WASHINGTON – Young immigrants brought to the U.S. as children and now here illegally can “rest easy,” President Donald Trump said Friday, telling the “dreamers” they will not be targets for deportation under1 his immigration policies.

Trump, in a wide-ranging interview with the Associated Press, said his administration is “not after the dreamers, we are after the criminals.”

Mistake.

I’ve known dreamers. I’ve known a lot of dreamers.

Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Hated America.

Had contempt for America.

Had contempt for the people of America.

Had contempt for American laws.

Every one of them was a reconquista at heart.

I have to think you are a paid shill for illegal immigration.

Did Trump promise to rescind Obama's Dreamers exec orders on day one?

Yes.

Did Trump do that on day one or day 90?

No.

I am still waiting.

The Supreme Court has to have a court case to overturn it. No one sued to stop DACA.
The states sued to stop DAPA and an expansion of DACA.
That might get overturned, but the original DACA goes on unhindered as just as illegal as it was under Obama.

“We will immediately terminate President Obama’s two illegal executive amnesties, in which he defied federal law and the constitution to give amnesty to approximately 5 million illegal immigrants,” Trump said during a speech in Phoenix in August. “In a Trump Administration, all immigration laws will be enforced. As with any law enforcement activity, we will set priorities. But, unlike this Administration, no one will be immune or exempt from enforcement — and ICE and Border Patrol officers will be allowed to do their jobs.”

That was Trump then and this is Trump now...

Trump told the AP that his administration is “not after the `dreamers,’ we are after the criminals.” “Here is what they can hear: The `dreamers’ should rest easy,” Trump said. “OK? I’ll give you that. The `dreamers’ should rest easy.”

You keep spewing out garbage cause you can’t handle the truth. Words have meanings.

They split my head asunder with their radioactive arrogance. Trump is slitting the throat of MAGA if he pulls an Ivanka on the “DREAMERS”.
This group cons citizens while using their SS#’s and taking their jobs. Then, they Activate with a US taxpayer funded education complete with a university degree to bash white Americans, teaming with the SOROS open borders groups.
OMG! Is there any way to get Trump to see how contemptible they really are?

[SamAdams76]

What you be smoking, Smoking Joe? Smoking dope! Of course!

Just like Rosie O'Donnell and Bruce Springsteen, Smoking Joe hates Trump but he loves hemp.

[SmokingJoe]

Yup. What Trump is saying today is the exact opposite of what he said during the campaign in August, when he needed the votes of conservatives in order to win.

[SmokingJoe]

Keep are going to need to get off the crack. You are yet to make even one statement that makes any sense.

“What Trump is saying today is the exact opposite of what he said during the campaign in August, when he needed the votes of conservatives in order to win.”

You are correct.

I wish you were wrong,but you aren’t-———most discouraging,at least for me.

[SamAdams76]

What you be smoking, Smoking Joe? Hating on Trump and smoking the pot?

DACA is being used to get them permanent amnesty

[Robert DeLong]

Enjoying all the winning yet??

Actually, yes. Quite pleased. In addition he will build a wall and prevent more illegals from entering. No President is perfect, but he is a far sight better than what we have had for the last 24 years. At least so far.

[Lurkinanloomin]

How can he when he’s giving a pass to the kids they brought here illegally?

[Drago]

Wow Sargon, where did you ever get the idea that “hold President Trump to his promises = #NeverTrump’ism”?!? Pro-Trump voter and donor here that just wants him to do what he promised to do over and over...so he has a chance at being re-elected. Breaking promises in this political environment will make for a sure loss in 2020. “Read my Lips”.

P.S.: “repeal” means “repeal”, not “modify & replace”.

Doesn't anyone look at actual quotes? Per ABC's excerpting:

-----------------------

TRUMP: We aren't looking to do anything right now. (Emphasis added)

AP: That's going to be the policy of your administration, to allow the dreamers to stay?

TRUMP: Yes. That's our policy. I am not saying ... Long-term we are going to have to fix the problem, the whole immigration problem.(emphasis added) ... Here is what they can hear: The dreamers should rest easy. OK? I'll give you that. The dreamers should rest easy.

-----------------------

My bolded portions suggest the Dreamers should not be happy and fans of the Rule of Law should be happy. At the same, Trump, like many good businessmen, leaves them guessing. Can anyone truly say they got a lot of clarity out of that?

So, everyone take a deep breath and buckle up. We have an adult in the WH who doesn't tell the world what is his strategy. We will have to wait for results beyond, as stated elsewhere, lots of deportations and really good things that should warm the bones of most Deplorables.
