Congress must act to protect Dreamers still living in legal limbo

With commencement season well underway in our nation, close to 3 million college graduates will receive their degrees with emotions that alternate between relief, excitement, and, most especially, eager anticipation for the future.

But for tens of thousands of graduates known as Dreamers, these events bring nothing but anxiety and uncertainty over whether or not they will even be allowed to stay and work in this country.

These exceptional and high-achieving individuals, who were brought to the United States as children, have been living in an unacceptable legal and political limbo ever since President Trump’s September 2017 decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

When he rescinded DACA, President Trump proposed that Congress approve a fix that would extend legal status to Dreamers who were impacted by his action.

In the meantime, federal courts have blocked the action and the Supreme Court has not yet taken up the case, meaning DACA remains intact, only allowing for renewals but not new registrations. Moreover, Congress has failed to act, tied up by larger, more controversial immigration and border security issues, effectively holding the Dreamers hostage. And the new proposal the White House rolled out this week addressing merit-based immigration does not address the issue of protecting Dreamers.

Dreamers are a category of illegals. Ain’t it grand how the Left totally shifts the conversation just by renaming things?

Another leftist created disaster. These graduating people could have been leaders in their own countries and may have actually accomplished some good there.

Deport them all.

DACA was never legal, the Kenyan from Indonesia admitted he could not make them legal.

ICE should go to Legal Limbo and arrest all the illegal living there.

I believe its next town over from Loma Linda, CA

The taxpayer funded program should never have been started. A program to help young CITIZENS should have been established!

Throw them out and end chain migration and “anchor baby” nonsense. They stole their U.S. education. That should be enough for them.

DACA = Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Deferred Action means do it later, not now. DACA was announced by obama/soetoro/whatever his real name is in June of 2012. It will be June 2019 in a few days. That is later. 9 years later. Take action. Deport now.

At the end of the day, Congress and the president must work together to forge a permanent legislative solution...

Sure they will. Right after they finish the Bipartisan Unicorn Hunt.

They now have much more education than they EVER would have gotten where they came from.

Send them back to their country of origin.

Put that education to work there to improve conditions there.

Congress must act to procure the use of a sufficient number of freighters to ship all the dreamers to Vera Vruz. If Mexico won’t let them land, disable the engines and leave the vessels in the harbor.
