Trump on DACA recipients: Does anyone really want to 'throw out' good, educated young people?
The Hill ^ | 9/15/17 | Rebecca Savransky

President Trump on Thursday questioned why people would want to force recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to leave the country.

"Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military?" Trump asked on Twitter.

"Really!...They have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own - brought in by parents at young age. Plus BIG border security."

Yes! Otherwise, the next step is that we let in anyone who meets that description.

They can go make India and Mexico better places.

So you equate robbing a bank to being brought here by your parents when you were a kid?

Whatever.

OK so then forget bank robbery. Stealing a car, dealing weed, cheating on taxes, whatever. At what point in your opinion is breaking the law not forgivable because you enlist in the military?

Whatever.

Indeed.

I see you revised your analogy.

Thought it was pretty obvious that being brought here by your parents when you were a KID was the point at which it was forgivable IF you joined the military and put your life on the line for America.

More and more I am convinced Trump is NOT “up to speed” as far as being well informed about things he speaks of.

He seems to be totally unaware that DACA right now does NOT require that the young “dreamer” was brought here by their parents. DACA does not specify “how” they arrived here, only that they did. Even as a young person they could have individually crossed the border illegally - no parents involved and not seeking to join parents here.

Trump also seems unaware that under DACA and what legality it gives to those who register for it, can come a Green Card, and following the Green Card nearly 2,000 have gone from Green Card status to citizenship.

Trump also seems unaware that there is no “education advantage” with the “dreamers”. Their education attainment is no better than the general “Latino” demographic in their age groups, with the majority being either just high school grad or less.

We can at least say Kelly is doing a great job - for the globalists, for the deep state, for Obama and for the Democrats. How? As Trump’s gate-keeper, he’s being sure Trump does not know enough to know what he is ACTUALLY doing.

Does anyone really want to execute good, educated murderers?

Of course we do. The purpose is to prevent others from committing the same crimes.

>these kids didn’t break the law. Their parents did<

I’m tired of the ‘innocent child’ rebuttal to any argument for enforcing our laws. It’s just that this argument is so leftarded.

But, let’s assume that I’m just an insensitive knuckle-dragger. OK, I’ll admit to a lack of compassion and a need to change my attitude.

So, the ‘innocent children’ can stay but how about bringing child abuse charges against their parents? I could go along with that.

Otherwise, get them and their families out of here ASAP.

Please do!

You can point out that people who think think that living in Mexico is bad are American chauvinists. After all, aren’t all cultures equal?

To directly answer Trumps direct question:

I want to deport these educated young people.

ANY reward for lawbreaking must always be wrong.

I was excoriated during the campaign for pointing out Trumps mixed political history was likely indicative of a mixed political future.

I am actually pleased we are getting more conservatism than I expected.

I want to throw them out-every last one of them. They have no legal right to be here, no legal right to anything they acquired here. They are the same as squatters children who are left behind when they invade your home. They are not entitled to your property or money merely because they are present. They can use their illegally gotten education to return to their birthplaces and apply for LEGAL citizenship.

Yes, we want them thrown out. Anything less is Trump betraying those of us who worked hard to elect him.
