CNN and MSNBC journalists on Tuesday freaked out over Donald Trump’s decision to end DACA, deriding it as “cold hearted.” Talking to Sarah Huckabee Sanders at a White House briefing, an agitated Jim Acosta fussed at the way in which Barack Obama’s questionably constitutional program is being phased out: “Why did the President not come out and make this announcement himself today? Why did he leave it to his Attorney General? It's his decision. These kids, their lives are on the line because of what he's doing?”

Later, NBC/MSNC journalist Kristen Welker hyperventilated, “The President vowed to treat dreamers with, quote, 'great heart.' How is this move treating them with great heart?”

After not getting the right answer, she complained, “Dreamers, supporters of dreamers, say this is cold hearted. You're leaving the future of 800,000 people uncertain, up in the air. What’s your message to them?” 

As noted in a NewsBusters flashback, journalists aided in Barack Obama’s 2012 executive order, touting illegals who “cheered” it. 

On Tuesday’s morning shows, the networks decried Trump sparking an “immigration battle” and hailing a “blue-state backlash.” 

A transcript of the two questions is below: 

White House briefing 9/5/17 2:02pm

JIM ACOSTA: Why did the President not come out and make this announcement himself today? Why did he leave it to his Attorney General? It's his decision. These kids, their lives are on the line because of what he's doing?

2:08pm

KRISTEN WELKER: The President vowed to treat dreamers with, quote, great heart. How is this move treating them with great heart?

...

WELKER: The President's decision where all this stems from. Dreamers, supporters of dreamers say this is cold hearted. You're leaving the future of 800,000 people uncertain, up in the air. What’s your message to them?

SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS: It's not cold hearted for the President to uphold the law. We are a nation of law and order. And the day that we start to ignore the fact that we are that, we throw away everything that gives these people a reason to want to come to our country.

Jobs taken by illegal immigrants per state, according to http://fairus.org

Why are illegal immigrants so much more important than me and my family?

[tennmountainman]

CNN and MSNBC...driving more voters to Trump.
American jobs for American workers.

[central_va]

Why are illegal immigrants so much more important than me and my family?

Because they work cheap and vote Democrat.

The hue and cry is that these “dreamers” guarantee the future of the United States. We can’t get along without them. As Jeb! believed, Americans are no longer capable of building a nation with their own offspring.

What about the million aborted babies per year? Could they have contributed anything at all?

And DROP the damn “dreamer” BS!!!!!!

[Kaslin]

Illegal immigrants are criminals

[goldstategop]

Tht’s it - Trump won’t win CA and NY!

The fake news media always finds angles to attack the President.

Every time they do it, its backfiring on them.

Talk about perpetually enraged! It has nothing to do with DACA.

[Kaslin]

And DROP the damn “dreamer” BS!!!!!!

That can not be repeated enough

And DROP the damn “dreamer” BS!!!!!!

[Tennessee Nana]

No the cold hearted ones are the anti-immigration illegal aliens and their enablers...

what they do is unfair to IMMIGRANTS...

[SkyDancer]

They do not believe in American’s sovereignty. Well neither do liberals and Democrats.

[Kaslin]

Yeah as if he won Kalifornia and NY in 2016.

I can think of no single action more cruel than forcing people to live in Mexico or Central America. It must violate the Geneva Convention rules for torture somehow.

I can think of no single action more cruel than forcing people to live in Mexico or Central America.

We should just bomb the heck out of Mexico. It must be horrible, for so many millions of people to flee that hell-hole. Why else would they come here? So far, Mexico has had more negative effect on the USA than North Korea. Let's level Mexico and make it like the USA, then their people won't be fleeing it. (Said in jest, with crazy logic like the left creates. Then again, the illegals are driving us crazy...)

Two words: Elian Gonzalez.

[piytar]

Um, he’s following the Constitution - an amendment to immigration laws requires Congressional action, not an executive order as Obama used - you stupid morons. /obviously not directed at the OP or any Freeper, but rather the LSM idiots and other leftscum

[piytar]

Because you don’t give $$$$$ to the entrenched uniparty interests who want cheap illegal labor so they can continue crushing the middle class...

[tillacum]

Because the likes of the MS nbc, cbs reporters and reportettes do not live in the same areas as the illegal immigrants do. They live in homes bought by Mommy and Poppy or others. I wish they would take the time to really see how some of these illegals live. Move to a town in CA controlled by the illegal immigrants for 6 montHS, then come and tell us how wonderful the reporters and reportorettes lives were upgraded under the illegals.

[Sarah Barracuda]

What they meant to say is that VOTES ARE ON THE LINE because in order to ensure a permanent Democrat majority they need these illegals to vote Democrat

[tillacum]

“so much more important than you and your family”>Cheaper wages.
