Just Now: Limbaugh Caves on Dreamers
vanity | FEB 22 2017 | Arm_Bears

Apparently, according to Rush, there's a price to be paid for following the law.

It seems that price is always paid by law-abiding citizens.

There is NO reason for the DACA program to continue. It should be ended immediately.

If it takes a short while to schedule their deportation, fine. But they’re not staying. And we certainly shouldn’t allow more to enter.

Apart from Clinton’s criminality and repulsiveness, immigration is THE issue which got Trump elected.

"By the way, I am ok with dreamers who turn 16-23 in 2017 and no younger and no older."

DEPORT THEM ALL! They can dream all they want in Mexico.

I am not ‘okay’ with any of them if they are here illegally and not born here.

I am so torn over this. First of all Dreamers did not break the law if they were 6 months when they came here. Second if they are not 20 and in college and didn’t even know they were illegal, how can we kick them out of the country? To where? Do they know the language? Customs? etc. I want to start with all the adults who came here which is around 10 million. 750,000 are Dreamers. We can wait till the end on those.

Exactly. Remove the carrot and you may not need the stick.

Also, enforce laws so employers pay the price when they hire illegals, and look into ways to solve the Western Union moneygram problem for those who work under the table.

Rewarding the lawbreakers? NEVER! Shame on Rush for being OK with any part of this nutty idea!

NOT OK with it. Reward all the lawbreaking parents who skipped the lines to come here? ASININE and suicidal!

Out of curiosity, why that age band?

Don’ bother trying to explain to a “Principled Conservative”.

He is busy keeping the Left alive by refusing any solution that doesn’t completely conform to his every wishes.

The statutes require that naturalized citizens must take an oath that renounces loyalties to foreign states, but in practice, dual citizenship is increasingly tolerated. The taking of an oath of military service or public office in a foreign country may raise problems at the margins, but even that is increasingly tolerated.

Roughly the age of kids able to live on their own or with a friend’s parent, and I really only wanted kids with promise to educate themselves or gain work experience to be productive and become decent legal residents. Of course they can have zero crime or gang affiliations at all.

I’d want no one here illegally, if I were queen. If I had to settle for some staying, it would be young people with great promise - but the folks gots to go.

I believe that is the approach. A flood of DACA types deported for criminal misconduct would do much to restore the credibility of US law enforcement.

With those constraints, the remaining DACA types will be law-abiding and conscientious — Republican conservatives in training.

Ending anchor babies is a big heft because a US Supreme Court opinion lends support to the view that their citizenship is based on the 14th Amendment. Hell no, I say, and we may have a President who agrees.

The things that kills me in all this is that the promise of 1986 was not kept and, if actions mean anything, was never intended to be. I can’t help but think off all the citizens who have lost their lives thanks to the chaos that is today’s immigration policy. What about their dreams? What about the families that were broken up by the acts of others that were never supposed to be here? For thirty years...

I guarantee you that more citizens’ lives have been lost to illegals than all the events of 911 and all the American blood spilt on foreign soil between 1986 and 2016. We were promised security during that time and that promise was empty.

In addition to the lost lives is the lost treasure. Jobs and opportunities and wage stagnation so that illegals could come in while the jobs went out. And the taxpayers were on the hook for all that for all those years and for yet another $20 TRILLION in the future. And how many stories of gratitude to the nation that grants them unearned have you heard to counter-balance to the stories of lives lost and families ruined?

For 30 years the American People have been patient, tolerant, generous—and _utterly had!_ And in 2017 we are being asked to go through it again _before_ the borders are even secure!

Absolutely not! Secure the border and make the world know the American people are serious are about dealing with illegal immigration and sending back the criminal aliens among us before we even talk about granting another round of amnesty!

It’ll be more politically palatable down the road, once the wheels of justice have been properly greased and the worst offenders are removed from our country.

Okay, I think I get the lower age limit, since they presumably have illegal parents that should be sent home—though that further works against the idea that it would be somehow cruel to send the kiddos home with them (as if the parents would abandon them here anyway) — but if they are older and have completed school and not been criminals otherwise, I don’t see why they should go home sooner than the demographically young adults should.

I agree with you on that. People will be accustomed to it.

Question: do people becoming naturalized citizens have to renounce their citizenship to their home country?
__________________________________________

Yes I had to so when I went for my final interview one month before the ceremony...I raised my right hand and swore that I renounced my current citizenship...

and I came from an ally, a British country, New Zealand, and not a 3rd world one ...

It is part of the naturalization process...I had no choice if I wished to become an American citizen...I could not be both...

for those 30 odd days my new Zealand passport was no longer recognized by the US or any other country, and I could not leave the US because I no longer had a valid passport...

as soon as I went through the ceremony, I was eligible to apply for a US passport...
