Trump to exclude U.S. 'dreamer' migrants from crackdown
Reuters ^ | Tue Feb 21, 2017 | Julia Edwards Ainsley

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....

someone that advocates for DACA shouldn’t throw stones in a conservative forum. especially one that wants to talk about his strong following on reddit. that’s pretty creepy.

and once again, I wasn’t attacking e-verify. I was attacking your use of e-verify to defend DACA. I keep having to correct you as you attempt to muddy up the water again and again.

stop squirming. if you were any kind of a conservative, you would just admit it was an unfortunate flip-flop, and hope that he fixes it in a few days. I think that’s actually quite probable. but you are actually defending DACA itself, which is a long ways down the road to amnesty.

so, I’m not the person that needs to explain himself. you are.

it’s called standing on principle, which seems to be an alien thought to you. and it matters little to me what an amnesty advocate thinks.

good night yourself.

You think that construction managers NOT hiring illegals turns them into ice agents??? If someone’s SS is false you don’t hire them that is hardly becoming an ice agent!!!

We've been had by the propagandists again! According to people that are "on the ground" with ICE and CBP Gen. Kelly has one directive Enforce the Law.

"Dreamers" are not special to their directive. The agents work off a list of known felons to apprehend. If in the course of their search they encounter other illegals they "call a bus" and take everyone. (Only taking the felon was a "W" thing and not even searching was,of course, a Barry thing.)

The ICE agents are doing what most of them have never done. Every day,all day,they are enforcing Immigration Law.

I think that apprehending illegals is ICE’s job, not some construction manager’s job.

And I’m positive that investigating identity theft (which is what you call using a stolen SSN) isn’t a construction manager’s job.

but none of that applies to enforcing (or not enforcing) DACA. bringing up e-verify in a discussion of DACA is to intentionally muddy up the water.

It's reality - the government pretty much invited them in and then protected them for years - while not nearly the same thing - it's similar in concept to a lot of us being promised free health care for life if we spent 20 years in the military then having that rug yanked out. We still get a better deal than the rest of the country, but it was a compromise made because of broken promises.

Not pleased with it, but can live with it until we find out what the final solution for addressing them will be.

I consider that an insult, I need an apology.
But my statement is accurate. There is no stomach by enough politicians for a wholesale round up of illegals, like it or not.

That’s a pretty offensive and false claim on your part.

Did you click the wrong perso's "Reply" lonk>

Looked at what I said - and you replied to:

It's reality - the government pretty much invited them in and then protected them for years - while not nearly the same thing - it's similar in concept to a lot of us being promised free health care for life if we spent 20 years in the military then having that rug yanked out. We still get a better deal than the rest of the country, but it was a compromise made because of broken promises. Not pleased with it, but can live with it until we find out what the final solution for addressing them will be.

And couldn't see why you would call it "a pretty offensive and false claim on your part" to me.

If an oops, no need to get back - if it wasn't an error, please explain.

We “pretty much invited them in”, “broken promises”, equal to the compact this country has with its veterans?

That is unadulterated BS!

If even the legal kids of legal parents are stationed abroad in, say, Japan, when the parents go home the kids need to go home too—even if they didn’t grow up wherever home is.

Same with military brats worldwide. And we don’t see that as some cruel hardship. We see that as the kids having had a fortunate upbringing.

At least as much must apply to those who lived here illegally, and have already been given massive taxpayer grants of world-class living standards educations.

Just because they should have been sent home earlier doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be sent home now.

Anybody else find this unacceptable?

Only in that if Trump excludes one group of illegals then how much longer before he identifies a second group to exclude. Or a third. Or a fourth.
