Rush on amnesty for DREAMers: “Nobody’s going to win anything by deporting a bunch of kids”
hotair.com ^ | 2/22/17 | Allahpundit

“Small price to pay to get the problem under control,” he says of amnesty for hundreds of thousands of young illegals, via the Daily Rushbo. Am I awake?

I kid. This shouldn’t be shocking — if you’re a pragmatist, not a polemicist. Point one: Trump has been hinting at amnestizing DREAMers for months. Usually that takes the form of gooey pronouncements about having a big heart and how “great people that are here that have done a good job … should be far less worried” about deportation than criminals. Lately, though, the White House has showed its hand more clearly by declining to suspend Obama’s DACA program for DREAMers as part of its executive overhaul of immigration policy. All Rush is doing here is getting in line with a Republican president he already spends much of his time defending.

Point two: An immigration deal with Democrats that would trade serious enforcement upgrades for amnesty for DREAMers does make a lot of sense. If Trump needs to horse-trade with Democrats to get 60 votes in the Senate for more Border Patrol, more sophisticated means of tracking immigrants internally, and so forth, legalization for America’s most sympathetic class of illegals is an obvious possible concession, especially since Obama’s already granted them

your question is retarded. my reply is self explanatory when you don’t selectively and dishonestly chop off the last part of it.

and the leftist crack is juvenile . . . and a little creepy.

I don’t think WE need
to deal with it. Mom
and Dad broke the law
knowing full well the
risk, and depended on
a liberal regime being
in place. For too long
our immigration polices
have simply been ignored.
That same risk would exist
if these dreamers went back
with Mom and Dad to their
countries of origin.
Deport all illegals and
let them apply for
citizenship if they truely
wish to assimilate and
become an American.

you aren’t ending illegal immigration. quite the opposite, in fact.

What does this mean John? How does this work?

read the reply. the entire reply. then think. once I think you’ve done your homework, if you still don’t get it, I will explain it to you.

but I generally don’t entertain explain trolls. they always turn into swirls of stupidity. the vast majority of the time, you either get it, or you don’t — or you don’t want to.

Maybe I should clarify just for you. When you stated:

Does this mean the numbers coming across will be doubling? Instead of about 1.3 million it'll be 2.6 million invading each year? Instead of secured borders, we'll instead get double the chaos and violence?

For the 4th time, are you going to explain your own statement or are you going to continue to evade the question?

at least you can count.

I'm certainly not going to explain my statement until you actually quote it accurately. see, the thing is, if you bothered to actually track down the entire reply (and it's really not that hard), you probably wouldn't need it explained to you.

sorry to be such a stickler, but it's my firm belief that people learn better when they earn it for themselves -- instead of having it handed to them.

Yep. Draft criteria, partition into groups of cases. Review groups and decide fairly for each case according to the group assigned.

Example:

350,000 are children < 18 yrs, parents or guardians here illegally. Deport entire family.

150,000 with criminal records or wanted for arrest. Drop chute them over Syria.

100,000 adult cases found unemployed and on government assistance. Send them on boats to Cuba.

50,000 cases found working under the table, not paying taxes. Send them on boats to Venezuela.

50,000 cases attending night school and failing (but getting a ‘B’ in Spanish language class; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLqqZmNFa_A). Round them up and send them to Zuckerberg’s 750 acres on Kaua’i.

50,000 go into hiding because their friends in night school got rounded up. Put a bounty of $10,000 on each head.

Problem solved.

do you honestly not know how to find my orignal reply? the guy that you quoted misquoted my post -- or at least quoted it incompletely. and now you're having a temper tantrum because I won't explain something to you that I didn't actually say to begin with.

I'm way over the line trying to help you here. I've probably spent more time on this tonight than it's worth, because explain trolls are usually just trying to start trouble anyway. but I can't help but wonder if you genuinely don't understand the exercise.

ah. ok. I thought you may have meant giving each and every one of them a painful, drawn out administrative hearing — complete with lawyers, judges, appeals, and a full set of constitutional rights.

THAT would take decades. the dreamers would be on social security by the time that process ended.

but dividing them into groups with similar circumstances sounds reasonable.

Hey, no problem. You're not required to explain your own comment or answer my question that you've evaded and danced around for half a thread. Come to think of it, this ended the same way last time I bumped into you. ☺

See ya!

You come into the country as a family unit, so leave as a family. Take care of your own children. Figure out how to re-enter legally.

However if Trump wants this issue I can live with it because I appreciate bigly what he is doing for this country.

We lose as soon as we start debating on their terms what’s with this word
“Dreamers”.. what the hell does that even mean what’s the legal definition for a dreamer? What a joke. Don’t mind us we’re just over here obeying the law and paying a shit ton of taxes for everybody to just live off of. And then the federal government turns around and makes things unequal and puts puts their foot on our necks while giving every criminal and perv preferential treatment. All the while the media does their bidding and pushes the deep state/globalist propaganda.
