Trump Will Allow ‘Dreamers’ to Stay in U.S., Reversing Campaign Promise
The New York Times ^ | JUNE 16, 2017 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR

WASHINGTON — President Trump has officially reversed his campaign pledge to deport the so-called Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as small children.

The Department of Homeland Security announced late Thursday night that it would continue the Obama-era program intended to protect those immigrants from deportation and provide them work permits so they can find legal employment.

A fact sheet posted on the department’s website says immigrants enrolled in the 2012 program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, “will continue to be eligible” to renew every two years and notes that “no work permits will be terminated prior to their current expiration dates.”...

I agree. It doesn’t matter what politician says it, our reaction should be the same. There are those here that think Trump walks on water - stay away from the Trump family thread. You can’t even question anything about him without being attacked.

Amnesty is amnesty no matter who gets it. And coming from Mexifornia, I know firsthand these so-called children have no respect for the United States and they only want our handouts. And they will no doubt vote Democrat.

The dreamers were not born here. They are here illegally. That’s the whole point of Obama creating the DREAM Act.

Actually what he said in the beginning was that everyone here illegally would have to leave. Some could come back, but only after they got in line. Remember him talking about the big beautiful door in the wall?

Yes he is doing a great job. But there’s nothing wrong with pointing out that he is allowing amnesty to happen for this Elite group of illegals. If we ignore the things that we don’t like that happen and pretend like everything is wonderful, then we are not holding anybody’s feet to the fire. I would do this with anyone, including Reagan who I respect and admire tremendously. I definitely questioned his amnesty, and his choice of Vice president.

We need to be honest comma with both everything good and everything bad, that Trump and other politicians do. I’m neither going to pretend that he walks on water nor am I going to bash or downplay all the Fantastic things he has already done.

And I didn’t say anything about your “family” I directed that at YOU! And I believe you started the little outburst. And you you think I’m a little punk. Interesting. Very interesting. Tell me more about yourself.

6? Pretty close to it.

But there’s sure to be more. It’s a safe bet we haven’t seen the last “Trump lied about Dreamers” thread.

Yes, that’s true. However, it was undefined. When he refined what he meant he gave that sequence: wall, criminals, talk.

He can still insist DACA get legal entry, but expedite it. That would be “good ones come back”.

Yes excuses are like a-holes...well we know the rest. He hasn’t revok d DACA..he didn’t want to revoke DACA and he could have day one via EO. The personality cultists are strong amongst those that refuse to make it about policy vs. the man.

Trump should reverse DACA. but.. Real change would be to deport anchor babies. And end birth citizenship to children of illegal and non-immigrant parents.

Fine. Just prosecute them as you find them using fake Socialist Security numbers.

I’m highly suspicious that Trump is being influenced by his globalist liberal son-in-law Jared and perhaps even his daughter. Jared Kushner is a left wing Dem from NYC. His family likely played a role in creating the 1965 Immigration Act that has changed the face of America.

I don’t know how the rich leftists get so much influence but they are destroying us as a cohesive nation, and they view things totally different from average working Americans in middle America.

The globalists in charge refuse to use the Social Security data base to locate and go after ID thieving illegals. It would be common sense but it is not what they want.
