I’m with Rush on this. I backed Trump from Day One first and foremost because of the illegal immigration issue, and I’ve been doing whatever I could against amnesty since the 2007 Bush debacle. In an ideal world, even DREAMers would be deported.
But, the main rationale against amnesty IMHO is not rewarding people who willfully violated our laws. The DREAMers did not willfully violate our laws.
On top of that, it’s a small price to pay for solving a problem that has festered for going on 40 years. The number one priority is to end illegal immigration. Some losses will have to be taken somewhere in order to do that, and the DREAMers are as good a place as any to take that loss.
you aren’t ending illegal immigration. quite the opposite, in fact. you’re tolerating particular kinds of illegal immigration.
