The media was strangely silent as Mexico DEPORTED A BUNCH OF KIDS to the United States.. and while 0dunga proudly oversaw their arrival.

I’m CONVINCED that this is NOT Rush talking...although he may agree, to some degree or other (no clue here).

Basically Trump’s people know that sending back the ‘Dreamers’ (even if they are 25 year old killers belonging to MS13) will play bad, so they want to see how much room Trump has with his base.

My answer...maybe the following (just a thought). We take them if:
1) They can PROVE (conclusively) that they came here before they were 10 years old.
2) They haven’t (yet) killed anyone
3) They have some concept that the USA is not going to enslave them
4) (if they’re female) - they have enough class to marry a Gringo.

Also, they get ZERO rights to bring in ANYONE claiming to be direct or extended family (as I see it, the people that came to Ellis Island knew full well that their relatives would never get to come here through chain migration - if they really wanted to come here, they too could pay the money and take the risk to come here).

...then, maybe, we talk.

If Trump wants ANYTHING MORE - he is risking BREAKING his bond with his base. And if he breaks that bond, TRUMP will have to face Paul Ryan, Elizabeth Warren, and others that WANT HIS SCALP, alone - and he WILL be IMPEACHED, practically overnight.

I agree with RUSH! Deporting innocent people makes for bad politics. Lets start with deporting the true criminals and securing the border to at least stop the flow. One video of an ICE agent hauling a parent away from a screaming child will destroy any political will to enforce any immigration law. Law and order is great in theory. but in politics everything is perception.

Hardcore enforcement of the law without humanity is not justice, but tyranny.

Come on man. What have these kids taken from you? Nothing. I know they broke into your house and stole your health care and your social security benefits. They force you to get up every morning and go to work to personally support them. Get a grip. They’re kids for crying out loud. They didn’t personally break the law. This website likes to boast its Christian and Catholic beliefs with daily mass and prayers and yet you people display nothing but hatred - hatred directed at children. How patriotic and American of you.

you can’t justify the cop out on DACA. it would be awesome if people just admitted it was a misstep, and expressed hope that Trump will come back and undo this egregious bit of obamite tyranny soon.

But it’s pretty horrifying that people are trying to justify one of the bleakness chapters of Obamas reign with paragraphs of BS

Amen in my friend. It isn’t the children’s fault and we as Americans are supposed to take the moral high ground.

Got to pick your battles.

I agree, with the exception of any who were rushed just under the wire towards the end of the Obama regime.

you aren’t ending illegal immigration. quite the opposite, in fact.

The opposite? Could I get some details on this?

All it says is that the directives in the memo do not apply. Exactly what I said. It goes on to say

Today’s memo states that additional guidance on DACA and DAPA will be forthcoming.

Bottom line is, no one knows what the DACA or DAPA directives will be. I'll reserve judgement.

should it go that way, it’s probably wrong that the provocateur doesn’t also get a time out.

You throw out this fantastic statement, then you evade my question, responding only with a link for definition of opposite?

You behave like a leftist. Oh wait!! Are you not the guy who opposed Trump from day one? ☺

first of all, I’ve been saying since this thing came out that trump will hopefully come to consider this a mistake, and come back to correct it. the hope that there is additional DACA guidance forthcoming is the only way out of this mess.

but then a small band of very loud, very self righteous types insisted on justifying the unconstitutional overreach of obama on DACA In its own right, which was more than I was willing to ignore.

but, um, how long do you plan on reserving judgement?
