Maxine Waters on Undocumented Immigrants: ‘This Is Their Country’
freebeacon.com ^ | 4/20/17 | Andrew Kugle

Posted on 04/20/2017 12:12:53 PM PDT by ColdOne

Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) told an audience on Tuesday that the United States is the country of undocumented immigrants.

Waters was speaking in Los Angeles to the Westchester-Playa Democratic Club about a number of issues, from the federal budget to how to resist President Trump's agenda, according to the group's website.

In her speech, Waters discussed young undocumented immigrants often referred to as "dreamers," who are protected from deportation by former President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive order.

Waters said that the United States is their country.

"These are people who have hope. These are people who have gone to school. These are young people who want careers. These are people who are contributing to our society," Waters said. "And all of sudden, they are thought to be folks who don't deserve to be here and would be sent back to places they've never been. People they don't know. Systems they don't understand. This is their country."

Waters also brought up the inaccurate story being reported this week of the Trump administration deporting a dreamer.

Really- how about an ‘undocumented house occupant’ take up residence in her mansion claiming it is their house?

who are protected from deportation by former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive order.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DACA is a direct violation of the oath of office to faithfully execute the laws of this country.
Illegal aliens should not be protected from the laws of this country by any President.
It is illegal and has no basis in law and is now President Trump’s illegal DACA program since he refuses to rescind this executive order as he said he would.

Okay Mad Max, you and the rest of your crazy rats in Congress should change our immigration laws if you don’t like them.

DHS Secretary Kelly says congressional critics should ‘shut up’ or change our laws re immigration, and who is illegal or not.

“Can we deport Maxine?”

Sorry, neither Venezuela nor Cuba will accept her.

W may have more luck with North Korea.

I don't know if Maxine is at all truly familiar with the "immigrant" community, but she better educate herself. The average latino immigrant from Mexico or Central America generally has nothing but contempt for American black people. It is a racism that is shocking to unaccustomed ears.

Having worked extensively in a milieu of latinios, it is fair to say that latinos will say things about black people that white people would never dare to say, at least not in the public sphere. Latino people consider themselves as white, or a type of white person. Most would be insulted if you lumped them together demographically with American blacks.

Maxine is fooling herself if she thinks importing legions of hispanics will in any way improve the lot of Holder's people. And then when you throw in competition for jobs between American Blacks and Latinos … that is a whole other can of worms with Latinos generally having the upper hand among the majority of employers.
