To say these DACA folks have the right to stay is wrong.

Didn’t FDR turn away shiploads of Jews trying to escape Germany? Or am I misremembering?

Trapp Family.
The “Von” was added for the movie, for some unknown reason.
They wouldn’t have become professional singers if Austria had had the equivalent of the FDIC.
Traveling with their musical conductor, Rev. Franz Wasner, and secretary, Martha Zochbauer, they went by train to Italy in June, later to London, and by September were on a ship to New York to begin a concert tour in Pennsylvania. Son Johannes was born in January 1939 in Philadelphia.
When their six months visitors’ visas expired, they went on a short Scandinavian tour and returned to New York in October 1939. They were held at Ellis Island for investigation by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, apparently because when asked by an official how long they intended to stay, instead of saying “six months,” as specified on their visas, Maria exclaimed, “Oh, I am so glad to be here—I never want to leave again!” The Story of the Trapp Family Singers notes that they were released after a few days and began their next tour.

The real Maria actually was re-married. When she first learned they’d make a movie about the family she feared she might end up portrayed as a total slut. She had real complexes about her previous marriage.
As it turned out she was delighted with her movie portrayal.
That whole bit about The Captain at first being a yuuuuge meanie? That was all made-up, in real life the dad was a total sap, a big softie.
They really were famous as a singing family, though.
If Maria had been Mayan Mexican instead of Arian Austrian they would have fought to let her stay...
Democrats had a sort of DACA in early American history, and fought to keep “Negroes” in the country...
but for the wrong reasons.
Okay, who’s going to ask that monuments and references to the democratic party be banned all around the country?
No more amnesties! No DACA!
This is just another sob sister story modified to support today’s liberal narrative.
Either we have a country or we don’t. These so-called “Dreamers” come from a country that would imprison or deport illegal immigrants so fast they wouldn’t know how they landed on their asses, so it’s hypocritical and dishonest to act as if it’s just the United States being mean or some other such BS.
