta body art and making gangster signs with their hands? Those “kids” all look about 30.

Not sure pressure is the right word. Rahm was just trying to get some Hispanic vote because he would lose if the mayoral race was today.

They don’t want all their illegal voters to leave. If Trump chickens out on that very important promise,he is toast.
