I’m more inclined to believe the news report is lying rather than Trump.

I won’t believe ANYTHING they say until I see them put exactly the accusation they report as a question to the administration, and the administration tries to make a distinction without difference for an answer.

Are you forgetting the whole election campaign?

“...the odds that anyone who was brought here by their parents as children and who have never lived in Mexico or any other country getting deported is Zero.....”
******************************************************************************

Wow! Anyone who has never lived in any other country but was brought to America as a child must, by definition, be an alien from another planet. As such, we would, with our current limited technology, be incapable of deporting it to its own planet.

OK, taking off my Grammar Nazi hat, I understand what you meant in your post. The problem is where would “the line” be drawn? How many years in the US using CONFIRMED DOCUMENTATION, what DOCUMENTED age at DOCUMENTED date of arrival? Having too much “kindness” has been killing our culture, IMHO. Sometimes you just have to say the law is the law and NOBODY should benefit from violations of the law.

I saw the report on CIS. Immigration is their thing and they track it religiously. And I’ve never seen them lie. They also used a government report for their stats.

Well I don’t know what CIS stands for, but even so, I do know strategy and tactics are two different animals and I still trust Trump more than any critic at this point.

Center for Immigration Studies. It’s what they do.
Trust away! I’ll count the time til he rescinds it.

“Until I hear it from the president himself, I don’t buy it.”

Fair enough.

To MAGA it would take rolling back liberalism. Trump has done a lot of good. But let’s face it, we are on the leftist road to ruin, and Trump is only a speed bump.

enrages conservatives

It has been known since Jan 20 that Trump was not going to target Dreamers at this time. I have not seen or heard any enraged people on this issue. Everybody has ignored this until this sudden re-gurgitation of old news. I suspect someone is just trying to generate the fundraising cycle again. Some new scare pitch to rake in the money.

This is no different than the Kamala Harris performance which was all about raising money for the future and had zero to do with Trump, Comey or the Senate. Are you receiving as many appeals for money as I am? These fundraisers obviously knew Harris was going to do this and were organized to time their appeals to her doing it.

Nobody’s enraged.

I am. One of the main reasons I voted for Trump is that I thought he would stand up and do the right thing.

You forgot the /s. I and many I know are outraged. Trump repeatedly promised repeated to end Obama’s executive orders and actions giving amnesty to illegal aliens. It bothers me greatly that he ignored this promise and is now himself giving amnesty to illegal aliens.

After my redneck brain quit doing back flips,I did some research. Pres. Trump can’t do or say anything about DACA without jeopardizing “Texas v United States” due to be heard this session by the USSC.
