Trump to exclude U.S. 'dreamer' migrants from crackdown

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration plans to consider almost all illegal immigrants subject to deportation, but will leave protections in place for immigrants known as "dreamers" who entered the country illegally as children, according to official guidelines released on Tuesday.

The Department of Homeland Security guidance to immigration agents is part of a broader plan for border security and immigration enforcement in executive orders that Trump signed on Jan. 25.

Former President Barack Obama issued an executive order in 2012 that protected 750,000 immigrants who had been brought into the United States illegally by their parents. Trump has said the issue is "very difficult" for him.

The Republican president campaigned on a pledge to get tougher on the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, playing on fears of violent crime while promising to build a wall on the border with Mexico and to stop potential terrorists from entering the country....

A lot of these dreamers were over 20. They were not kids. Toss them.

If Trump does not end Obama’s illegal DACA program, it becomes Trump’s illegal DACA program.

If they are Minors and their Parents are Illegal Aliens too, then they will go home with their parents. If they don’t want to go I propose we REQUIRE Public Employees to LEGALLY Adopt them as their OWN!

Not until an official policy position is stated, and not a Reuters story.

For all we know, they just were not at the top of the list and are considered “low-priority” until this other mass is dealt with, which would be fine for now.

It’s smart, for now. Takes a bit of the heat off - things can change at any time. Get rid of the worst first...they don’t have the manpower yet to even do that, so there’s no sense having an explosion of this now. Get staffed, then move on to the next group once the worst are gone.

Dreamers get prizes, expect more dreamers.

Any policy towards illegals must - MUST - address the incentives that are set up by that policy. Are you incentivizing more to try their hand at illegal entry or are you incentivizing them to stay home and apply through the legal process?

With 600 million people south of our porous non-existent southern border and untold millions outside the Americas who might also avail themselves of this easy access, there can be only one immigration policy - Stop giving prizes for illegal entry.

Any measure that permits those who entered illegally to benefit from that illegal act is amnesty. And any amnesty will bring millions more invaders.

This must be stopped.

Will you help stop this?

Selective law enforcement.

Pick a law and choose one not to follow.

Why these guys? They grow up to take American citizen jobs, vote and demonstrate Democrat/socialist/communist just as do their wetback parents.

The cut off date was 35. I knew his Melbourne speech was a setup for this deal breaker. (For me.)

If true...no. DACA needs to stop. Yet I think DACA is still in the court system?

The DACA exemption has no basis in law as Judge Hanen found.

If the Congress wants to take it up and produce some process where illegal aliens who were brought in and raised here can petition to stay, that's something they can do.

But we all have to ask...why did their illegal alien parents get to decide who would be our co-citizens, and not us?

Maybe they could all appreciate the free education, the welfare, the housing in many cases, and the thousands of other things they got from us against our will. Maybe they could head home to Mexico to agitate for change in that country, instead of trying to hustle this one into letting them stay to take more of what they had no right to get.
